Boat Trip Lembongan, Lombok, Sumbawa
You thing that boat trips are only for the pros you have seen on video? You will have to change your mind. You can take off on a surfboard, but you want to truly learn surfing in many different waves. This is made for you.
The Trip
The "Petro" will take you from bali to remote surf spots around Lembongan, Lombok and Sumbawa.
Its route makes this trip so special. Owing to our experienced crew and the boat's properties, it is one of the few boats that circles the southern coast of Lombok. Here you will find one world-class spot right next to another.
The most famous breaks that can be surfed are
Lembongan: Shipwrecks and Playgrounds
Lombok: Desert Point, Belongas and Ekkas
Sumbawa: Scar Reef and Supersucks
Of course, our experienced crew will also head for various secret spots. We choose spots according to the current tides, wind and swell conditions. We also take into account our participants' preferences and surfing ability.
The Team
Former Spanish Surf Pro Alfredo Dominguez grew up on the Canary Islands and has been surfing all his life. In 2003, him and his son Iban moved to Indonesia where they set out to find the perfect Indo wave. After three years of surfing the Mentawaii Islands we are now jointly trying to strike lucky on the West-Tenggara Islands – come and join us!
Alfredo's son Iban has been surfing since he was 14 years old and is part of the permanent crew of the "Petro", working on board as a surf instructor. Our experienced Indonesian captain Made who has been cruising the Indonesian waters for 20 years, a machine operator and our cook are also part of the crew.
The Boat
The elaborate design of the entire boat with its comfortable lounge, spacious bunks and air conditioning in all cabins make sure you will have a pleasant stay on board.
In its shared cabin and double cabin the Petro can accommodate a total of 14 persons. There are three toilets on board.
After or inbetween sessions you have various options for killing time. Relax with a good book on our large chill-out deck, go snorkelling, fishing or harpooning. Moreover, you can check out the media on deck – listen to music, watch DVDs or go on the Playstation. You will never end up bored on the Petro.

Route
The trip starts on Bali where you will be picked up directly at the airport or from your accommodation. We will drive to the harbour where the "Petro" will be waiting for you – ready to set sail. Only one hour and you will already be at your first destination – Lembongan Island. Later we will pass the fairly empty south coast of Lombok and head for West Sumbawa. There will be other empty spots every day.
Meals
A choice of fresh and ever varying food on the menu should leave nothing to be desired.
For breakfast, there is toast with various spreads, pancakes, omelette, bacon and eggs, cold meats and cheeses – something different every day.
Mains are a mix of Indo and Western food with something for every taste. Fresh fish with veggies, steak with mashed potatoes, spaghetti bolognese, gado-gado, nasi goring, beef rending, chicken schnitzel with fries, soto ayam & sate or simply sashimi made from fish just off the hook. During the day we serve further snacks and fresh fruit.
Coffee, tea and all kinds of soft drinks are included in the price, alcoholic beverages can be bought on board for a small price.
Equipment

Diving Lessons on Lembongan Island
Bali's neighbour island Lembongan is known as one of the Sundan Islands' diving paradises. Experienced divers do not only wax lyrical about the diversity of species to be encountered at the outside reefs – this particular region is also known as pairing place of the Mola-Mola (sunfish). Views of these gigantic fishes are on every diver's list. In case you won't get to see them, sharks, rays and the casual turtle will compensate you. With our licensed PADI diving school you will have the opportunity to experience the underwater world of the tropical reefs. Take a trial lesson or become a trained PADI Open-Water Diver.
