Maldives

Cabin | Bareboat | Skippered | Crewed

The Maldives is formed from a chain of coral islands resting on a submerged mountain ridge range off the coast of India. Here, crystal clear water, white sand beaches, amazing coves and breathtaking lagoons are home to picturesque rustic-chic villas. Popular with sailors, the Maldives offers shelter from the Indian Ocean among its countless protected, deep-water anchorages. The reefs of the islands, alive with countless underwater creatures and vibrant ocean wildlife, act as a natural barrier against the sea, in turn forming lagoons of peaceful water. This phenomenon gives the Maldives its famous calm waters and offers the possibility to build right on the water.

The Cruising Ground

Maldives Archipelago

The Maldives is an archipelago (island group) made up of about 1,190 coral islands formed around 26 natural atolls. Atolls are ring-shaped islands and in the Maldives, each atoll is made of a coral reef encircling a lagoon. The islands stretch like a luxurious jade green garland across the equatorial band. A yacht charter here allows you to experience every possible shade of aqua and turquoise along with pristine soft white sands. It is the ideal setting to snorkel, surf, dive and experience the dazzling coral gardens.
