Charter a Luxury Yacht in the Maldives

The Maldives are an atoll of 1100 islands 400 miles south of India in the Indian Ocean. 202 of these are inhabited, 87 are exclusive resort islands. These islands form an amazing sailing area, with unlimited secluded anchorages and diving spots. The Maldives are very close to how one might define paradise… clear blue skies, warm turquoise sea and endless white sandy beaches. Underwater you will fine around 3000 coral reefs, and water so clear that you can see fish fifty metres away. If this sounds exciting, why not charter a luxury yacht to the Maldives and explore the waters yourself.

Diving in the Maldives is extremely popular, and it is understandable why! Take the chance to discover over one thousand species of fish and other water-dwelling creatures, from schools of colourful fish to manta rays and sharks which are all lured in to the Maldives by its monsoon tides and abundance of food. Plunging in to these warm waters will surely be an experience of a lifetime; even when you are still on your yacht it’s amazing enough to know that thousands of tropical fish are swimming just beneath you, inviting you to explore their own underwater world. You may even get to try night diving, when the coral comes to life searching for its food, as do the creatures that live within it.

If this has enticed you to charter a luxury yacht in the Maldives, how about THE SULTANS WAY 007, an Azimut 103S. She is a perfect luxury charter yacht, based in Male, and has inclusive use of scuba diving equipment; she also comes with snorkel gear if you fancyThe-luxurious-SULTANS-WAY-007-available-for-Maldives-charter exploring the shallower waters and jet skis if you feel the need for some speed. After spending the day exploring the waters, sit back and relax on board, whether dining inside or chilling on deck with a few drinks, THE SULTANS WAY 007 will provide you with an unforgettable holiday.

Chartering in the Maldives on Luxury Crewed Super Yacht CAPRI

The Maldives is one of the worlds ultimate luxury destinations, perfect for honeymooners, sun worshippers and divers. Consisting of 26 atolls, the Maldives are a series of ancient coral reefs that provide some of the best beaches and waters on earth. The way of life is simple and peaceful, allowing guests to fully relax and enjoy the bright blue skies and yearly sunshine.

Facts and Figures:

360,000 Residents
11,000 Displaced since the Tsunami
27% Live in Malé
90,000 Sq km Area
0 Shark attacks since 1976

The best time to visit Malé is from December with an average temperature of 28 degrees and the lowest precipitation levels, making Christmas the ideal time to visit. Malé is the busiest of all the atolls and the business centre of the Maldives, yet is worth a visit to get a taste for the Maldivian way of life. The numerous bars, restaurants, shops and busy markets create the same buzz that you would find in any other capital city. We would recommend the Whale Submarine for those with children, as it provides a great place to look at the reef and everything that lives below. If you are interested in diving, there are a number of great dive schools and sites just a short boat trip away.

Why not incorporate one of the worlds leading luxury destinations with the one of the worlds greatest experiences – Yachting! One of our favourite Luxury Super Yachts that is available this Christmas is CAPRI, a 58.5m Lürssen with 6 magnificent staterooms, as well as some of the best outdoor entertaining spaces on the market. Her full beam master stateroom is furnished beautifully with a combination of dark wood and cream fixtures and fittings.  The decor in the saloon is much lighter, thanks to full length windows and this minimalistic approach continues on her decks, where guests will find a large jacuzzi with plenty of sunbathing areas. If you are interested in sport, CAPRI features a fully equipped gym, including a multi gym and plenty of water toys for the whole family. She is available in the Indian Ocean this winter, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to charter her in either the Maldives or the Seychelles.

Chartering a luxury catamaran, motor or sailing yacht has never been so simple, thanks to our dedicated team of charter brokers who will help you plan the trip of a lifetime anywhere in the world. Here at Boatbookings, we pride ourselves on customer service and we will not stop until we find you the perfect yacht. There are 10 simple steps from turning a dream into a reality.

Step 1 – Most importantly, guests must decide where they would like to start their charter and what sort of yacht they would like. We offer charters from all around the world, including the United States, the Caribbean, French & Italian Riviera’s and the Far East. We have access to a vast amount of motorboats, sailboats and catamarans in each of these destinations.

Step 2 – Once you have decided where and how you want to travel, contact us. Please enquire via our website or send an email to [email protected]. Once we have received your enquiry, one of our brokers will assist you and start searching for suitable yachts.

Step 3 – We ask guests to provide the following information, so that we can gain a clearer idea of what you really want. Are you looking for a bareboat or a crewed charter? Are your dates flexible and how long would you like to charter for? Do you have a  particular budget in mind for your charter? If you are looking for a sailboat, please be aware that you must start on a Saturday for a weeks duration.

Step 4 – Once we have received this information, our brokers will then start the search for possible yachts that meet your criteria. We will then find which yachts are available for your charter dates and propose at least three options which are suitable for you to review and compare.

Step 5 – Once you have reviewed and compared the yachts that you have been sent, our broker will then arrange the charter for you. For example, you have chosen to charter M/Y MOSKING, a stunning Mangusta 108 from Antibes, France for 4 days.

Step 6 – Our broker would then reserve this for you and start preparing the charter agreement and invoice. Once all the paperwork has been signed and the invoice has been paid by either bank transfer or credit card, we can start to make some final itinerary plans.

Step 7 – Our broker will arrange all the meeting details, can arrange restaurant reservations and help to organise an itinerary. For example, guests wills depart from Antibes and spend one day cruising slowly towards Monaco, enjoying a long lunch in St Jean Cap Ferrat. Then guests could head towards Portofino and along the Italian Riviera before heading back to Antibes.

Step 8 – We will send a preference sheet to you to note down all the provisions you would like on the yacht. This can cover anything from champagne and wine, to food and flowers. All provisions will be bought before you step foot onboard and therefore ready for you to enjoy immediately.

Step 9 – The final meeting place and timings will be sent for your embarkation. You will be given the captains details for any last minute requests or discussions on itinerary.

The end to a perfect day onboard a Luxury Yacht

 

 

Step 10 – Guests will board and start their charter. The crew will do everything that they can to make sure that you have a successful charter. They will be able to arrange any emergency provisions and last minute restaurant reservations, leaving guests to relax fully and enjoy the natural beauty that is the French and Italian Riviera.

‘Luxury’ and ‘surfing’ are two words which, until now, have never gone hand in hand.

However, the typical image of surfing holidays could be about to undergo a complete transformation with the recent introduction of ‘Sultans of the Seas” brand new luxury Maldives Surf Charter Yacht.
