Maldives: Baa Atoll & the North Charter Itinerary

Maldives: Baa Atoll & the North Itinerary

Maldives: Baa Atoll & the North Yacht Charter
A week through the northern atolls of the Maldives, from the manta gatherings of Baa Atoll to the remote, little-visited reefs of the far north. This route seeks out the healthiest coral and the quietest lagoons, with sandbanks and deserted islands between the great dive sites. Expect UNESCO reserves and resident hammerheads, private sandbanks and pristine walls, the Indian Ocean at its most unspoiled.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter reef. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

North Male Atoll

Step aboard near Male and sail north into the atolls, leaving the islands behind. Anchor off a quiet reef for a first snorkel in the warm, clear water as the light fades.

Day 5

Sandbank Picnic

Today belongs to the simplest Maldivian pleasure: a private sandbank, a curve of pure white sand rising from a turquoise lagoon with nothing else in sight. Swim, laze and lunch with the ocean all around.
