Overnight and weekly yacht charters in the Maldives aboard Ritrella
2 to 7+ nights · Up to 50 guests · Full-yacht buyouts
How much does a weekly yacht charter in the Maldives cost?
Weekly luxury yacht charters in the Maldives are quoted per night and depend on the vessel, the number of cabins, catering and season. On top of the charter rate, expect 17% tourism GST and a per-guest, per-night green tax on overnight stays. We quote Ritrella with every tax and extra itemised.

What four nights aboard can look like.
Every stay is shaped around your group, the weather and the sea. This is one way it can run.
- Day 1
Board near Malé
Settle into your cabins, lunch aboard, then a first swim at a quiet reef before a sunset drink on the aft deck.
- Day 2
North Malé reefs
Morning snorkel or dive, pool time through the heat of the day, and a spa treatment before dinner.
- Day 3
Sandbank barbecue
Cruise south to a sandbank for a barbecue and an afternoon on the sand, then anchor somewhere new.
- Day 4
Island & watersports
Visit a local island in the morning, jet skis and paddleboards in the afternoon, and a farewell dinner on deck.
- Day 5
Breakfast & disembark
A last swim before breakfast, then transfer to the airport or your resort. We can arrange the transfer by speedboat.
Is a Ritrella stay all-inclusive?
It can be. Some groups want every meal, drink and activity bundled into one price; others prefer to keep the bar and activities flexible. Tell us which you prefer and we quote either way, with the charter, catering, bar, activities and taxes on separate lines so you can compare like with like.
Whatever the package, two taxes apply to overnight stays in the Maldives: the 17% Tourism GST on tourism services, and green tax charged per guest for each night aboard. Our guide to charter taxes and fees explains both, including the change that took effect on 1 October 2026.
Quiet anchorages, honestly described
Ritrella cruises at around 8 knots, so a stay covers North and South Malé Atolls rather than distant atolls. That still leaves plenty of quiet water: sandbanks and reefs away from resort house reefs, calm lagoon anchorages and local islands that few visitors reach. If a remote atoll is essential to your trip, tell us and we'll advise honestly on the best way to combine it.
Built for families and private groups
Families. Interconnecting cabin pairs keep children next to parents, the pool is on the foredeck, and the crew handles meals and logistics so adults actually rest.
Groups and retreats. With 25 cabins, a restaurant and two bars, Ritrella works as a private venue for a milestone celebration, a company retreat or a reunion.
Divers. A dive centre aboard means dives can be scheduled around your day without a separate boat.
Ritrella, 58 metres of floating hotel
Ritrella has operated in the Maldives since 2017 and was redesigned in 2025. Across five decks she carries 25 en-suite cabins, a restaurant, two bars, a forward saltwater pool, a spa and a dive centre, with jet skis, paddleboards and canoes for time off the boat. She cruises North and South Malé Atolls, anchoring somewhere new each day.

Everything you need to know.
Short stays of one or two nights are possible. The minimum depends on the season and on whether you book cabins or the whole yacht, so we confirm it for your dates.
Ritrella operates as a floating hotel, so cabin bookings may be available on some dates. For complete privacy, a full-yacht buyout reserves all 25 cabins and the public decks for your group.
17% Tourism GST applies to tourism services, and green tax is charged per guest for each night stayed on a tourist vessel. We show both on your quote.
Ritrella is 58 metres long with a 9.2-metre beam, so she is far steadier than small boats. The calmest seas are usually between December and April. If anyone is sensitive, tell us and we'll plan sheltered anchorages.
Yes. Interconnecting family cabins are available, and the crew can plan the day around younger guests. Children should be supervised around the pool and on deck.
We arrange transfers from Velana International Airport or your resort, usually by speedboat. Tell us your flight times and we plan boarding and disembarkation around them.
Wi-Fi is available aboard, though coverage varies depending on where the yacht is anchored.
