Malé Atolls
Signature
March to October
Trip Overview
Suited to smaller groups, Fascination is a 65 ft, 5 star luxury yacht that has the speed and size to help you find the best surf in the Malé Atolls.
This vessel suits a small family, or two couples and can accommodate up to six people in three deluxe cabins. Each spacious cabin has an ensuite, air-conditioning and surround-sound music. Everything you’d expect from a luxury surf charter in the Maldives. When it comes to luxury, Fascination doesn’t disappoint. In a previous life Fascination was actually based in the Mediterranean, chartered by celebrities attending the Cannes Film Festival!
As well as being the ultimate wave hunter, Fascination has plenty to keep non-surfers happy in the Malé Atolls. When you’re not surfing, you can relax in air-conditioned comfort in the saloon, soak up that sweet Maldivian sunshine with a drink in hand, or chill out on the top deck sun lounge.
On board Fascination, Captain Naseem and his four highly skilled crew (chef, deckhand and surf guide), all work hard to ensure your surf trip is one to remember. You’ll cruise through the Malé Atolls at 10-12 knots, however Fascination is capable of reaching speeds of up to 20 knots, helping you get as many waves as possible during your stay in the Maldives.
There are plenty of non-surfing activities to keep everyone entertained day-in, day-out. Some popular activities include snorkelling in the crystal clear Indian Ocean, fishing and visits to nearby islands. Scuba diving is also available on request.
Accommodation
On board Fascination you can choose from three deluxe cabins. Each cabin has air-conditioning, an ensuite and port hole.

Surfing Malé Atolls
Get ready for the rare experience of a multi-atoll surf adventure on board Fascination. With a super powerful 820 hp engine, you can access waves in the Malé, Northern, Central and even Southern Atolls, depending on the length of your trip. The longer you stay on board, the more waves you’ll get to surf!
The minimum stay on board Fascination is five nights. Alternatively, stay longer and surf more waves, with a small fuel surcharge if you travel further afield.
A surf charter on board Fascination gives you the best chance of scoring epic waves and empty lineups, sampling the best surf breaks the Maldives has to offer.
MALE ATOLLS
Jailbreaks
Previously off-limits, Jailbreaks is a long right-hander with three sections, including a mid-barrel section. When it’s lining up right, you can expect a super-fun 300m ride!
Ninjas
Travelling 20 minutes north you’ll find this fun right-hander which breaks off Kani Resort. It’s great for beginners to intermediate surfers. With an easier take-off, on smaller days, Ninjas is good for longboarders or cruising on a fish, and on bigger swells it’s lots of fun on a shortboard.
Cokes (Colas)
Cokes is one of the most well-known waves in the region. It’s a hollow right-hander which breaks at between 3 to 10 ft.
Chickens
On the other side of Cokes, Chickens is the fastest left-hander in the North Malé Atoll. It’s a swell magnet and can handle swell from 3 to over 10 ft, with rides up to 500m long.
Tucky Joes’
Tucky Joes’ left works in a big south east swell and delivers solid barrels and fun rides. Riptides is also super-fun in bigger conditions.
CENTRAL ATOLLS
Maliks
In the Thaa Atoll, off Hirilandhoo Island, Maliks is a left-hand reef break that, given the right conditions, offers up long, satisfying barrels. While this wave isn’t always performing at its peak, if you stumble upon Maliks during a south/south-west swell and south-east/east wind, you won’t be disappointed.
Finnimas
Finnimas isn’t for the faint of heart, as it breaks over some pretty shallow reef, however this left-hander is high up on the ‘to surf’ list for many visitors to the Central Atolls. While not the biggest wave in the Maldives, it’s definitely one not to miss given the right conditions.
Inside Mikados
The picture perfect Inside Mikados is a right-hand reef break just east of Outside Mikados. Hollow at low tide and user friendly on high, Inside Mikados offers up peeling down the line rides with short barrel sections.
Ying Yang
In the south of Laamu Atoll, Ying Yang is a right hander that is a frequent stop for Ocean Sapphire. Ying Yang combines a mellow down the line ride with a fast inside barrel section where surfers can get some serious tube riding time if they can push through the more challenging sections.
Machines
As mechanical as it sounds, Machines is the best right-hander in this region. Surfing Machines requires a bit of stamina, but the grinding barrel sections make it worthwhile. Machines lacks a channel, so you’ll need to be paddle fit, and be sure to have your wits about you when it’s time to get out of the impact zone.
Food & Drinks
After surfing the best waves the Maldives has to offer, you’ll be ready for a delicious feast cooked by your own private chef.
On board Fascination the professional chef has worked at some of the best resorts in the Maldives and you’ll enjoy a range of delicious food, prepared using the freshest ingredients available. Hot tip – for seafood lovers, the lobster night is one to remember!
