Hey Brian
I just wanted to start by saying, the experience & knowledge of Brian, Jarro and their team, is just amazing.
Knowing Brian has close to 25 years experience in the Maldives, running surf trips, & even writing a book on history of Maldives, including spots, pioneers, and history.
Jarro has also a wealth of knowledge approximately 20 years. They have such in depth knowledge of the Maldives not only the spots, swell directions, conditions, giving you the ultimate trip & experience. Both Brian and Jarro are very highly respected by many of the other companies & surf guides whom have been there for along time. Even if surf is not firing he and his team will just come up with a island visit or fishing, or find where the next spot that will light up and move the boat there ready. I’m no fisherman but have caught GT’s, Tuna, Wahoo, Red Sea Bass (I reckon it was a Coral Trout, haha)
I have travelled to many exotic places (including boats, camps, off the beaten tracks) some are now getting well known, but others are still yet too be discovered by the mainstream throughout Pacific and Indian Ocean but Maldives, is truly, one of the most amazing places and is like a giant aquarium and wonderland. I have done a few trips with these guys, and honestly after the experiences with them, I have returned every year. Passing on my experiences to many friends/family/work colleagues, whom are also now booking with these guys too.
I cannot speak highly enough of these guys, but honestly I didn’t want the word to get out how good Maldives is, but if you want the best company and experiences chat with Brian or Jarro or their team.

I have travelled with Brian on several safaris dating back to 2003. First with Core Travel in the early days and more recently with him on the luxury safari, Carpe Vita with a group hosted by Bob McTavish, a real memorable trip with great waves and great friendships made.
All safaris have been far from the busy areas and Brian’s knowledge of these remote surfing points gives surfers the edge over the fleet. The name of the game in Central and Southern Atolls is one boat with friends surfing perfect waves with no one else in sight. Brian does his utmost to achieve this goal.
His experience in hosting surf groups is evident with an amiable character that puts all guests at ease and confident in his ability.
Personally I have a passion for fishing and although the trips have been primarily surf trips the fishing has been fantastic. So many opportunities to wet a line, while travelling the lures are always out and while at anchor day or night the fish bite well.
Brian’s Maldives safaris are highly recommended by myself and I will be back in Maldives asap. Get onboard if you can, you will not regret it.
