The trip was amazing!
The only thing we would change, would be to make it longer, because we did not want it to end. Liuttey did an amazing job making sure he got us into good empty lineups with good wind. Lars was such a cool guy. He made sure we were safe and having a blast trading waves.
Our room, the boat, the food, and the staff were all excellent. Shane and his family were so cool. Overall it was a great experience that we hope to do again in the future. Thanks Charlie!

Maldives with Shane Dorian
The Carpe Vita luxury boat in the Maldives has been on my bucket list for a long time, and TPW made it happen. The experience was even better than the fantasy!
I cannot speak highly enough of my fantastic experience with Perfect Wave on the Carpe Vita.
This was a surfing holiday for me, organised by my wife with the help of Charlie Pierce, and it all came together perfectly. The crew and facilities on board the boat were fabulous and the breaks we went to were always the best for the conditions. Everything runs like a dream on the CV. All crew are very accommodating, friendly and helpful.
