Staying at a Resort? Book Your Own Private Charter
Resort pickup · Independent operator · Often better value
Can I book a boat trip outside my Maldives resort?
Yes — resort guests can book independent operators, and it typically costs far less than in-house excursions for a fully private boat. Day Charter Maldives departs Hulhumalé and collects guests from resorts across North and South Malé Atoll aboard a Saxdor 400 GTC; any resort mooring fee is billed transparently at cost.
No complicated logistics — we handle it.

Your boat: the Saxdor 400 GTC
Day Charter Maldives offers private day charters aboard a Saxdor 400 GTC — a 12.5-metre Scandinavian-designed sports yacht carrying up to 12 guests at up to 40 knots, with an enclosed air-conditioned cabin, bow sunpads and a wide swim platform. It departs Hulhumalé, 10 minutes from Malé airport.
Everything you need to know.
Yes — Day Charter Maldives collects guests from resorts across North and South Malé Atoll. We coordinate the pickup with your resort's front desk and arrive at your jetty at the agreed time. No extra transfers needed.
This is a fair question with a diplomatic answer: resort excursions often use shared boats with multiple guests, have fixed itineraries, and include a significant resort markup. A private charter with Day Charter Maldives gives you the vessel, the itinerary and the day to yourself — often at a comparable or lower price per person for groups of 4+.
We serve resorts across North and South Malé Atoll — the majority of resort islands within one hour of Hulhumalé. Tell us your resort and we'll confirm immediately whether we cover your area.
Some resorts charge a fee for outside vessels mooring at their jetty, typically $25–$100. Where this applies, we quote it transparently before you book — it's billed at cost with no markup.
The vast majority of resorts allow guests to arrange their own independent activities. A small number prefer guests to use their in-house excursions — we'll flag this if it affects your resort. Always worth a quick word with your front desk too.
2–7 days is ideal — enough time for us to coordinate with the resort's marina and confirm the pickup. Last-minute is sometimes possible; WhatsApp us and we'll see what we can do.
