Surf the Remote Southern Atolls with Maavahi

Maavahi is an excellent charter operating in the remote Southern Atolls. Offering shared and private charters for single travelers and groups, Maavahi is an excellent value surf charter for those wanting to experience more remote surf!

Catering for up to 12 surfers across 6 guest cabins, Maavahi is a well-run charter, managed by an experienced team. Jump on board and enjoy perfect, tropical surf with Maavahi!

The Boat

The Maavahi is an 85ft long and 27ft wide traditional Maldivian charter. The boat’s size makes it perfect for navigating the tight and shallow reef passes that frequent the Maldives archipelago.

The living areas are spread across three decks with seven beautiful, well-furnished air-conditioned ensuite cabins. The charter has indoor and outdoor dining areas with space for 12 persons.

Maavahi is a specialized charter with a shallow hull, meaning it can anchor very close to the break. It has a centre console speedboat and a tender servicing the boat. This is a great size and excellent value-for-money surf charter for solo travelers and groups!

The Surf

The Maavahi is always located in the remote Southern Atolls for the surf season of February – November. As the region has very few surf camps, charters, and resorts, you’ll usually find the quietest surf in the Maldives here!

There are waves for all levels and tastes in the area. Blue Bowls, a well-shaped right-hand reef, that holds most sizes and can deal with SW winds. Love Charms, a long left-hander, that can break for up to 200m on a good day. Tiger Stripes, a beautiful left-hander that breaks quickly on a shallow reef with Antiques, an intermediate-friendly right-hander that breaks across the channel.

There are more spots to be left un-named but trust us, you’ll love the waves here!

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 Maldives’ 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).

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.
