Food Onboard a Surf Charter: What to Expect?

Embarking on a surf charter isn’t just about the waves; it’s also a unique social journey, usually centered around meal times. All of the Surf Charters that AWAVE Travel offers take great pride in the food served. Onboard our partner surf charters, the dining experience is designed to complement your adventure, providing nourishment that energizes you for the surf and soothes you as you unwind.

On the more luxurious charters, menus are thoughtfully curated to offer a taste of the local cuisine. Where possible, making use of the freshest ingredients sourced directly from the local seas and shores. We believe that the local flavours enhance your connection to the destinations we visit, creating a more immersive experience.

Onboard the more affordable charter, you will always be well-fed, with large portions and quality ingredients.

Regardless of your dietary needs or preferences, the chefs on board are equipped to ensure that every meal is not just fulfilling but also a moment to cherish. Just make sure to let one of AWAVE Travel’s team know when booking! As you sail from one surf spot to another, dining onboard can be an adventure in itself!

Fresh and Local: Sourcing Ingredients from the Sea and Shore

We take immense pride in partnering with quality surf charters. These serve up the freshest, most delicious meals for our surf travelers! Each surf region offers its own unique bounty, allowing the onboard chefs to bring local flavours into every dish we serve. Where possible, the freshest local ingredients are used. This practice enriches your dining experience, providing not just nourishment but a genuine connection to the sea and shore.

This approach helps maintain our partner charters’ commitment to sustainability. Utilizing fresh, local ingredients means reduced food miles, less refrigeration, and fewer preservatives. It’s all part of how we contribute to conservation while simultaneously giving you a taste of the best each region has to offer. From the crisp, salty taste of just-caught fish to the rich, earthy flavours of locally grown vegetables, dining with us is a palate-pleasing journey as much as it is a surf adventure.

Special Dietary Requests: How Our Partner Charters Accommodate Every Guest

Understanding and catering to the dietary needs of all the guests is a priority that we hold dear. We believe that everyone should have good quality meals, regardless of dietary restrictions or preferences. To ensure this, we start by gathering detailed dietary requirements from each guest before they board. Whether dealing with allergies, veganism, gluten-free preferences, or any other special dietary needs, the chefs are trained to prepare meals that are not only safe but also tantalizingly delicious.

To accomplish this, the menus are designed to be versatile, incorporating elements that can be modified while still maintaining the integrity of every dish. AWAVE Travel’s proactive communication with guests about their diets ensures everyone onboard is well served.

Meal Times Onboard: As Important as the Waves!

Dining onboard a charter is more than just consuming food; it is a central part of the overall experience, time to discuss waves, bails, barrels and more. Meals are communal times where stories of the day’s adventures weave through the conversations, and new friendships are forged over shared plates. All charters have communal dining areas and are designed to encourage interaction, set against backdrops of stunning ocean views that make each meal memorable.

Certain charters offer special meals, like beach barbecues and buffet-style dinners, where guests can help themselves to a variety of dishes, try a little bit of everything, and revel in the communal joy of dining. This setting not only enhances the social atmosphere but also enriches the cultural experience as guests from around the world share their own stories and cultures. Through these meals, the guests come together, united by the universal languages of good food and thrilling surf.

As each day ends with a satisfied palate and a heart full of ocean memories, we invite you to embrace this beautiful symphony of tastes and waves with us at AWAVE Travel. With expertly designed surf trips, culinary delights tailored to all tastes, and the endless blue as your companion, why wait to make these dream surf vacations a reality?

Embark on an adventure with us and let every meal and every wave in the Maldives surf charter carve unforgettable moments in your life. Book your reservation with AWAVE Travel today and transform your surfing dreams into cherished memories.

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).

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.
