Surf Charter Trips from Bali to Lombok, Sumbawa & Beyond

Indonesia is a true paradise for surfers — and there’s no better way to explore its legendary waves than by boat. A Bali surfing charter gives you the freedom to chase the best conditions across multiple islands, far from the crowds and traffic of the mainland. Whether you're planning a weeklong surf trip with your mates or a full 10-day island-hopping adventure, our surf charters are the perfect way to score consistent waves, tropical weather, and unforgettable memories.

With year-round swell and warm water, Bali and the surrounding islands offer something for everyone — from mellow beach breaks for beginners to world-class barrels for seasoned pros. By chartering your own surf boat, you’ll not only get to access remote surf spots that are otherwise hard to reach, but you’ll also enjoy a relaxed and flexible schedule. No need to check into hotels or pack up your gear every few days — your boat becomes your base, and the ocean is your playground.

One of the most famous surf destinations in the region is Desert Point on the southwest coast of Lombok. Known for its long, hollow left-hand barrel, it’s often described as one of the best waves in the world. When the swell, wind, and tide line up, Desert Point can peel for over 300 meters — offering advanced surfers the ride of a lifetime. A surf boat allows you to anchor nearby and be the first in the water before the crowds arrive.

Other top surf spots in the region include Shipwrecks, Lacerations, and Playgrounds on Nusa Lembongan, which are perfect for shorter charters from Bali. These reef breaks offer a mix of conditions, from friendly rights for intermediate surfers to more powerful, technical waves that challenge even the pros. Since conditions can shift from hour to hour, your experienced crew will help you find the best breaks each day — so you’re always surfing the right spot at the right time.

For longer trips, you can cruise east toward Sumbawa, or even south toward the Mentawai Islands, which are known for consistent, uncrowded waves and untouched beauty. These remote areas are ideal for surfers who want to escape the hustle and experience Indonesia’s surf the way it used to be — raw, wild, and perfect.

Charter options range from live-aboard surf boats, where you sleep on board and wake up to waves, to hybrid setups where larger groups can charter the boat for daytime surf trips and stay on shore in comfortable villas or beachside bungalows in the Gili Islands or Lombok. This is a great way to keep things flexible and affordable, especially for groups with mixed preferences. For small groups of up to 6 people Sri Noa Noa offers a great value surf charter option.

Many of our surf charters include a personal chef and all meals, snacks, and drinks. You can even throw in a bit of fishing between sessions — there’s nothing like catching a tuna or mahi-mahi and having it grilled fresh by your onboard cook.

Whether you’re chasing barrels, perfecting your turns, or just looking for a laid-back surf escape with your crew, our private surf charters from Bali are the ultimate way to experience the best of Indonesia’s waves.
