Excellent Value Luxury Charter

The Carpe Diem is an excellent value luxury charter that can cater to up to 20 persons. With 10 cabins, spread across 3 spacious decks, this is the perfect charter to explore the Maldives.

Coming with a dhoni (extra boat) as standard, the Carpe Diem is ideal for groups of friends and families looking to chase perfect waves!

The Boat

First launched in 2008, the Carpe Diem has been impressing clients with its luxury and comfort since first setting sail. The charter is set over 3 spacious decks with a massive sun deck for sunbathing!

Coming in at 35m in length the Carpe Diem offers a total of 10 ensuite guest cabins, ensuring there is loads of space for even the largest of groups. The dining area is well sized even with a full charter. Many of the crew have been onboard for years, making this charter feel like a ‘home away from home’.

The Surf

The Maldives is renowned worldwide for its perfect tropical surf. The Carpe Diem can be chartered to any area in the Maldives and we can arrange all possible routes. These vary greatly on the season, so we will always get you to the best area!

North Male offers the most famous waves in the Maldives and is the classic surf area. For those seeking more adventure and less crowded waves, then we would recommend the Central and Southern Atolls. These more remote regions are generally quieter with amazing waves on offer!

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Carlotta at Awave travel was outstanding in organising everything and getting us the best deal,we are already looking at next year returning and will be sure to be booking with Carlotta and Awave again! Club Med Kani is outstanding for everything, Surf spot in island is Ninjas,easy paddle from shore! Food,drinks,staff,surf guides,brilliant!!! Accommodation excellent!! Tons of activities on island to enjoy, not just the surf!! Sailing, snorkelling, paddle boards, just to name some!

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
