Private Hire Speedboat
Private Charter Service in the Maldives
Important Notice: Private Speedboat Transfers to Resorts
Please be advised that private speedboat transfers from MLE Airport to any resort are strictly prohibited unless prior permission is obtained from the resort. Most resorts in the Maldives do not allow third-party boats or external transfers to come to them, as they prefer to manage transfers to their Guests themselves. So please before contacting us to arrange your transfer, you must first confirm with your resort that they allow external private transfer arrangements. If your resort provides approval, you may then reach out to us. Upon confirmation, we will provide the resort with the vessel registration number and the expected arrival time for your transfer. Please note that this service is only available if you have a confirmed booking with the resort.
We currently offer private transfers only from MLE Airport to tourist resorts in Alifu Dhaalu Atoll (South Ari Atoll) via Mahibadhoo or Maamigili using our own speedboats based on these local islands. We offer also transfers to Resorts based in South Male’ Atoll via Gulhi. This transfer method saves you a lot of money, as resorts often charge much higher prices for their own transfers, especially if they are with a seaplane. Read our Google reviews here

In Addition: Local Islands to Resorts Transfers
If you are already on a local island near that resort, we can arrange a transfer from that local island to that resort. Examples include transfers from Gulhi to Anantara Veli Resort or vice versa, from Dhiffushi to Meeru Island Resort & Spa, from Dhangethi to Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa, from Mahibadhoo to Lily Beach Resort & Spa, and etc, etc,…
Please note: Do not confuse these transfers with day passes to resorts. They are completely different. A day visit to a resort, for example, from Maafushi to Sun Siyam Olhuveli or from Gulhi to Adaaran Prestige Vadoo Resort, includes round-trip transfer, entrance fee, buffet lunch, drinks, and use of the resort’s facilities. It is like a day package. A day visit to a resort is different from a regular transfer.
Pricing Information for Private Transfers
The cost of private hire speedboat transfers depends on several factors including, distance, boat capacity, season, and especially weather conditions. During rough seas, a larger boat may be required instead of a small or regular one to ensure safety, which could result in higher costs.
Important Note: Some resorts may charge additional fees for private hire boats, such as docking charges. These fees are set by the resort and will be added to the total cost.
