Indies Trader 4

Indies Trader 4

“The Indies Trader IV carries more toys and goes faster than any other boat in Indonesia. Bigger, faster. better accomodations, Better service ,better food, better everything. Armed and dangerous!” Martin Daly

Every year…

the Trader IV will voyage from the Mentawai Islands in the West to the the remote corners of the western part of Indonesia. West Papua  annually. Moving with the seasons we  cruise the whole indo Pacific Coast of Indonesia and beyond -  we guarantee our guests a true wilderness experience, with rich culture, isolation,Privacy and  good waves with no crowds

We have systematically explored this entire region over the last 30 years and believe it to be one of the world’s last frontiers of untouched natural wonders.

No other organization has even close to the experience we have bring you safely and comfortably to these remote locations and no other vessel can take you there in such luxury.

Standard Trip

The standard trip duration is 12 days / 13 nights, two days . We stay out for these two extra days than most others to ensure that our guests have the opportunity to surf at least one solid swell during their stay, but in all likelihood we usually encounter two, sometimes three significant swell events during our scheduled charter dates. If you’re going to travel halfway across the world those two extra days are worth their weight in gold. - 22 guests maximum.

Crew Info

The Indies Trader IV crew is solid and qualified. Captain Erik Soder oversees a diverse crew of Indonesians and Westerners to deliver the highest level of service and satisfaction possible. Whatever you need, they are there to take care of it!
