Equipments
Boat Highlights : Aileoita is a 70' x 15' Hardwood boat, customs built in 2002. The Aileoita is outfitted with all the amenities of home including full air conditioning, tv, vcr, vcd, stereo, fridge, freezer, radar, depth sounder, gps,VHF/HF radio, 220V generator, life jackets, flares, EPIRB, first aid kit, tender and outboard, and a generous living room.
Aileoita has a cruising speed of 9 - 11 knots and is powered by two 180 HP engines perfectly suited to attain its optimal hull speed. 2 engines = much greater safety at sea, as well as increased speed, but also higher fuel costs. When looking into different boats for your next mentawai vacation, and how they are priced, please keep this in mind. Aileoita is competively priced with several single engine boats, despite it's higher fuel consumption.
Accommodation on board is in four private twin share cabins. The beds inside each cabin are wide enough to comfortably accomodate a couple; towards the bow, there is an additonal cabin that can accomodate a couple as well, maximum surfers allowed on board is 10 people.
The runabout is a 14 foot fiberglass tender with a 25 HP outboard engine.
The Aileoita has an immense back deck with wrap-around benches and a roof, which is great for hanging out, and waiting for a bite on the trolling gear.
The staff on the Aileoita includes the captain, a mechanic, a chef, two deck hands, and a highly qualified surf guide, Jordan Heuer, or qualified alternate surf guide, trained by Jordan.
