How much does it cost to hire a boat in Maldives?

The cost of hiring a boat in the Maldives is difficult to determine as it depends on the size and type of boat. One of the most popular boat types is the catamarans. If you are planning to charter a yacht expect to pay around 500€/day for a catamaran. 

 

Boat availability in Maldives 

The availability of boats depends on when you visit. It is highly advised to avoid the monsoon period which is from May to October. During this period there is a high chance of rain on the islands. However, the best months to visit the Maldives falls between November and April. Due to the popularity of the Maldives we highly suggest to book months in advance if you’d like to charter a yacht. 

Do I need a licence to charter a yacht in Maldives?

If you plan to charter a yacht in the Maldives you should have a valid boating license or sufficient experience in driving a boat. If you rent a boat in the Maldives there is an option to rent with a skipper. You can have a relaxing holiday by having a skipper as they are locals and have enough knowledge about the area. 

 

Overview of Maldives

The Maldives consists of more than a 1000 islands located on the Indian Ocean. The unique landscape and the special features of the islands attracts thousands of visitors each year. The globally well known white sandy beaches, the shallow and crystal clear waters and the unique wildlife makes this country a bucket list destination. You can explore special fishes and corals that make it wonderful to snorkel there. 

Even though the Maldives is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations, due to the high variety of resorts available. However, it became a must-see destination for sailors too! Given the possibility to discover uninhabited islands with unspoilt nature, it is no surprise that it receives tons of visitors. 

 

Malé is the capital and the most populous city of the Maldives. Given the fact that the majority of the tourists arrive here, you should visit the city before departing to other islands. Malé has the biggest port in the country, so this can be an ideal starting point for your sailing holiday. Depending on the resort you choose, the sailing itinerary you plan and the length of your holiday, there is no wrong choice in which island you visit. All of them offer something very extraordinary that can’t be seen anywhere else in the world. 

Let’s not forget that in all circumstances, we should protect the distinctive environment of the Maldives. The rich marine life, unique coral structures should be respected during sailing and during any water activity. 

Practical information about sailing in Maldives

The easiest way to reach the Maldives is to fly to the Velana International Airport that is the main international airport. It is located on Hulhulé island, nearby the capital of Malé. Depending on which island in your final holiday destination, there is an option to take a boat or a hydroplane to continue your journey. Much like the Maldives, there are other locations that are very similar. For example, a yacht charter in Thailand is a perfect alternative for the perfect scenery. Alternatively, a catamaran charter in Seychelles would be a dream trip like the Maldives. For another exotic trip, rent a boat in Madagascar
