"Just a short note of thanks for providing such a great trip recently (Sumba-Mangkudu). I have experienced 4 boat trips to the Mentawais and 1 to the Maldives and I have to say that yours was up there with the best for surf and the winner for comfort and hospitality. You have a winning formula happening. Great boat + excellent crew + comfort + world class waves  = very happy camping."

"Thanks to Bulan Baru and her crew for a fantastic couple of trips last month. We surfed every day. The guides found good waves on the small days, and put us in the best spots on the bigger days. The surfing -- plus great food, comfortable accommodation and a positive onboard vibe -- made my time aboard Bulan Baru unforgettable. I can't wait to go back."

"In the harbour she stands tall
Bulan Baru, searching for gold
The wind, the sun, the tides all play
The reefs, the swell combine to bespoke
A surfers dream, an epic day!

From shore to shore, we roam and seek
Forever moving, searching the perfect peak.
Bulan Baru, new moon, new moon
The crew, the friends, the energy all make
The trip of a lifetime make no mistake.

Crystal clear and aqua blue
The water’s so warm, Bulan Baru
New moon, new moon you are our guide
Take us there, take us there
Bulan Baru, new moon, new moon."
Victor Quadrelli

"Just a note to say thanks for putting on such an incredible trip. Of the boat trips I've been on, none can compete with the Bulan Baru for the combination of variety and consistency of surf, no crowds, comfort, declicious food and warm hospitality.

Firstly, in preparing for our trip, I was very impressed by your grace and responsiveness in dealing with issues that arose from our end. Stepping aboard the Bulan Baru she was magnificently presented and thoughtfully laid out. I wince when I imagine how much time and energy you must spend to keep a traditional wooden boat in showroom condition. Todd was unfazed by the 'worst case scenario' swell forecast we were landed with and somehow continually got us in to an awesome selection of easy and challenging uncrowded waves to cater for everyone. An unexpected highlight for us was the mind blowing spearfishing! The crew are great mates and clearly love doing what they do. On the first day we felt warmly welcomed. On the last day we felt like we had made new lasting friendships.

Despite the worst eight days of September swell in living memory, every one of our guests rebooked for the next available trip on the Bulan Baru before we even got on the plane home. I think this is the most ringing endorsement we could offer.

Sincere thanks for an awesome adventure."
Duncan Bunning - Perth, Australia
