**This is a sample itinerary. The actual itinerary may be adjusted by the captain or the service provider due to weather conditions or other reasons.

Day 1 Huvadhu Atoll

Embarkation at 6AM. We start from Thinadhoo Island that is 15 mins away from the airport. Breakfast is served at 8:30 every morning. The breakfast consist of bred, omelet, Jam, Peanut butter, Sausages, Fresh Orange juice and Butter.

Around 9:30 we reach the first Surf Break that is near Vadhoo. This surf break is called “BLUE BOWL” it’s RIGHT guests to the surf breaks where Surfers can start surfing early morning. The swells start early morning. Guests usually spend 2 to 3 hours there surfing and having the time of their lives. Around 12:30PM the lunch is served!

Day 2 Tiger Strips

This long, wrapping left breaks over a coral reef with parallel grooves like the stripes of a tiger. With a solid swell the tricky take-off leads into a long wall that wraps around and gets faster and steeper into a final barrel section.

Day 3 Antiques in Huvadhoo

Across the channel from Tigers lies its right-handed twin, a smaller and more manageable wave that's ideal for beginners, especially when the swell is larger. Atoll is an exposed reef break that has dependable surf Offshore winds blow from the north northwest.

Day 4 Love charms

Very reliable left-hander that works on any swell, but changes as the swell gets bigger. At low tides with a small swell, it has two sections starting with a hollow wall and then some nice little pockets. When it’s bigger, the sections join up into a long, solid wall with a series of barrels.

Day 5 Two ways

This surf point has more relaxed wave that breaks both left and right off the southern tip of the reef, suitable for all tides. It breaks into deeper water compared to many of the shallow reefs around, making it ideal for intermediate surfers and fun for everyone. The right-hander needs a slightly bigger swell, but both directions work well with any swell over a meter, offering long, peeling walls.

Day 6 Five Islands

Located on the southeastern corner of the same reef pass, Five Islands offers a long and solid right-hander that thrives on a south swell and mid- to high tide (it can get dangerously shallow at low tide). It needs a swell of over a meter and can handle swells twice that size or more. When the sections link up, it transforms into a long, hollow, barreling, and very fast wave, perfect for advanced surfers.

Day 7 BlueBowls

Blue Bowls in the Maldives is a surfer's paradise, offering consistent and mellow right-handers that cater to all skill levels. Nestled in a stunning tropical setting, this spot is known for its long, peeling waves that provide an exhilarating yet manageable ride. With its crystal-clear waters, Blue Bowls promises a unique surfing experience, perfect for both seasoned surfers and beginners looking to catch some perfect waves in a breathtaking environment.

Day 8 Castaways

Castaways in the Maldives is a hidden gem for surfers, offering pristine, uncrowded waves in a stunning tropical setting. This spot features a mix of left and right-handers, providing exciting rides for surfers of all levels. Known for its crystal-clear waters and consistent swells, Castaways promises a memorable surfing experience. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, the waves here offer something for everyone

Day 9 Beacons

Beacons surf spot is renowned for its powerful and challenging right-handers, making it a must-visit spot for experienced surfers. Known for its consistent and heavy waves, Beacons offers thrilling rides and barrel opportunities that attract surfers looking for an adrenaline rush. With its stunning tropical backdrop and crystal-clear waters, this surf spot provides an unforgettable experience for those ready to take on its formidable waves.

Customer reviews

How customer reviews and ratings work

We use the Average with Prior (also known as Bayesian Average) to calculate the total rating for each sailing cruise

Since new cruises could have very few reviews, each review can significantly impact the average score, potentially leading to misleading representations of the total score (e.g., one very positive or very negative review skewing the overall rating). To mitigate this, we use a "prior" or "default" score.

This means that each cruise, by default, starts with a rating of 4, which is calculated from 5 hypothetical reviews, each rated 4. This assumption provides a baseline level of performance that is neutral-to-positive.

For example, if a new cruise receives a 5-star review, the total rating will be adjusted to 4.17. Here's how it is calculated: (4 × 5) + 5 = 25 and then divided by the total number of reviews 6 (5 default + 1 actual review), resulting in 4.17

As more reviews come in, the weight of the actual reviews increases, and the influence of the prior diminishes.
