Day by day

1. 4 hours

   Malé - Vaavu Atoll

   The first afternoon is about settling in. Champagne appears, cabins become home, and the gentle movement of the yacht replaces the rhythm of land. Swim straight from the platform, explore the coastline by tender, or simply claim your favourite spot on deck as you cruise from Malé to Vaavu Atoll. At night, experience the adrenaline of swimming with dozens of nurse sharks and stingrays near Alimathà.

2. 2 hours

   Vaavu Atoll - Meemu Atoll

   In the morning head over to Visit Fulidhoo to experience traditional Maldivian life, watch stingrays feed by the pier, and enjoy the famous local boduberu drumming. On the way over to Meemu Atoll make sure to stop at one of the deserted islands for a picnic, your crew will do the entire set up and the catch of the day is on the menu, if you are lucky. After lunch and most likely after your after-lunch nap, it is time for a bit of adrenaline. Meemu Atoll is known for its surfing. with Mulee Point, Veyvah Point or Boahuraa Point as the top three spots.

3. 4 hours

   Meemu Atoll - Thaa Atoll

   Wake up on a beach paradise in the middle of the ocean. Get all the toys out or go for a run on the beach or get the crew to set up an icebath on the beach, or grab a coconut or Maldivian Lady to enjoy from your hammock. In the afternoon whilst enjoying lunch, head over to Thaa Atoll. Giant manta, whale sharks and leatherback turtles are best spied with a mask and snorkel. Thaa is a haven for sea and surf. The warm offshore surf is ideally witnessed on a short board

4. 2.5 hours

   Thaa Atoll - Laamu Atoll

   How long should you stay? Forever is probably the right answer, but there is more to explore! Visit inhabited islands like Fonadhoo to witness traditional life, where locals still practice crafts like weaving mats, carving shells, and preparing traditional foods like Rihaakuru (fish paste) and Mas Huni. Surf the famous "Yin Yang" break, known as one of the best in the Maldives. The island is yours to explore. We can get a local guide to join you or we can organize a diving day.

5. 7 hours overnight

   Laamu Atoll - Huvadhu Atholhu

   Today can go 2 different ways. 1 - A 1 or 2-day expert-led desert island experience or 2 - a full spa day. You’ll be carving your place into the landscape with shelter built by hand, fires lit with friction, and supper speared or foraged from the surrounding jungle and reef. Or get pampered with treatments unfold overlooking endless ocean views, massages accompanied by nothing but waves and birdsong. Between spa rituals, drift between secluded beaches.

6. 2 hours

   Huvadhu Atholhu - Rhatafandhoo

   If you have made it off the desert island or out of the spa in one piece then today is a day for culture. Join local fishermen for traditional fishing excursions, a central part of the local culture. Walk through the island to see local life, artisans, and visit spots like the 3 Ruh Park. A must-visit is Coffeeology!

7. 1 hour

   Rhatafandhoo - Viligili

   Morning cruise to Viligili. Spend the day exactly as you wish. Snorkel directly from the yacht into vibrant reefs, paddle through glassy waters by kayak, or let the crew set up a private beach moment just for you. For those wanting to explore further, bicycles and jungle trails reveal quiet corners rarely seen by visitors. As evening approaches, return onboard for dinner at anchor, surrounded by complete stillness.

You definitely would not be the first that does not want to leave! Airplanes or helicopters will be arranged back to the main airport for your onward journey.

Why people love it

• The world’s greatest natural aquarium. Nowhere does yacht cruising feel so seamlessly connected to the ocean. The Maldives is built on coral atolls rather than land, meaning the real destination lies beneath the surface. Swim with nurse sharks under the stars in Vaavu, drift alongside manta rays in Thaa, or watch dolphins escort the yacht between atolls. Every anchorage feels alive, turning simple swims into extraordinary encounters.
• A journey through water, not land. Unlike traditional cruising grounds, the Maldives unfolds as a continuous passage through lagoons, channels, and open ocean. One day brings local island life and boduberu drums, the next perfect surf breaks, deserted sandbanks prepared solely for you, or a wellness reset in complete isolation.
