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.
Accommodation
The Gulfaam features five cabins in total. Four are ensuite with bunk beds, and one has bunk beds with access to a shared toilet. Cabins are fan-cooled and designed for a simple, restful stay between surf sessions. The layout works perfectly for small groups or bigger groups on more of a budget. Common areas include a shaded deck, outdoor dining area, and small indoor lounge. Space to relax, share meals, or plan the next surf session. It’s a cosy, modest, and functional setup with everything you need for life on the water.
Deckplans & Technical Specifications
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.
DINING
SIMPLE, FRESH, AND ON POINT
The onboard chef prepares three daily meals using a mix of local ingredients and international staples. Expect fresh fish, hearty curries, tropical fruits, and tasty snacks between surfs. Meals are served in a relaxed setting in the covered outdoor dining area. Special dietary needs can be arranged with advance notice. After a big session or a long day exploring, sit back and enjoy some hearty meals prepared just for you.
EXPERIENCES
SURF, SNORKEL, CHILL AND REPEAT
While the focus is on surfing, there is plenty more to enjoy between sessions. Grab a snorkel and check out the coral reefs, fish with the crew, or just kick back on the deck and enjoy the views. The Gulfaam also carries a support tender, so beach visits, surf transfers, and island stops are always an option. Whether you’re surfing at sunrise or watching it set with a cold drink, the pace is yours to choose.
