Classic Small Charter Option

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

With space for up to 10 guests, the Gulfaam is renowned for being simple, reliable and affordable. These make it one of our most popular charters!

The Boat

The Gulfaam is a well sized charter for up to 10 persons. Operated by on of the most experienced and reliable operators in the Maldives, the Gulfaam has become a firm favourite with our travellers!

With 5 cabins that comfortably sleep up to 10 persons, the Gulfaam is perfect 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 Gulfaam is a great option for an affordable charter for your trip!

The Surf

The Maldives is renowned worldwide for its perfect tropical surf. The Gulfaam 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 Gulfaam has a total of 5 cabins, 2 cabins with single bunk beds and 3 cabins with double bunk beds. Each cabin is well ventilated with fans assisting with the airflow. The Gulfaam is non-AC but stays cool and is very comfortable at night. All Cabins are ensuite with showers.

The communal areas are on the top deck encompassing a saloon and dining area for up to 10 people. In addition to this, there is 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 Gulfaam 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!

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!
