Indies Trader IV Overview
"The Indies Trader IV is the ultimate, ultimate surf charter vessel. It carries more toys and goes faster than any other boat in Indonesia. Bigger, faster. better accomodations, better food, better everything. Armed and dangerous!" Martin Daly

Standard Trip: The standard trip duration is 12 days / 13 nights, two days longer than most of our competitors. We stay out for these two extra days 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.

Destinations
Every year the Trader IV will voyage from the Maldives in the West to the Islands of Fiji in the East. Moving with the seasons we will cruise the magic spice islands of Sumatra, Java and the eastern archipelago of Indonesia. Sailing east to Irian Jaya, Papua ,the Louisiades and on to the Solomons and Fiji through the Coral Sea , we will guarantee our guests a true wilderness experience.

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

Dive on virgin reefs, lounge and swim on uninhabited pearl white beaches and surf secluded reef breaks. View endangered and rare species such as the Orang-utan and Komodo Dragon and hike through steamy rainforests.

Visit astounding archaeological and geological sites and experience rich and diverse cultures. Each destination will offer it’s own treasures and most are only accessible by sea.

No other organization can bring you to these remote locations and no other vessel can take you there in such luxury.

Vessel Description
The hull is single chine mono displacement. The vessel is a twin screw ocean passenger cruising vessel constructed of welded aluminium with a raked stem, full keel, stepped transom stern, raised two deck accommodation, bridge located forward, helicopter pad located on the upper deck roof.

Ideally we are targeting group bookings where a single party elects to charter the ship in it’s entirety for a fixed ,all inclusive daily fee for any size party up to 22 persons.
