Explore the Maldives in a Small Group

The Gahaa is a great small/medium-sized charter option for groups of friends and families. With the option to charter with just 4 persons, the Gahaa is perfect for smaller groups that want to explore the Maldives without bringing a crowd.

With space for up to 8 guests, the Gahaa is renowned for being simple, reliable and affordable. Gahaa is very similar to its sister vessel, the Gulfaam.

The Boat

The Gahaa is a well-sized charter for up to 8 persons. Operated by one of the most experienced and reliable operators in the Maldives. Gahaa is a simple and comfortable boat, that just works!

With 4 cabins that comfortably sleep up to 8 persons, the Gahaa is perfectly sized for smaller groups of friends. Up on deck is a comfortable dining area to the rear of the boat, with a saloon and chill out area to the front.

Park up and watch the waves from the sun deck or sink a cold beer up there as the sun goes down. The Gahaa is a great option for an affordable charter for your trip!

The Surf

The Maldives is renowned worldwide for its perfect tropical surf. The Gahaa 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!

Accommodation

The Gahaa has a total of 4 cabins, 3 ensuite cabins with bunk beds, and 1 normal cabin with bunk beds. Each cabin is well ventilated with fans assisting with the airflow. The Gahaa is non-AC but stays cool and is very comfortable at night. All but 1 of the cabins are ensuite with showers.

The communal areas are on the top deck encompassing a saloon and dining area for up to 8 people. In addition to this, there is an ample sized sun deck on the roof to relax and watch the waves and sunsets from!

Food

For us, there is nothing more important on a surf charter than the fuel for the waves! The Gahaa serves up 3 hearty meals a day with snacks in between. The dishes are a mix of Western and Maldivian. Portions are always sized for hungry surfers, so everyone will be happy!

The fishing in the Maldives is amazing and the chefs are always happy to cook up the day’s catch for you!

Alcohol is available onboard for an extra charge, so you can enjoy a cold beer at the end of a long day in the water!

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!
