Skip the crowded shared boats and the long airport wait. Arrive privately — to your resort, a local island, a city hotel or a liveaboard — on your own schedule, even after dark.
Shared resort boats wait for other flights — sometimes for hours. A private transfer leaves when you land.
Seaplanes only fly in daylight, so late arrivals are often stranded overnight in Malé. By boat, we can run after dark to any boat-accessible island.
Your party alone aboard a clean, fast, air-conditioned vessel — no strangers, no stops, no compromise.
A representative greets you at the Velana arrivals hall and walks you straight to your boat.
Velana International Airport (MLE), just off Malé, is the hub. Where a private boat makes sense depends on distance — here's the honest picture.
Private arrival to many resorts in the near atolls. Some resorts require their own transfers, so we confirm a resort permits private arrival before booking — no surprises.
Direct, flexible private transfers to local islands and guesthouses — straightforward and unrestricted.
Quick private hops to city hotels for overnight stops or early connections.
Airport-to-vessel transfers to join a liveaboard or private yacht at anchor.
North & South Malé (Kaafu) are roughly 20–90 minutes by speedboat — ideal private-transfer territory.
Distant atolls (Baa, Ari and beyond) are seaplane or domestic-flight territory; we coordinate the boat legs or reposition a yacht where it makes sense.
Indicative 2026 rates. We match the vessel to your resort's distance, group size and the experience you want, and send a fixed quote.
Fast, air-conditioned and direct. Ideal for the near atolls and city transfers.

Often, yes — especially for local islands, guesthouses, Malé and Hulhumalé hotels, liveaboards and yachts. Some resorts require guests to use their own arranged transfers, so for resort drop-offs we confirm the resort permits private arrival before booking.
Yes, to any boat-accessible island. Seaplanes only operate in daylight, roughly 6am to 6pm, so late arrivals to seaplane resorts are often forced to overnight in Malé. A private speedboat or yacht can run after dark and avoid that.
Private speedboats typically run from around USD 150–300 per hour, with the total depending on distance from Malé and group size. We send a fixed quote once we know your destination and arrival time.
Yes. Independent private transfers to local islands, guesthouses and city hotels are straightforward and a core part of what we do, with flexible timing to suit your flight.
