    Over 30 surf charter yachts are based in [wiki=a7bf82ce43e8d7e78a5824999295e157]Padang[/wiki] harbour, around 100km away from the islands on the [wiki=a16772223d0aacd142b9754285d227fc]Sumatra[/wiki] mainland.

    The most economical ferry to Mentawai is the Ambu Ambu (made from steel). Since September 2009, the Ambu-Ambu ferry travels overnight from Padang Bungus to Muara Siberut on the second and third Thursday nights of each month. From Muara Siberut to Padang Bungus, the ferry travels on the 2nd and 3rd Friday nights of each month. The ferry departs from Padang at 21:00 and arrives at approximately 08:00 the following morning. Take note that this ferry takes double of its capacity so it is overcrowded most of the time. You can hire mattress or crew's cabin for two (800,000IDR)

    The Sumber Rejeki traditional ferry (made from wood) travels overnight from Padang Bungus to Muara Siberut every Monday evening. From Muara Siberut to Padang, the ferry travels every Tuesday night.

    Since July 2014, Mentawai Fast [http://www.mentawaifast.com/] (privately owned) ferry operates 6 days a week from Dermaga Muara (closest to Padang city). It takes 3 hours to get to Tua Pejat and Siberut. The ferry accomodates 200 passengers. Made fully from aluminium with 3 engines and 2 generators to keep the air conditioner running. Rates per 2014 is 295,000 (IDR) to Tua Pejat and Siberut (insurance, drink and snack included). However there is surfboard charge included (230,000) IDR per bag which goes to local people and crews.
