About Raja Ombak

Raja Ombak is a 25-metre custom-built vessel created specifically for surfing and diving in Indonesia’s island-studded waters. Built in 2019 in Sulawesi - home of the legendary Bugis traders, Indonesia’s master boat-builders and seafarers - the vessel carries forward centuries of maritime tradition while offering all the comforts expected of a modern charter.

This four-storey boat is designed around space and flow. The top deck is a highlight: a large shaded outdoor lounge with cushioned seating, bean bags and an additional sun area - the ideal spot for checking the horizon, reading a book or sinking into post-session relaxation. On the bridge deck are four private double cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom.

The main deck houses a generous dining area with an oversized communal table, a TV, sound system and open space for briefings or downtime. Below deck, three shared cabins provide additional capacity, each with their own en-suite bathrooms and air-conditioning.

Life on Raja Ombak centres around adventure and comfort. Days unfold among the scenic islands of the Mentawais: cruising between reef passes, surfing warm tropical waves or diving into clear-blue channels. Between sessions you’ll refuel on plentiful buffet-style Indonesian and Western meals, with snacks served throughout the day so guests are always ready for the next surf or dive window. Dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice.

In essence, Raja Ombak delivers a sense of freedom, exploration and classic Indonesian boat culture - all while providing the space, comfort and hospitality expected from a premium live-aboard experience.
