Boat Hire with Skipper in Maafushi

Choosing to rent a boat with a skipper in Maafushi will allow you to navigate the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean while enjoying the breathtaking landscapes of the atolls. You'll be on a private vessel exclusively for your group!

Description

Upon making your reservation, you can select from two distinct options. Both excursions will take you around the stunning atolls of the Maldives, including hotel pickup and drop-off, chartered boat with a skipper, snorkeling gear, and lunch.

Vaavu Atoll boat excursion

Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Maafushi at 9 am, followed by a trip to the harbor. From there, you will embark on a delightful boat ride through the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, where all you need to do is unwind and let the skipper take care of the details.

You will navigate through the pristine waters until you reach Vaavu Atoll. Upon arrival, snorkeling gear will be provided so you can swim with nurse sharks, jacks, and dolphins. Next, we will explore an area rich in corals. This atoll boasts the longest unbroken reef in the Maldives, stretching 34 miles (55 kilometers).

During the cruise, refreshing drinks will be available to cool down, along with a delightful barbecue lunch to savor.

After an enriching 6 hour and 30 minute journey across the Indian Ocean, our adventure will come to a close.

South Ari boat excursion

Following your pickup from your hotel in Maafushi, we will head to the harbor for your boat trip through the lively Indian Ocean.

Should you opt for this excursion, we will set our course for South Ari Atoll. This expansive atoll is one of the largest in the Maldives, encompassing 105 islands.

Once we reach a serene location, you will be provided with a snorkeling mask to dive into the warm waters, keeping an eye out for the majestic giant whale sharks. These incredible creatures can reach lengths of up to 46 feet (14 meters). Be on the lookout for manta rays and dolphins as well!

Are you hungry yet? You will enjoy a flavorful barbecue lunch during the excursion to refuel your energy.

Vaavu Atoll + Shipwreck boat excursion

After collecting you from your hotel in Maafushi, we will proceed to the port, ready for an exhilarating sailing adventure in the Maldives. Our first point of interest will be the Shipwreck, where you'll have the chance to snorkel around the remains of the sunken vessel Victory, which has been resting in the Malé Atoll since 1981.

Subsequently, we will continue to Vaavu Atoll, where you can snorkel alongside nurse sharks, various fish, and dolphins. We will also stop at a tranquil sandbank, an ideal spot to relax amidst the sweeping Maldivian scenery.

After enjoying a meal and creating unforgettable memories during this remarkable sailing expedition, we will return to our original departure point, concluding our six-and-a-half-hour journey.
