What's aboard Ritrella
Ritrella was built as a floating hotel rather than a private motor yacht, which is why she can host groups that no ordinary charter boat can. Across five decks you'll find:
- 25 en-suite cabins. These include middle-deck suites with private deck access, a 20 m² master suite, and interconnecting family cabin pairs that suit parents travelling with children.
- A restaurant and two bars. The kitchen serves Western and Asian dishes, and the aft deck works as a sunset bar and party space.
- A forward saltwater pool, with sunbeds and lounge seating across the foredeck and top deck.
- A spa offering massage, manicure and pedicure.
- A dive centre for certified divers and first-timers, alongside jet skis, paddleboards and canoes.
- Island excursions and sandbank barbecues, arranged as part of the day's programme.
Who Ritrella suits
Large groups. Ritrella takes up to 50 guests, far beyond the 12-guest limit of most private yachts in the Maldives.
Celebrations and vow renewals. Her decks, bars and pool make her a natural venue for milestone birthdays, anniversaries and wedding celebrations.
Corporate and incentive groups. She suits a day on the water for a team, a client event or a short retreat with cabins for everyone.
Multi-generational families. A full buyout keeps everyone together, with interconnecting cabins and a crew looking after the logistics.
Ritrella or the Saxdor?
We offer both, so we'll always point you to the one that fits your day.
| Saxdor 400 GTC | Ritrella | |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 12.5 m sports yacht | 58 m luxury yacht and floating hotel |
| Guests | Up to 12 | Up to 50 |
| Speed | Up to 40 knots | Around 8 knots cruising |
| Overnight | No, day charters | Yes, 25 en-suite cabins |
| Drinks | No alcohol aboard | Two bars aboard |
| Best for | Sandbanks, whale sharks, fast island hopping | Events, large groups, overnight stays |
An honest note on range. Ritrella cruises at around 8 knots, so she stays within North and South Malé Atolls. If whale sharks in South Ari are on your list, we pair a Ritrella stay with a fast day aboard the Saxdor.

Everything you need to know.
Up to 50 guests, across 25 en-suite cabins for overnight stays. For day events the right number depends on the set-up you want (seated dinner, party, activity day), and we confirm it when you enquire.
Yes. Day and evening events are possible for celebrations, corporate days and parties. Tell us your date, group size and the kind of day you have in mind, and we send options and a quote.
Yes. Ritrella has two bars aboard, and bar packages can be added to your quote. This differs from the Saxdor day charters, where alcohol is not served aboard.
You can hold a wedding celebration or vow renewal aboard. Note that legal marriages for non-Maldivian couples are not performed in the Maldives, so most couples marry legally at home and celebrate here.
North and South Malé Atolls, anchoring at a new location each day. Your routing is planned around your programme, the weather and sea conditions.
Yes. Ritrella has a dive centre aboard. Certified divers can join guided dives, and beginners can try an introductory dive with an instructor.
For day events, two to four weeks ahead is sensible. For buyouts, weddings and peak dates between December and April, we recommend enquiring two to six months ahead.
