The Charter
Traditional Charm with Modern Comfort
Dhoni Stella I and II are luxury wooden yachts that blend the feel of a traditional Maldivian fishing boat with all the comfort of a private liveaboard. Perfect for couples, families, or small groups of friends, each yacht can host up to six guests in an intimate and fully private setting. At 21 metres in length, the boats provide plenty of space without losing their classic charm. Each trip is tailor-made to your preferences, whether it is surfing, diving, island-hopping, or simply relaxing at sea. With a dedicated crew looking after every detail, both Dhoni Stella's offer the freedom to explore the Maldives at your own pace with unmatched privacy and flexibility.
Accommodation
Both yachts feature two air-conditioned cabins with ensuite bathrooms, tastefully decorated in a warm and traditional style that complements the wooden hull and handcrafted interiors. A spacious indoor salon provides an inviting area for dining or relaxing, while the outdoor deck is perfect for enjoying the sea breeze and taking in the views of turquoise lagoons and starry skies. Designed for privacy, they allow couples or families to have the entire vessel to themselves, ensuring a personalised and exclusive experience that feels like a floating villa on the water. Dhoni Stella I is best for smaller groups of up to four guests, while Dhoni Stella II can comfortably host up to six.

THE SURF
Mellow Reefs to Perfect Barrels
Dhoni Stella I and II are ideal for surfers who want freedom and flexibility. With the ability to charter throughout the Maldives, you can chase the best conditions based on season, swell, and your preferences. From the famous waves of North Malé to the quieter Central Atolls, a smaller group size ensures there are no instant crowds, meaning more waves and a truly private experience. Whether you are after mellow reef passes or hollow barrels, the Dhoni Stella yachts can deliver.
DINING
Gourmet Meals at Sea
Onboard dining is a highlight of the Dhoni Stella experience. Each yacht is equipped with a professional chef who prepares three daily meals using fresh Maldivian ingredients and international flavours. Guests can dine in the indoor salon or out on deck with ocean views. From freshly caught seafood to fine meats and vegetarian options, every meal is tailored to your preferences. Snacks and drinks are always available to keep energy levels high between surf sessions or excursions. With a dedicated team focused on service, dining aboard each Dhoni Stella combines the ease of home cooking with the quality of a fine restaurant.
EXPERIENCES
Beyond the Waves
Life onboard the Dhoni Stella's is designed to be as flexible or adventurous as you wish. After surfing, days can be spent fishing or exploring remote sandbanks and uninhabited islands. Snorkelling in crystal-clear lagoons reveals colourful coral gardens and abundant marine life, while island-hopping offers a glimpse into Maldivian culture and local communities. Guests also have the option to dive, with access to some of the Maldives’ most spectacular underwater sites. With a dedicated, experienced crew and fully tailored itineraries, every experience onboard the Dhoni Stella 1 & 2 is unique and memorable.
