See our Schedule and Booking page for the schedule and availability of The Sjalina!
Surf Banyak’s tours on the Sjalina run provide 10 surfing days in the Banyak Islands. If you come directly from overseas our ground agents can meet you at Medan international airport and transfer you to your internal flight to our port in Sibolga. That night, we cruise out to the Banyaks where we have you surfing the morning after your arrival.
Sjalina is a 50ft motor yacht with twin 200HP Mitsubishi engines and usually accommodates 6 guests (not 8-10 like most) so you will get more waves in a friendly atmosphere on the Sjalina. Her cruising speed is 10 knots and she is fitted with all appropriate safety equipment including a satellite telephone allowing you to be in contact with your family, friends or business if necessary.
The Sjalina has sleeping quarters for 6 or 7 guests in bunk-style accommodation. Both sleeping and living areas are air-conditioned, though you will probably spend a lot of time on the back deck where you can watch the waves. There are shower, toilet and on-deck fresh water rinsing facilities to service your needs and keep you refreshed after each surf session. The Sjalina has a water-maker, which can provide 80 litres of fresh water per hour.
For added entertainment you have a TV, DVD, VCD player and plenty of films. There are also in cabin and on deck music systems to accommodate your IPOD or MP3 player so you can chill out to your favourite tunes. There is a Canon EOS 5D camera to capture quality pictures to take home and make all your friends envious of your surfing adventure. You will find plenty of snorkelling equipment, and custom made fishing rods to hook up that fish of a lifetime.
Our guests rave about the meals and snacks provided on board the Sjalina, with a range of Western and Indonesian style dishes including beef, chicken, fish and vegetarian cuisine. The fishing is amazing around the Banyaks so you might be the one catching dinner!
