Cruising through the islands from atoll to atoll in a yacht or in a yacht-dhoni - specially converted Maldivian vessel-can be a most exhilarating holiday experience. In the Maldives, it is not unusual for schools of dolphins to play around your boat or to see hundreds of flying fish taking flight as the boat passes by.
During your voyage of discovery, you are at liberty to choose from variety of activities including diving, with a cool refreshing kurumba -coconut - as the azure sea unfolds more of the islands and coral reefs of the Maldives. Of course, the facilities available will depend on the boat of your choice.
Most of the cruisers will use the central atolls of Fadippolu, north and South Male, Ari and Felidu where services for tourists are more readily available. These atolls also have some of the best diving and surfing spots in the Maldives.
The crew of the boat is generally well versed in their trade. The resident cook can serve, among other dishes, delicious tuna steaks accompanied by fresh vegetables and tropical fruits. The setting is complemented by the starry sky above and the soft rhythm of gentle waves on the hull of the boat. This is the timeless setting. The Maldives beckons visitors for this delightful journey through time.
