MALDIVES YACHT CHARTER

Charter a yacht;catamaran;sailing yacht;yacht around the world !

Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures.

Rent a yacht in the Maldives.

Famous for their beaches and underwater richness, the Maldives appear to be a yacht charter destination where all is ‘dream and delight’. This yacht charter venue’s decor corresponds to all the clichés of a tropical paradise: a turquoise lagoon, with crystal clear warm waters, a multicoloured population of fish, immaculate beaches that border each island with its corolla of sand, coral dust. Today, hundreds of islands of the Maldives have been converted into luxurious resorts which welcome just under a million visitors each year; the possibility to reconnect with nature and the utmost relaxation opportunities are what attract tourists for a retreat in the beautiful lands of the Maldives.

Embark in Male the Maldivian capital; reach the five islands of the Vaavu Atoll and explore the largest unbroken reef berrier in the Maldives; Meemu Atoll is a diving paradise with its nine uninhabited islands and untouched fauna; discover the multitude of jewels on offer in Thaa Atoll which consists of 66 islands; Laamu Atoll has numerous archeological sites, thousands of fish and brightly coloured delights; one of the richest atolls in terms of underwater wonders is Huvadhu Atholhu; Rathafandhoo has some of the most pristine beaches; finish off with a luxyry retreat on Villingili.

Male

Start your charter In Male

Your journey will begin in Male, the Maldivian capital. Discover the “real” Maldives away from the resort life, with its tall, brightly coloured buildings all surrounded by turquoise waters.

Stop by some live markets and shops. The main market is amazingly authentic with its Indian Ocean aromas, fresh fruits, vegetables and tins of everything. Visit the National Museum and the golden-domed Mosque built in the 17th century.

Had a great day Charter in Cannes! Captain, Crew, and food was all great. Thank you to Loïc for all the help on organizing

Donika Viqa

We had a fantastic charter experience, with a great crew! Hugo was very supportive and helpful from the beginning, making the experience seamless and hassle free. The entire trip was handled professionally and we always felt confident and taken care of at all times. We are looking forward to our next charter!!

Shanna Hutton

We chartered a sailboat for a day for a family outing along the Riviera. Such a highlight of our trip! Gaelle was a wonderful captain and her team were incredible hostesses. I could not recommend this experience more!

I would highly recommend Arthaud Yachting for attentive concierge planning at any scale.

I wanted to create a special day on the water for our family and was happy to discover Loïc of Arthaud Yachting. Loïc immediately responded to my inquiry, asked me thoughtful questions, and then prepared a list of boating options, itineraries and costs. As I tailored our day and considered boat type, size, catering and activities, Loïc was always efficient in responding, and honestly impressed me that he took the time to read everything I wrote and make recommendations. I often expect people to miss a few of the details during busy times, so it came as a pleasant surprise to have him treat every aspect of our adventure with such care. The communication was excellent and timely, with everything going smoothly.

In addition, the day itself was perfect! We were delighted to join Captain Gaëlle and her Escapade crew for a relaxed day from the port in Nice, anchoring for an exceptional on-board lunch off the Iles de Lerins, with a final stop in Antibes. It was very easy to discuss routes and activities, and they were easily willing to make adjustments as needed to explore different areas.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time onboard the elegant and spacious Lagoon 560, visiting with the crew, learning many details about this special region, and left feeling as though we got exactly what we hoped from our day and more. We hope to return again!

Shane Kingston

Emma Magner

We held a corporate event with Arthaud Yachting as part of Canne Datacloud Conference. They were truly exceptional from beginning to end. Polina, Hugo and the crew catered to every single request and communicated with me from beginning to end to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. The yacht itself was impeccable. If you're looking for high end service for a corporate event, I cannot recommend them enough.

We had a small wedding party in one of their catamarans in May 2026. Gabriele and all team were great at responding to our needs, answering questions thoroughly, and making necessary changes according to our wishes in the planning process. At the wedding day, all our guests loved the vibe of our captain François and his crew. They were smiling, chatty and made sure that our experience was the best throughout the night. They made sure that they followed all safety procedures while picking the best views and attending to each guest's needs. Food served on board was also delicious! We couldn't have imagined a better experience.
