Asmas is a beautiful luxury boat that can hold up to 16 passengers, but only requires a minimum of 10 passengers for exclusive charter. Standard charter is 10 nights, but this is flexible – just ask us.
There is a big saloon with bar, sun and shadowdeck with sunbeds, an extra toilet in the public areas, and a coffeeshop
Asmas has both a dhoni and dingy. The dinghy is available at all times to guests. On a surfing safari, primarily it is for getting surfers to the breaks, however it is also used for fishing, snorkeling, island visits and any other purpose guests may wish. The dhoni is a 30-40 ft tender boat used for storing surfboards and anchoring very close to surfing points. This boat can also stay in the channel until dark as navigation lights are fitted.

Surf break |
From the harbour near the airport the surf points of Nth and Sth Male Atolls are very close. These are the most popular areas to surf due to the consistency. 30 minutes to the north, Jailbreaks, Honkys and Sultans and another 30 minutes on to Cokes and Chickens. These are the most popular points of Nth Male. South Male Atoll surfing points are about the same travelling time to the south.
The surf points are all quality breaks over coral reef. They all hold surf up to 8 ft and range in length from 100 mtr to 250 mtr rides. The wind during the surfing season, which is from May to October, is consistently from the west and the swell is always between 2 ft and 8 ft. The best conditions are with a Sth East swell and a light west wind.
During the day cruising between surf points is no problem. The captains endeavour to anchor close to the surf points for guests to view the surf when not in the water. All the surf points break on the reefs which surround the islands. Due to the close proximity of the islands it is always possible to go ashore at anytime. At 5.30 pm the safari boat is shifted from it’s anchor in the channel to the nearby harbour. These harbour anchorages are only 5 minutes away from the channel anchorage. Every morning at 6 am the boat is shifted back to the channel close to surf points. All of the channel passes have two surfing points, a left on one side of the channel and a right on the other. The channels are about 4-500 mtrs wide.
All safaris are totally flexible. The crew and guides are there to go when and where you would like within North and South Male. The boat can also move to other atolls such as the Central or Southern/Outer Atolls if guest are happy to pay a nominal fuel surcharge. |
