D’Bora is our original boat, first launched in 2007. She is a traditionally constructed Indonesian vessel custom-built for surf charters.
D’Bora is 80 feet long and stands out among surf charter boats for her spaciousness, particularly her outdoor top deck and indoor saloon. The top deck is where we hang out, eat meals and watch the action, complete with a beer fridge and stereo system. The saloon has a large comfy sofa, TV, a hard drive full of movies (2000+) and breakfast bar. There are two private cabins and a dorm providing a total of 16 berths, though we take only 10 guests max. All the interior areas of the boat are air conditioned. There are two bathrooms at the back of the boat. D'Bora is powered by an 8-cylinder Nissan RF8 which has her cruising along at 8 knots. 24/7 electricity is provided by two generators. The full array of safety gear and navigational equipment in accordance with Indonesian Survey laws is on board (including satellite phone, HF and VHF radio, radar, GPS, sounder, 25-person life raft, flares, life jackets and fire extinguishers). Our crew have all received first aid and fire training. Singo Rajo is our 22-ft aluminium tender running a 300-hp outboard. We use Singo to run between breaks, go fishing and diving. We also have a rigid hull inflatable with 15-hp outboard for shuttling to and from the waves and time out on the beach. |
