Our boat charter was fantastic. We got to explore the Maldives in a unique way that most do not. Immersed in culture, meeting new friends, awesome experiences, it was almost dream like. The captain and chef were amazing. Knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and courteous. I highly recommend this to anyone even contemplating it.

Nous avons été ravi de ce dépaysement total lors de cette croisière aux Maldives.
L'équipage était au petit soin pour nous et nous avons passé de très agréable moments. La nourriture était excellente, le bateau très propre et les iles visitées paradisiaques.
Nous avons nagé avec des raies, des requins et vu de nombreux dauphins devant le bateau qui faisaient la course avec nous ; c'était magique ! Nous sommes impatients de pouvoir repartir.
