ARIYAL

Maldives

The Charter

Spacious Modern Maldivian Charter

Ariyal is a 45-metre luxury surf charter, launched in 2024 and designed to deliver a first-class experience on the water. With the ability to cruise throughout the Maldives, from the famous breaks of North Malé to the quieter Central and Southern Atolls, Ariyal combines freedom, flexibility, and comfort. Guests enjoy a vast dining and bar area, expansive sundecks, and 13 spacious cabins. Along with the charter, you have access to an 18-meter dhoni and a separate dingy for smooth transfers into the surf, plus a jet ski available for use at an additional cost. With a professional crew and spacious design, Ariyal is an ideal choice for groups looking to experience the Maldives in style.

Accommodation

State Cabins and Ocean Suites

Ariyal features 13 air-conditioned guest cabins, each with ensuite bathrooms and modern furnishings. On the lower deck, 7 State Cabins can be configured as twin or double, while the upper decks house 6 Ocean View Suites, each with a double bed and sofa bed. Designed with comfort in mind, the cabins are spacious and well-appointed, providing the perfect place to rest after long days in the surf. Guests can also enjoy the expansive restaurant, bar, and lounge, which feel more like a resort than a boat. Multiple sun decks provide space for relaxation, whether you want to soak up the sun, read in the shade, or watch the Maldivian sunset with a drink in hand.

THE SURF

Peeling Reefs and Perfect Barrels

The Maldives is renowned for its perfect tropical surf, and Ariyal has been designed to put you in the right place at the right time. With a seasoned crew and the support of both a spacious 18-meter dhoni and tender dingy, reaching the waves is fast and effortless. Guests can choose between the iconic breaks of North Malé, the quieter and more adventurous Central and Southern Atolls. Expect a mix of peeling reefs, long walls, and heavier barrels depending on season and swell. We can add an experienced surf guide and photographer to join the charter, ensuring your group is always in the right spot at the right time.
