– TESTIMONIALS –

“Wow, what can we say – exceeded our wildest dreams with many of the lads who have been on 3-4 other boat trips in the Ments & Maldives calling it the best experience out of the lot! The character of the boat itself, the awesome food , surf knowledge and froth factor in the water !

Nick Pearse, Australia

“Great food, cold beers, extraordinary surf and the most incredible sunsets I’ve ever experienced. Too good! Let me live on Jiwa!”

Dan Hardiman – USA

“Where do i start? how about “All time!” We landed on the mighty “JIWA” , The boat exceeded all of our expectations, the trip and waves were all time. You made our stay “Sensational”. Thanks.”

Geoff

“6 trips to the Ments, easily as good, if not the best. Food, waves and vibe outstanding! Love the boat, it’s got soul not like the western gin palaces. Food mountain and general energy none better! Always on the money, great guides and great humans. Chris, his shots are unreal makes old hacks look pro, well underrated! Thanks for making an old man happy.”

Jonny Frank, Photographer

“3 sheets to the wind. All fun aboard the good ship JIWA. Thanks for the delightful fuel each day and for reminding us of the reason we are here; for leading from the front and the boundless enthusiasm. For the positive words and actions made me try a littler harder. And the crew who graciously kept the geriatric circus moving forward. Thank you!”

Micheal Tragear
