Cruise through the islands of North and South Male' Atolls on modern motor yachts like MV Sunset Queen. Surf all the breaks, go fishing and snorkelling on isolated reefs, and visit village islands and resorts.

Many surfers enjoy the feeling of freedom on a live-aboard boat surfari. Waves like Chickens and Colas are some distance from the resorts, so boat-based surfers will be there before the resort boats arrive, and can surf there until late afternoon.

In the evening your boat can stop at a resort, so you can enjoy drinks at a bar, a disco night or a cultural show. Surfari trips are great for fishing too, and your catch can be cooked fresh for dinner.

An Inner Atoll Surfari is also the best option for surfing South Male' Atoll. Approximately 3 hours cruising from the resorts of North Male' Atoll, the South Male' Atoll breaks are usually smaller, but are less visited and a good alternative when the swell is up.

Inner Atoll Surfari charters are arranged on a group basis only. Guests are met on arrival at the Maldives international airport, and join their Surfari vessel, which is fully stocked and equipped for the trip. Then the group is free to make its own itinerary in conjunction with the skipper and surf guide, deciding where to go and which breaks to surf every day. .
