Here's a glimpse of what you'll get up to out here with us: Traditional dhoni boat This traditional fi shing boat is as essential to Maldivian identity as the paddle steamer is to the Mississippi River. The motorized one you'll sail with us has been modernized and equipped with all the amenities you need on the inside and the characteristic look and feel of the real thing on the outside. It comes ready with snorkelling equipment, basic fi shing gear, and room for eight lucky passengers. Little groups, big adventures With room for just eight passengers, the dhoni is a cozy way to get around the Maldives. Smaller group sizes means you forge closer bonds with your shipmates and get more out of the experience together. It really does feel like a personal cruise through paradise with some of the best friends you haven't met yet. Fresh fare, everywhere As you'd expect from an island nation 400km (249 mi) away from the mainland, Maldivian seafood is top notch. Your dhoni comes with its very own onboard chef who will prepare delicious meals in the local style for you every day.
