An endless surf team representative (Angel Melaleuca) will pick you up at the airport in Padang dans transport you to your transit hotel or the boat depending on what time you arrive. When you arrive at the Melaleuca you will find 25 meters of air conditioned comfort and space. Every square foot of the interior is under A/C except the galley and captains quarters.
The main saloon is equipped with comfortable couches, a bar, a flat screen TV, DVD player and stereo. The separate dining area is a nice feature for large goups. 6 individual cabins make for a more luxurious feel than the dorm style.
The Melaleuca has two, 3 persons cabins, three, 2 person cabins and a surf guide cabin all with their own A/C units for individual comfort. Two battrons, one with an interroi entrance allows you to stay dry and go during foul weather.

The exterior is more spacious than any other local boat. The upper deck is huge with a booming stereo that you can hear in the lineup if you like. Half the upper deck is open and half is covered. You get real shade with our hard top. Suntan or get out of the sun and spread out with 360 degrees of unobstructed views of your mates getting barreled.
The fishing station is also covered with a hard top and gives great access to some of the best fishing anywhere. Plenty of covered, easy access board storage, an outside shower and swim platform finish off this magnificent, spacious living area.

The melaleuca is powered by twin Mitsubishi 8DC9's with 320 HP each. 

We prepare traditional Indonesian cuisine, western style cuisine, sushi, sashimi, vegetarian and a variety of foods to please every palate. We include 3 meals, snacks, beverages and 3 ice cold beers a day.
