The basic motto of the MV Midas is “power, shower, devour.” The #1 activity on this boat is surfing: preparing to surf, surfing, recovering from surfing, loading up with delicious calories from the kitchen, and getting ready to surf again.

But when the wind or the tide or the swell are wrong, there are other options, most of which involve the ocean. Spend the morning flying over the reef, and the afternoon swimming within it. Midas has 10 sets of snorkeling gear to check out an underwater scene that makes Sponge Bob Square Pants seem like black and white.

If you like fresh fish – raw or cooked - the Midas provides Shimano reels with Penn rods and tackle and lets you keep the cutting board and the table stocked with fresh yellowfin, trevally, mahi mahi and a dozen others that are good eatin’.
The Midas has a Yamaha PWC available for exploring, photography and wakeboarding.

The Midas visits coves and bays that are uninhabited and empty, others that are ringed by small villages and others that have luxury resorts hidden away in the trees. The inflatable is available to take guests on shore, to check out the culture, and buy gifts for those back home.
