Cruise the Maldives in Unique Dhonis!

Stella I and II offer you the unique chance to surf the amazing waves of the Maldivian Atolls in traditionally styled and built Maldivian Dhonis. Constructed with local hardwood by master Maldivian craftsmen, the Stella charters offer comfortable and luxurious accommodation for groups of up to 6 persons.

With 2 ensuite cabins, Stella I and II are perfect for smaller groups, honeymooners and is amazing for family surf charters! The traditional styling really sets these apart from the crowd, and offer excellent value for money.

The Boats

Stella I and II are two uniquely designed and well present charters offering trips for up to 6 persons. Coming in at a length of 22m, the charters have been constructed from mostly locally sourced hardwood, with luxurious fittings and finishings throughout.

A departure from the usual whitewashed charters in the Maldives, Stella I and II offer an elegant and natural styling offering a unique take on luxury surfing in the atolls! With a large dining room/lounge and a beautiful sundeck to the front of the boats, these charters are perfect for honeymooners, small groups and family surf escapes!

The Surf

The Maldives is renowned worldwide for its perfect tropical surf. The Stella I and II 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!

From April – October, Stella II is stationed in the Central Atolls, so can be chartered without relocation fees!

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! Speak to our Expert Surf Travel Team about the best route for your trip.

Why We Love Stella I & II

Uniquely designed luxury charters. Stella I and II are unique and offer a very different looking charter to the usual Maldives fleet!

Stella II is already stationed in the Central Atolls during the surf season. Surf the Central Atolls without paying for the relocation of the boat!

The charters are great for romantic and intimate getaways. Perfect for Honeymooners!

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!

Awesome holiday to Hudhuranfushi. Giulia was very helpful and quick to respond and overall we were very impressed with Awave Travel.
Lohi's is a private, on site, awesome left hander that just kept giving. Also had options of 2 daily surf boat trips that went to other local breaks such as Sultans, Ninja's, Cokes, Jails. The surf team are amazing and we scored great waves the whole time we were there.
Stayed in a Sunset family beach villa which was perfect for a family of 4, then upgraded for the last 3 nights to Ocean Villas, both great for different reasons!
Island staff are so helpful and welcoming, and there's a good variety of food options available. Lots of other things to do such as paddleboarding, jet ski-ing, spa treatments, yoga and amazing snorkelling - with sharks, turtles and rays! We also hired bikes to get around and do morning surf checks!
An amazing trip, thank you Awave and Hudhuranfushi!

We had an amazing time on the Mentawai islands booked through Awave Travel.
Giulia was very helpful and available at all times during the booking process. And we had the best time on the Mentawais on the Maki Boat. The staff were amazing. Raul the surf guide was very helpful, friendly and coached us on the waves. Kaique the photographer produced top quality pictures and videos from the water, boat and drone.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend it.

We charted Seafarer for a 10 day trip in the Maldives. We booked with AWAVE about 12 months before. James was super helpful, really responsive and just easy to deal with. We even made a very last minute change to go to the central atolls which he arranged pretty much straight away. The trip itself was unreal, great surf, amazing wildlife and scenery. If you’re thinking about a surf charter, do it and book through these guys!
