Maldives Yacht Charter

Turquoise lagoons and pearl-white sandy beaches dominate garlands of dreamy coral atolls in the heart of the Indian Ocean; it is no wonder the Maldives are fast becoming one of the most sought-after yacht charter destinations on the planet. Explore a remote world where island coral reefs form natural barriers against the sea, yielding intensely tranquil waters with outstanding visibility, perfect for showcasing the kaleidoscopic array of underwater marine life and ecology.

Yacht charters usually commence in the North Malé Atoll, where the colorful and vibrant Maldivian capital of Malé is situated. With its central location, international airport and small yacht marina, it makes this spot the ideal gateway to the Maldives. 

Explore Malé Atoll’s divine palm-fringed reefs and luxurious resorts, before heading north through the Hukurudhoo Uthuru Kandu channel to Ari Atoll, where you will find rich coral reefs abundant with colorful reef fish, as well as huge shoals of manta rays and barracudas.

Marinas

The newly developed Crossroads Marina Maldives is part of a multi-island integrated leisure complex, situated on the stunning Kaafu Atoll on the Emboodhoo lagoon – just a 15-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport, and a short hop to the capital of Malé

This deluxe marina caters to yachts of up to 50m (164ft) and also boasts its own 800-meter beach. Its two linked island resorts, Saii Maldives Lagoon and Hard Rock Hotel, offer fantastic retail therapy, spas and wellness centers as well as exquisite dining options.

A number of other resorts in the Maldives have their own marinas, although they tend to have their own boats which are made available to guests staying at their hotels.

The Maldives is a developing yachting hub, with current plans for more marinas in the pipeline, including in the capital Malé and Dhonakhuli Island in the north.

Anchorages

There are a vast amount of extraordinarily breathtaking and diverse anchorages for you to choose from, peppered throughout its myriad saltwater lagoons and oceans that surround the palm-fringed reefs.

The most spectacular anchorages can be found around the Ari, Kaafu and North Male Atolls in the central region, as well as at Baa and Raa Atolls in the North. To the south, you will find plenty of good anchorages on Thaa and Addu Atolls

So, relax, unwind and soak up the blissful paradise because this yacht charter promises to be out of this world. Dive into the inviting turquoise-blue waters and glide among colorful shoals of fish and exquisite coral islands – just don't forget your snorkel!

Local Insight

  • The Baa Atoll is a UNESCO Biosphere reserve and a popular hotspot for visitors wanting to see the shoals of manta rays and whale sharks. For this reason, the area is strictly regulated and there is an 80-person capacity at any time. Therefore, it is essential to book ahead to ensure you don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
  • Have plenty of cash to hand as the only ATMs are in Malé. Although the Maldives has its own currency, US dollars are widely accepted.
  • Some anchorages are in fairly deep water, which may be an issue for yachts with a smaller anchor chain. Plus, access to the lagoons through the coral reefs that fringe the atolls can sometimes prove problematic. This has been remedied in places where parts of the outer reef have been blasted away to facilitate access.
  • Some of the best anchorages are based around the island resorts, but you should be mindful they will likely charge a fee to anchor or land your yacht at their resorts.
  • Please note that the tap water is not drinkable in the Maldives, so bear that in mind if you plan to venture ashore.
  • Be sure to respect the Muslim culture in the Maldives by adhering to their dress codes, especially around the towns and cities.
  • Alcohol is prohibited in the Maldives, with the exception of the resorts.

Most Popular Superyacht Hotspots in Maldives:

Another must-see is the eco Soneva Fushi resort where you can discover the art of glass-blowing, or enjoy stargazing from the observatory.

    With its proximity to the equator, the Maldives enjoys year-round balmy temperatures. The best time to visit is in the dry season which occurs during the Northeast Monsoon between November and April, coinciding neatly with the Northern Hemisphere winter. 

  • Q.
    What do I need to consider before booking a Maldives Yacht Charter?
    A.

    Here are some things to consider;

    • The northern Baa Atoll (UNESCO Biosphere reserve) –  the area is strictly regulated with an 80-person capacity at any time. Therefore, it is essential to book ahead to ensure you don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
    • Some deep anchorages, plus shallow access to some of the reefs can prove problematic. 
    • Some of the best anchorages are based around the island resorts, but you should be mindful they will likely charge a fee to anchor or land your yacht at their resorts.
    • Please note that the tap water is not drinkable in the Maldives, so bear that in mind if you plan to venture ashore.
    • Be sure to respect the Muslim culture in the Maldives by adhering to their dress codes, especially around the towns and cities.
    • Alcohol is prohibited in the Maldives, with the exception of the resorts.
