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!

Very professional team. Giulia is always on and have an accurate answer to all my questions. The boat trip was incredibly well organised. Nothing was missing.

Professional and Top Notch! From the moment we started planning our trip AWAVE was responsive and professional. We had a lot of back and forth picking the perfect location and resort and James and Giulia were patient and helpful. The resort we stayed at, AYADA in the Maldives, was beautiful and relaxing- great for families and couples! It was perfect for us- we have 1 surfer in the family, he was able to enjoy the waves and we also were able to enjoy the reef and snorkel as a family. Our kids loved the kids club and the private pool on the beach villas was amazing. The alcohol is expensive if you don’t do full board but that is to be expected. Wonderful vacation and amazing travel agency! Definitely recommend!!

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!
