The King Millenium II is an aluminium catamaran built in Australia in 1995 and refurbished in 2007 specifically for surf charters.

She's faster than most boats operating in the region, with a cruising speed of 10-12 knots. Being a catamaran, she's also more stable than a mono hull and also safer. And with 4 triple share a/c cabins that each have their own TV and DVD player you'll be able to fully relax in between sessions. 

The King Millenium 2 has plenty of interior and exterior space to relax in. And whats more is that you can expect a great nights sleep. Catamarans are renowned to be far more sturdy thanks to their double hull that reduce "swaying" when anchored up. Not only will you have a better nights sleep than the majority of other charter guests in the region (that are staying aboard a mono hull) - but you'll probably get less seas sick too.

Cabins includes:

* 12 beds (A/C)
* 4 x private "triple" share cabins
* Full air conditioning
* Each private cabin comes with its own TV and DVD player

The catamaran also features a large interior living room with large couch, a plasma screen TV, DVD, Wii gaming console and a home cinema system.

There are also several exterior chill areas to relax in. The main exterior deck, at the back of the boat is the main spot to relax in and the deck below is where your meals are served. At the front of the boat there are 2 additional decks with seating.

* Large lounge with TV with DVD player

Vegetarians can be catered for with prior notice.

A variety of snacks are also served in between meals. Each serving is based around fresh local produce such as fish, fruit, vegetables, pasta and meat. Guests are entitled as many fresh fruit juices, soft drinks and bottled water as they want within a reasonable limit.

The package includes 2 daily beers; all extra beers are paid at local prices.

The Crew of The King Millennium 2 has many years of experience in surf charters. All the crew speak English and treat the guests such that they feel at home.

If you’re booking a large group then you’ll usually get to choose which region. Smaller groups and single surfers should enquire as to which region the charter will be heading to.

All regions offer a great range of waves, so it’s best to check out our destinations pages as well as the surf breaks listed there to get an idea of which region you’d prefer to visit.
