EXCELLENT Based on 219 reviews Posted on Google Matt CramTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely best surf trip of my life. Owners are super organized, communicative, reasonable, and just have everything so dialed in. The surf guide Yeaman and surf coach Mitch were extremely helpful, stoked, enthusiastic, smart, and just fun to hangout with. They will get you in the best waves and improve your surfing guaranteed. Look forward to another trip soon.Posted on Google Shawn CarrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Phenomenal trip. Scored pumping surf with such a great crew and Captain kudalali. Surf guide Yaman and surf coach Mitch are amazing humans who made our trip a 10/10.Posted on Google Christopher HandronTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just finished a Southern Atolls level 3/4 trip with Renegade. I have been surfing for 25 years and this was the best surf trip I have ever been on. We scored 10 days of pumping waves. I surfed every day 2-3 times per day. The majority of sessions were just our crew. I even found myself surfing alone at times. The food was excellent and a lot of it. Our guide Yaman was totally on it with conditions and dodging other boats. He basically knew everyone in the area. Surf coach Mitch who rips and genuinely is a great guy gave professional feedback everyday along with tons of photos and footage. Everyone with Renegade is really upbeat and positive so the vibe on the boat is great. We planned this over a year out and every communication was timely and detailed. I highly recommend would definitely do it again!Posted on Google BenjaminTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Authentic, best surf guides and coaches. These guys really know how to run surf trips in remote locations. Even when conditions weren’t pumping these guys still got us to the best spots regardless of the conditions we were always with the waves. Nice boat and crew was exceptional. Food incredible.Posted on Google Ryan STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Renegade delivered an outstanding surf coaching experience in the Southern Atolls of the Maldives—far exceeding my expectations. If you’re looking for a trip focused on real surfing progression, this is it. The Maldives offers incredible waves that truly help you improve. Simon, Dale, and the entire Renegade team provided exceptional customer service from start to finish. The combination of expert coaching, a well-run boat trip, and high-quality video and photo analysis made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be booking with Renegade again for future trips. If you’re considering a surf-focused boat trip in the Maldives, do yourself a favor and book with Renegade.Posted on Google p tTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took a trip with Renegade to the Maldivian Southern Atolls in March’24 and I was left mind blown – this must have been the best surf trip I’ve ever been on. If there would have been capacity on the trip after the one I’ve been on, I’d would have simply extended my stay onboard as it was ridiculously good. Admin and communication before booking and the booking process itself has been super easy – Renegade has been very helpful in clarifying questions around surfing levels and expectations. The real deal though was once we arrived “down south”: the boat, crew and food were amazing and beyond expectations. I especially loved the nice variety in food, which was the fuel for 3-4 surf sessions per day – yes, up to 4 sessions a day if you were frothing hard! Beth and Nic were incredible hosts, the theory was excellent and the daily video analysis was superb to improve everyone’s surfing. The group was super inclusive, which created a nice welcoming environment and as well as new friendships across the globe Ultimately it is all about the surf and this was always the first priority. We were able to surf up to 4 times a day and scored incredible waves (a good amount of times with no one else around). I can highly recommend taking a trip with Renegade and will certainly be back next year. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update 2025: I went back a year later and can only repeat my previous feedback. Best surf trip you can be on and absolutely surfed out. ——————————————————————————— Update 2026: literally just returned from my third trip in a row and already pencilled in the 4th for 2027 - guess that says enough!Posted on Google Francis ClaytonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently went on my second Southern Atolls trip having originally come across Renegade’s promotional video on You Tube, the attraction being a max of 8 surfing guests, catering for solo travellers and coaching/filming. Having been on 3 previous trips with a different company to both the North and Central Atolls this one was certainly one of the better ones. Likes: Excellent pre trip communication and ongoing updates on the days’ activities provided by the coaches. Comfortable boat which is well laid out however it’s not a gin palace so don’t expect one. Brilliant coaching and photography/filming provided by the team which on this trip was Simon, Mitch and Yarmin. Group analysis of each surfers waves for the day with tips etc on how to position, gain speed, turn etc Followed by a post trip assessment and pointers for the future. Harmon, our local surf guide communicated with the other surf boats to ensure that there was not a free for all at spots when boats congregated on one spot because of conditions etc. Choice of both rights and lefts and following some coaching tips the latter became much more enjoyable for me. Excellent food with a lot of variation and some surprises as well. Great fishing, . Opportunity to explore islands and snorkel. Dislikes: 4 flights to get there from my part of the World on planes full of screaming babies and noisy kids. Expensive beer however it was chilled nicely. The surf will vary from the promotional material in that it might be smaller or more choppy. Promotional videos understandably only show the best waves and conditions. In summary I highly recommend Renegade and I’ve already expressed an interest for another Southern Atoll trip next year.Posted on Google Andrew RileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible surf boat trip with the right combination of an expert local guide to ensure we mainly surfed empty perfect waves in optimal conditions and the on-board coach to constructively improve your surfing whatever your level to ensure you leave the trip a better surfer then the one you arrived as. Si and Dale ensure the trip is amazing for everyone and this focus on everyone having a great time is their USP. Cannot recommend enough- amazing trips, amazing coaching and amazing tripsPosted on Google Bowen BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first real coaching experience, and it was amazing. Coach nick, our surf guide Edam, and organizer Beth were all awesome. I would definitely come back for another renegade experience!Posted on Google Franzi GruberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Surftrip of a lifetime! Perfect glassy waves, stunning scenery, cosy boat, delicious food and a group of strangers that felt like friends from the very first second to share it with. And all of this topped by world class coaching - never thought I could improve that much in just 10 days (thank you, Nic)! Wasn‘t my first trip with Renegade, and will certainly not be my last…Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
