The fastest way onto the water. Reach reefs, sandbanks, dolphins and resorts in minutes, not hours — and fit far more into a single, flexible day. Hire by the hour, half-day or full day.
A speedboat's pace means you're not choosing between the sandbank and the reef — you can have both, and the sunset too.
Skip across to a private sandbank, then on to the best snorkelling reefs nearby.
Chase the golden hour to a spinner-dolphin pod and ride home under a burning sky.
Lunch at one island, cocktails at another — covered in minutes, not a long slow cruise.
Indicative 2026 rates. The total depends on distance, group size and inclusions — we send a fixed quote.
Ideal for a short hop — a sandbank run, a reef, a quick dolphin search.
Enough for two or three stops — snorkel, sandbank and a swim.
Sandbank, reefs, dolphins, lunch and sunset — the complete day on the water.
Minutes between stops instead of a slow cruise — so a single day holds far more.
A shallow draft slips up to reefs and sandbanks larger yachts simply can't reach.
The most affordable way to have a crewed boat entirely to yourselves.
Change the plan mid-day — another reef, a longer lunch, one more swim.
Every day is shaped around you. Here's one way a full-day speedboat charter from North Malé Atoll might look.
The speedboat meets you at your resort jetty. Cold drinks, towels and snorkelling gear are on board. The captain confirms the day's route based on tides, weather and what you want most.
A short ride to a pristine coral reef — often a house reef of an uninhabited island. Turtles, rays and schools of colourful reef fish in crystal-clear water. Snorkel at your own pace while the crew stays close.
The boat pulls up to an empty sandbank. Shade, drinks and time to swim, sunbathe or simply sit on white sand surrounded by turquoise. The crew sets up while you relax.
A quick hop to a nearby resort island for lunch at a waterfront restaurant. The speedboat waits at the jetty — take as long as you like over the meal.
Afternoon snorkel at a different reef, or cruise to a local island for a walk. The speedboat's pace means you're not choosing — you can fit both in.
As the light turns golden, the captain heads for the channels where spinner dolphins gather. Watch them ride the bow wave as the sun drops into the Indian Ocean, then a short cruise home.

Most private speedboats comfortably carry 6–12 guests, though smaller boats for 2–4 and larger vessels for up to 20 are available. We match the boat to your group size.
We collect you from your resort jetty or from the Malé/Hulhumalé marina. Most pickups in North and South Malé Atoll are included. If you're further afield, we'll advise on the best option.

Yes — one of the most popular itineraries. The speedboat drops you at a resort jetty for lunch, waits, and then continues to a sandbank or reef. We can recommend restaurants and help with the reservation.
If conditions make the trip unsafe or genuinely unpleasant, we reschedule at no charge or provide a full refund. Speedboats handle moderate conditions well, but we'll always be honest about what to expect on your specific day.
