In detail:

This exclusive cruise takes you to two of the Maldives' most remote and untouched atolls: Vaavu and Meemu. Vaavu’s eastern side is a favorite among cruising boats year-round, and it's easy to see why. The short stretches of open ocean between Vaavu and Malé make for smooth sailing through any monsoon season, while effortless navigation ensures a stress-free journey. The diving and snorkeling here are some of the best in the entire archipelago, with vibrant coral reefs and rich marine life. With only two resorts on Vaavu, you’ll enjoy a peaceful, crowd-free experience. The eastern tip of the atoll is renowned for its abundant fish populations, particularly during the dry monsoon, rivaling any spot in the Maldives. The two atolls are separated by just under 10 miles of water, known as Vattaru Kandu, making this cruise an unforgettable exploration of paradise.

Diving & fishing:

Dive into the crystal-clear waters around Alimatha and the eastern side of Vaavu Atoll, where the promise of manta rays during the wet monsoon and pelagic fish year-round awaits. Myaru Kandu, the Myaru Kandu Marine Reserve, and the Foththeyo Pass are must-visit spots for seasoned divers, offering thrilling underwater adventures. The outer reef at Foththeyo Falhu, particularly from December to April, is renowned for its remarkable fish abundance, rivaling the best dive sites in the Maldives. For divers visiting during the dry monsoon, Dhiggiri Point and the stretch between Rakeedhoo and Fussaru Falhu also offer vibrant marine life and excellent visibility. Meemu Atoll, with its narrow passes and expansive, uninterrupted coral reefs, is a prime location for large pelagic fish, making it a favorite among both divers and fishermen, especially during the dry monsoon. Among the top dive sites in the Maldives are Mulak Kandu and Gaahuraa Kandu, both offering extraordinary underwater landscapes. Mulak Kandu is famous for its diverse pelagic fish population around the entrance, while its western corner is adorned with a series of caves and coral blocks, decorated with soft corals and sea fans. The sandy seabed here creates an ethereal light, perfect for underwater photographers. Gaahuraa Kandu features a series of caves and vibrant saffron-colored soft corals and sea fans, making it a spectacular sight. This pass is also known for its high concentration of grey sharks, especially when the current sweeps through the channel. An unforgettable dive experience, full of life and color, awaits in these pristine waters.
