HUEY is an 82 ft ex customs patrol vessel customized
for surf charters. Built and launched by the Japanese
Government in 1978 HUEY is one of the faster boats
serving the Mentawai Islands. Finishing in March
2006 Huey underwent a four month refit which
involved rebuilding the main engines, plus new propellers
and shafts to ensure reliability and safety for
our guests.
She is powered by two V12 650HP Twin Turbo Detroit
diesels so getting there in all weather conditions
is never a problem.
Ducted air conditioning throughout
the vessel ensures your preferred room temperature
and
the share accommodation sleeps up to 10 passengers
in comfort. There's plenty of accessible board storage
and the spacious, covered front deck area is a favourite
among guests for catching the cool breeze or lazing
in the afternoon shade. The surf conditions in the
Mentawais can change quickly. Steve and crew
are some of the most experienced in the region and
with extensive knowledge of what breaks will be
best in all conditions you are guaranteed to be
at the best possible breaks enjoying maximum wave
time...getting the barrels of your life! Accessing
the surf is never a problem on board Huey as it
also has 2 x 4M tenders, both with 25 HP outboard
engines.
