OUTER ATOLL YACHT CHARTERS
More serious surf adventure is offered by Outer Atoll Surfaris with trips to the Maldives’ even more remote southern atolls. This is really cruising off the map with government permits required for foreigners. From the deck of your dhoni, or aboard your private yacht, you’ll see sights few outsiders have been afforded, including almost a dozen high-quality reef point and reef pass breaks, both lefts and rights, including Beacons (right), Castaways (right), Five Islands (right), Love Charms (left), Tigers (left), Bluebowls (right), and Two Ways (left and right). These waves are generally bigger and more consistent than those in the north but due to their remoteness and southwest monsoons tours are not run from late-May through mid-August. Surf
Waterways is pleased to offer MV Manaal for our Outer Atoll Surf Charters. This 90 foot charter vessel was built in 2005 with four decks and consists of nine quality air conditioned rooms with ensuite toilet and shower each offering hot and cold water, dining area and sundecks with all timber finishes.
A surfari trip on Manaal takes a max of 12 surfers. Guests arrive in Male', the Maldives' capital, and are transferred by local flight to the outer atolls where Manaal is based for the surfing season.
Guests then spend ten or eleven days cruising the atoll and surfing the best available waves. On the last day you fly from the southern atolls back to Male' airport for your flight home.
The Manaal and crew will take you to some of the most secluded anchorages in the region. As well as the main boat, there's a dinghy and a support dhoni (the dhoni is the traditional Maldivian boat design, ideally suited for use in shallow lagoons). The support dhoni improves access to the waves and anchorages at all tides, and allows for splitting the group between breaks - sometimes two or three surfers have a break all to themselves. Dawn and evening surf time is increased as the main boat can be in a safe anchorage while the support dhoni is used for dawn and evening sessions.
