Adman's Take On the Four Seasons Explorer, Maldives

by Tropicsurf Blog December 06, 2018

WORDS OF LEGENDARY TROPICSURF GUIDE, THE ADMAN

I've guided more than 30 Explorer surf charters. There's nothing out there like it.

A great benefit of the Explorer is that it can travel overnight to where the surf is best, so you can arrive fresh and surf all day. There are two or three Tropicsurf Guides on board, so we can manage beginners at one break catching their first-ever green wave, and their friends can be pulling into barrels across the channel.

We're always on hand to help even the most experienced surfers hone their skills and use video footage to give constructive feedback. For recreational surfers, the Maldives has amazing variety and consistency. The place is magic. 

Each trip differs with the dynamic. Evenings on board include excellent food and great wine. There are BBQ nights, movie nights and parties. Or we can go chase a swim with whale sharks or manta rays. Of course, you can always escape with a good book too. 

Without a doubt, my favourite part is the lively banter at the dinner table and the people you meet. Everyone is there for the same reason and that is to have a great time. There are a lot of laughs.

Experience Fiji at its most dynamic.

This July and August, Tropicsurf introduces a private superyacht expedition designed to move with the South Pacific swell. Rather than being anchored to a single location, each day is shaped by real-time conditions — allowing the yacht to reposition between island chains and remote reef systems as wind, tide and wave quality evolve.
