Why a month at sea?

More than a holiday.

There’s no fixed plan. We move when the wind’s good and stay put when a place is too good to leave, so everyone has a say in how the days go.

You’re crew, not a passenger. You’ll learn to sail, share the cooking and the chores, grab a board or a snorkel, and come home with new friends and a few new skills.

The slow hours

Other ways the days go.

Between the big stuff, the slow, salty hours that make the trip.

Swim out for sundowners

Cocktails are better off the back of the boat, float in the warm blue as the light turns gold.

Cook the catch on the beach

Land a wahoo at dusk, then grill it over the fire on a deserted island.

Paddle the lagoon

Take a kayak across water so clear the shadow of the hull follows you along the sand.

Movie under the stars

A screen on the beach, the projector humming, the sea a few steps away.

Beach a bare sandbank

Wade ashore on a strip of sand with no name and no footprints but yours.

Help restore a reef

Mount coral fragments and learn how a reef is rebuilt, hands-on with a local marine project.

Wakeboard the flat water

Get up behind the dinghy and carve the glassy lagoon while the wind is still asleep.

Taco night in the galley

The whole crew builds dinner together, fresh-caught fish and all the trimmings, eaten elbow to elbow.

Glide over a manta

Drift above a manta as it loops the shallows, a wingspan wider than you are tall.

A week aboard

What a stretch looks like.

One example week, yours will be different. That’s the whole point.

Drag to see the week →

Day 1

Arrive & ease in

Land in Malé, shake off the long flight, and wade into the warm shallows. The boat quietly becomes home.

Day 2

Settle into crew life

Meet the crew, claim a bunk, and fall into the rhythm over the first big meal cooked together.

Day 3

First swim, first reef

Slip into the lagoon, reef sharks and rays cruise the shallows while you float.

Day 4

Out among the atolls

Short sails island to island, the water turning every shade of blue.

Day 5

A sandbank of our own

Anchor off a bare strip of sand. Swim, paddle, and do gloriously little.

Day 6

Fishing & a galley feast

Land a catch on the passage, then cook it together as a crew.

Day 7

Off-grid & sundowners

No village, no signal, just the boat, the stars, and a toast on the bow as the sun drops.

Indicative four-week route through the Maldivian atolls

The route

Where we point the bow.

Four-week voyages aim for a full lap of the Maldives, top to bottom, as far as the weather lets us. Two-week voyages explore one half at its calm, clear best: the south from May to September, the north from October to April.

1
Malé & North Malé AtollProvision up, shake down the boat, first night at anchor.
2
Ari & Vaavu AtollsManta cleaning stations, whale-shark water, sandbank nights.
3
Central deep channelsLong blue-water passages, the real sailing stretches.
4
Huvadhoo & the deep southUntouched reefs, anchorages with no names, a true off-grid run.
5
Addu & the equatorCross the line under sail at the very bottom of the country.

Above is an example four-week southern run. Two-week voyages cover the half that’s in season, and every route bends to the wind and weather on the day.
