Dhoni Stella are the new Maldivian private luxury yachts with just two cabin suites for 2-6 passengers which offer to the lovers of the Maldives a really unique holiday, sailing the archipelago with the own family or with a couple of friends. The dates, the route, the service and the menu on board are tailor-made: this explains why our yachts are considered 'the boutique of the Maldivian cruises'. Contrary to the other cruisers available in the archipelago, where the passengers share the boat with other people and follow a  proposed itinerary, on board of Dhoni Stella our guests are free to design their own route under the supervision of the captain, as per their wishes and their favorite activities: diving, surfing, snorkeling and fishing.

All our cabin suites have ample space for personal effect storage, en-suite bathroom, individual air-conditioning, over-bed fans, flat TV and DVD player. Stella 1 accommodates 4 people in 1 double bed and 1 twin bed cabins.

The Maldives is regarded as having some of the best dive sites anywhere in the world and nearly 65% of all visitors to the Maldives undertake some diving. Serious divers opt for a Diving Safari, which may be combined with a resort stay of your choice.
The “Thila” or circular reefs, enclosing a shallow lagoon, boast some wonderful dive spots. But the most famous dive spots in the Maldives which include 'Maayaa Thila', 'Mushimasmigili Thila', 'Nassimo Thila', 'Kuda Thila', 'Kandooma Thila', 'Fulidhoo Caves', 'Kudarah Thila', and 'Fotteyo', are found scattered amongst the various Atolls making up the tourist zone of the country. And you can only experience these great sites on a Diving Safari.

It is our goal to show you the most beautiful dive sites of the Maldives. To do that, we need to take seasonal conditions, available time and weather forecasts into account. Please trust our experienced crew to choose the best possible route and to maximize the liveaboard’s advantage of mobility in every situation. Fixed routes would mean to ignore the insider knowledge offered by our crews. At the beginning of every safari a rough route will be announced, followed by daily, more detailed briefings about the next day’s route. Before every dive you will be thoroughly briefed and shown a map of the dive spot.

Required diving certification/skills
you need at least a Padi Open Water Diver or an equivalent certificate to join one of our diving cruises. This basic certificate allows you to dive to a maximum of 59 Feet.

In order to be well-prepared for the challenging diving conditions in the Maldives and to be able to dive below 59 Feet (where many of the highlights are) we recommend doing the Padi Advanced Open Water or an equivalent certificate before or during your cruise.
Divers who have not dived in a while can do a Padi Scuba Review course to refresh their diving skills.

During the check dive, the dive guide will evaluate the skill levels of all divers. The diving conditions in the Maldives are challenging and if the dive guide or a guest feel that it is necessary, guided dives for individuals can be arranged for USD 10 per dive. Guided dives provide an opportunity to get used to diving in strong currents, entering and exiting the water from a dive tender (Dhoni) and doing fast descents under the supervision of an experienced dive master. We recommend guided dives to all divers with little open sea, current and liveaboard diving experience. In most cases, diver(s) only need a couple of guided dives at the beginning before diving with the group for the rest of their stay.

Dhoni
All dives are done from an extra diving boat (58 Feet). Equipment and compressor stay on the Dhoni throughout the safari. That means there is no carrying heavy equipment and no compressor noise on the mother ship. First aid box and oxygen are onboard.

Diving Equipment
Extra diving boat, 12lt Aluminium cylinders with DIN/INT valves, security buoy and lead In case you wish to rent diving equipment - Please pre-order rental equipment!

Holserv would be happy to recommend some special luxury resorts in the Maldives for the few days before or after your cruise. Our private yacht charters don’t only start when you embark on Dhoni Stella, but your family cruise holiday or your honeymoon, starts when you first contact us. With our years of private journeys planning experience and excellent hotels and resorts contacts, we help you planning and choosing the best Maldives have to offer. Whether you prefer to board the yacht from a remote and exclusive resort or upon a seaplane ride, the holidays we plan with you for your group or family are more than just to charter a yacht.

Hit the breaks in North Male' Atoll in luxury, live-aboard style. Get to great waves like Chickens and Colas before the resort boats arrive, and enjoy sunset sessions after the day-trippers have left.

Cruise three hours further south and explore the lesser known reefs of South Male' Atoll. The breaks are usually smaller, but they're an excellent alternative when the swell is up, and a great option for the casual surfer who wants an easy, uncrowded wave

On board of Dhoni Stella, Asian style amenities are carefully planned to make you feel at home and in total comfort. A little book library also contains books on the history and the Maldives and storybooks to keep you dreaming of the waters we sail. Cabins are equipped with hot water shower, air conditioning, carefully and abundant storage space, fresh liquid soaps, crisp white linens, thick bath towels, soft bath robes, beach towels and cool water jugs.
