The Charter

SMALL PRIVATE CHARTERS MADE AFFORDABLE

The Gulfaam is a classic Maldivian surf charter designed for smaller groups looking to explore the best waves in comfort and privacy. As one of the best budget-friendly boats in the Maldives, it is the perfect choice for small groups who want a private experience without the high price tag. With trips starting from just four guests and a maximum capacity of ten, the boat is ideal for small groups of friends, couples, or families. For a true surf escape with your closest crew, the Gulfaam is waiting.

THE SURF

SMALL GROUPS, SMALL CROWDS

The Gulfaam can access all Atolls of the Maldives to give you the choice between chasing the famous name breaks or going off the beaten path. This is the best way to score the Maldives on a more modest budget. With fewer people on board and full flexibility on where to go, the Gulfaam ensures you don’t have an instant crowd and can search for the waves you want. Playful peelers, long walls, or heavier barrels, the choice is yours.
