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.

The following is a suggested 3-night private charter itinerary. On a full private charter your route is entirely yours to design.

Departure from Male

Transfer from Velana International Airport to Ritrella by scheduled speedboat (20-30 minutes) or private boat. Welcome aboard by the crew. Set sail into the North Male Atoll as the sun drops. Sundowners on the upper deck, dinner at the onboard restaurant, and your first night anchored under the stars.

2

Dive, Snorkel and Explore

Morning dive at Lankan Manta Point with the onboard SSI dive team. Afternoon snorkeling at the Shark Tank. Beach visit to a private sandbank. Sunset fishing from the vessel, then a beach barbecue dinner on a deserted island.

3

Islands and Reefs

Morning dive at a wreck site. Visit to a five-star resort for lunch. Afternoon paddleboarding and kayaking off the vessel. Return to Ritrella for a private poolside dinner as the yacht cruises toward the South Male Atoll.

4

Final Morning and Departure

Final morning swim at a secluded sandbank. Brunch onboard. Transfer back to Male in time for afternoon flights. Or extend your charter for additional nights.
