Outer Atoll SurfarisFor the serious surfing adventurer, Outer Atolls Surfaris explore the truly isolated southern atolls in fully equipped, live-aboard motor cruisers. |

Outer Atolls Surfing |
||
 |
The breaks in the southern atolls
work on a wider range of swell and wind conditions than those of
the Inner Atolls so an experienced Outer Atoll guide is essential. This is a remote region, and our well established emergency procedures have proved to be of vital importance in the event of serious medical issues. |
 |
 |
There are about a dozen breaks in the region, including Beacons (Right), Castaways (Right), Five Islands (Right), Love Charms (Left), Tigers (Left), Bluebowls (Right) and Two Ways (Left & Right). (Click here for more information about Maldives Surf.) |

Outer Atoll Surfari Boats |
||
 |
For Outer Atoll Surfaris we use modern cruising vessels
with comfortable cabins and an air-conditioned saloon/dining area
serving quality cuisine. Facilities include on-board video and entertainment
system, sun decks, and a fully stocked bar. This is surfing in style!
Note: Most pictures on this page are of MV Manaal which is no longer in operation. In 2009 our charters will use a brand-new vessel , GTM Cruiser, a fully air-conditioned, 28 metre motor yacht with comparable facilities - check back soon for the latest pictures. |
 |
 |
Surfari boats have a dinghy or zodiac, and are accompanied
by a support dhoni (a traditional Maldivian boat ideally suited to
shallow lagoons). The dhoni improves access to waves and anchorages
and allows the group to split between breaks - sometimes two or three
surfers have a break all to themselves. And the main boat can be in
a safe anchorage while the support dhoni allows extra dawn and evening
surf sessions. You can snorkel on unspoilt reefs and catch a fish for dinner, and see parts of the country that most tourists never experience. |
 |
 |
Fully serviced guest cabins have either bunks or double
beds. Bathrooms are immaculate, with hot and cold water showers and
environment-friendly marine toilets. Our boats have all the latest safety and comunications equipment including Marine Radar, VHF, Radio Telephone, mobile phone (most areas), GPS, desalination plant, generators, and a trained and experienced crew. |
 |
The Trips |
||
 |
A surfari trip typically takes a maximum of
12 surfers. Guests arrive in Male', the Maldives' capital, and are
transferred by local flight to the outer atolls where our boats
are based for the surfing season. |
