Ritrella Private Charter
The entire vessel. Your route. Your rules. Ritrella, the Maldives largest yacht at 58 metres, chartered exclusively for your group across the North and South Male Atolls.
Ritrella is the Maldives largest yacht at 58 metres. On a private charter, the entire vessel is yours. All 23 cabins. All four decks. The full crew. No other guests. No fixed route. You decide where to wake up each morning. The captain takes you there.
First launched in the Maldives in 2017 and fully redesigned in 2025, Ritrella combines the freedom of a private yacht with the comfort of a boutique hotel. One restaurant, two bars, a saltwater pool, a yoga deck, and a full SSI dive centre with two compressors and a dedicated dhoni tender. Whether you are hosting a family reunion, a brand retreat, a wedding, or simply want the Maldives entirely to yourselves, Ritrella delivers an experience no resort can replicate: a different horizon every morning.
