Boat Hire with Skipper in Maafushi

When you hire your boat with a skipper in Maafushi, you'll sail through the Indian Ocean on a private boat for you and your group.

Description

You can choose from two options, both covering beautiful atolls in the Maldives and including hotel pickup and drop-off, private boat hire with a skipper, snorkelling equipment, and lunch.

Vaavu Atoll boat trip

Pickup from your hotel in Maafushi is at 9 am, after which you will head to the harbour. On board, relax as the skipper navigates the waters to Vaavu Atoll. You will receive snorkelling equipment to swim with nurse sharks, jacks, and dolphins, and explore coral areas in the atoll, which features the country’s longest uninterrupted reef at 34 miles (55 kilometers). Drinks and a barbecue lunch will be provided during the 6 hours and 30 minutes cruise.

South Ari boat trip

After hotel pickup, you will head to the harbour for the boat trip to South Ari Atoll, one of the largest atolls in the Maldives, consisting of 105 islands. You will receive a snorkelling mask to search for giant whale sharks, which can grow up to 46 feet (14 meters), as well as manta rays and dolphins. A barbecue lunch will be served during the activity.

Vaavu Atoll + Shipwreck boat trip

After hotel pickup, you will go to the port, where the first stop is the Shipwreck for snorkelling at the remnants of the sunken ship Victory, in the Malé Atoll since 1981. After this, you will head to Vaavu Atoll to snorkel with nurse sharks, fish, and dolphins, and visit a sandbank for relaxation. Lunch will be provided before the return to the starting point, concluding the 6.5-hour tour.
