Port guide
Hulhumale — at a glance
24 boats are available to book in Hulhumale from Hulhumale. Built 2004–2021, 30–36 m long, 1–11 cabins, up to 25 guests. Day rates start from €635; the typical boat here is around €712 per day, and every price on this page is the boat’s own listed rate before extras.
Hulhumalé is the reclaimed island next to Malé airport, and the boats listed here are the crewed catamarans, motor yachts and safari boats that cruise the Maldivian atolls from its harbour: skippered or fully crewed weeks through the North and South Malé atolls, Ari atoll and the reefs between, with diving, surf and sandbank stops. Nothing is bareboat in the Maldives.
Getting there
By air. Velana International Airport (MLE) is on Hulhulé, joined to Hulhumalé by road — five to ten minutes by taxi; direct flights from Europe, the Gulf and Asia.
Hulhumale before you cast off
Malé, the capital, is ten minutes across the bridge — the fish market, the old Friday mosque and the crowded streets of the smallest capital in Asia; the atolls are the trip.
Meals are included on the crewed boats; Hulhumalé has shops and restaurants for the night before.
