Introducing the MV Carpe Vita Explorer, the brand new luxury surf charter boat designed and built for guests that enjoy a full service surf & dive charter. The MV Carpe Vita is a brand new luxury 38m long motor safari yacht with a wooden hull, designed and built by experienced Maldivian boat builders. It will be accompanied by a specially designed new 61 foot Dhoni (diving & surfing tender) to meet the needs and comfort of both divers & surfers. The Carpe Vita Explorer has 10 guest cabins divided in 3 categories over 3 decks and can cater for a maximum of 20 guest but you only need a group of 12 to have the boat for an exclusive charter.
Captain & Crew
With 13 crew on board to take care of your every need, this is a truly service inspired charter boat. Captain Shereef is one of the best captains in the Maldives with 10 years experience navigating the best boats through every atoll in the Maldives, so he has your safety covered. He is supported by his 2nd in charge and they have another 2 boat boys & an onboard engineer looking after every element to run a smooth & trouble free surfari. You have 2 chefs dishing up 3 gourmet meals per day of a mix of Asian and Western dishes and they are assisted by a fulltime barman and waiter for evening cocktails and a truly fine dining experience. Each day your cabin is turned over by your own room attendant and fresh towels and sheets are just a request away.
For recreation you have a separate support craft, called a Dhoni. This vessel is a fully equipped surf & dive craft to take you to surf and dive spots while the mother ship is anchored in a safe vantage point. You have another 3 crew on this boat to look after your every need along with another 15 ft dingy to get nice and close to the breaks. For the divers on board you have two experienced dive masters to do dives in between surfs or even a Padi certified dive course for non surfers.
A Perfect Wave surf charter wouldn’t be a surf charter without an experienced surf guide getting you the best waves on offer. On the Carpe Vita you get two guides, a local guide to assist you in the water daily, ensuring you are in the right take off spot; and an experienced Aussie guide to plan and advise on forecasts and cater the surf sessions based on the surfer level and experience. He will ultimately run the charter to ensure that all guests get everything they want from the best luxury surf charter in the Maldives.
