The Charter
TRADITIONAL MALDIVIAN CHARM
Kethi is a traditional 22-metre Maldivian wooden yacht, fully renovated in 2022 blending its timeless character with new modern comforts. Designed for groups of up to 12 guests, but with charters starting from just 6, the Kethi is a perfect vessel for small private charters in any region of the Maldives. With an experienced crew and the freedom to cruise wherever the waves are best, the Kethi gives you the chance to score the best waves without the crowds.
Accommodation
COMFORT MEETS TRADITION
The traditional timber styling mixed with some more modern comforts creates the perfect small private surf boat for your next adventure. Kethi features six air-conditioned cabins all with en-suite bathrooms, 2 slightly larger cabins with a Double Bed and Bunk Bed, then 4 Cabins with single beds and bunk beds. This boat is ideal for friends, families, or small surf crews. Shared areas include shaded lounges and open-air decks, offering plenty of room to relax after a long session in the sun and sea.

EXPERIENCES

Beyond the waves, Kethi offers a wide range of activities to make the most of your time in the Maldives. Snorkel the colourful coral reefs, visit deserted sandbanks, fish with the crew, or we can even arrange for diving onboard.
