Why Maldives The Maldives are twenty six atolls and more than a thousand islands scattered across the Indian Ocean. A resort shows you one of them. A yacht shows you a different lagoon every day, with the freedom to follow the manta rays, the surf or simply the calmest water. Charters start in Malé, minutes from the international airport, and usually explore North and South Malé Atoll, Ari Atoll for whale sharks and Baa Atoll for the manta gatherings of Hanifaru Bay. Days are built around the water: snorkelling and diving on the reefs, picnics on a sandbank, paddle boards and jet skis in the lagoon. - Week charter yachts - Itineraries - Restaurants and anchorages - FAQ Week charters and superyachts ## Maldives week charter yachts and superyachts Navélia books crewed multi day and weekly charters in Maldives, from 20 metre crewed yachts to 100 metre flagship superyachts, drawn live from a worldwide fleet of 1,300+ vessels.

May to October brings more wind and rain showers but also the manta season in Baa Atoll and lower rates. ### Recommended Duration A week covers North and South Malé Atoll and Ari Atoll comfortably. Ten days add Baa or Vaavu Atoll. The minimum that makes sense is four to five nights. ### Marine Life Manta rays, whale sharks, reef sharks, turtles, dolphins and some of the richest coral reefs in the Indian Ocean. ### South Ari Atoll One of the few places in the world where whale sharks are seen all year, along the reef near Maamigili. ### Baa Atoll & Hanifaru Bay A UNESCO biosphere reserve where hundreds of manta rays gather to feed between June and November. ### North Malé Atoll The first lagoons after leaving Malé, with famous surf breaks, sandbanks and easy first dives. ### Vaavu Atoll Channel dives with reef sharks, a night snorkel with nurse sharks and long empty sandbanks. ### Private Sandbanks A strip of white sand in open ocean, set up by your crew for lunch or dinner with nobody else in sight.
