Maldives Dhoni Cruise, a delightful sojourn

Posted on by

The exotic islands of the Maldives have earned a justified reputation as one of the world’s premier holiday destinations. Offering delightful sunny weather, endless expanses of soft sandy beach and tranquil sapphire waters, this island paradise ranks as one of the most idyllic and romantic vacation destinations.

There are many things to do in the Maldives, with an array of aquatic-based activities on offer, but a unique experience not to be enjoyed anywhere else on the globe is taking a romantic cruise on a dhoni. A dhoni is a traditional wooden Maldivian sailing vessel, the design of which has changed little over the years. It resembles the traditional sailing vessels used by Arabian seafarers, and are noted for their robust appearance. Locally hand-built from timber of the coconut palm, these charming boats have been meticulously converted into comfortable cruising vessels with attractive accommodations, a saloon area and a large sundeck for the benefit of tourists.

Today dhonis are typically equipped with motors as well as sails, and the crew are experienced veterans in the seafaring profession. Sumptuous buffet lunches are served on board, and the crew do their best to provide a satisfying experience. Sleeping on the deck at night, with only the starry sky overhead is truly the experience of a lifetime.

A dhoni cruise offers many attractions, including the opportunity to explore uninhabited islands, gain an authentic understanding of the local mode of life and try out snorkelling amidst the sensational coral reefs of the vast Indian Ocean. Every evening, guests will be able to relax on a different islet, converse with the residents of small fishing villages and enjoy a delectable barbeque of seafood on a secluded beach. If you choose to visit the capital Male on your tour you will be able to include a session of shopping and sightseeing as well. Fishing enthusiasts will also be able to indulge in a few hours of angling on board the cruise vessel.

The selective visitor interested in Maldives spa resorts will find an outstanding choice in Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas. One of the quality Maldives resorts this fine rest offers excellent accommodations and courteous hospitality.

Game Fishing in Maldives – Angling in Maldivian Seas

Posted on by

Surrounded by ocean waves which seem to spread for eternity that sparkle in divine colours of blue and are bordered by pure powdery beaches, the Maldives is one location that cannot be forgotten when it comes to game fishing.

There are plenty of bony saltwater fish in these marine waters to keep challenging the most exploratory anglers who keep trying their luck and displaying their skill along the coasts over the world. The barracudas, tuna, swordfish, sailfish and marlin shoals amble freely through these waters and easily fall prey to the bait that is pitched into the water to reel them in. The fish are known as ‘game fish’ because of the recreational nature of the activity. Most anglers have a penchant for the sport and engage in it for personal contentment, to improve their suppleness and impeccable accuracy.

Some sportsmen free their victims back into the sea, to ensure there is plenty more for the others who come by to also engage in the activity. Yet most game fishing sessions culminate with a barbecue on the beach under the stars.

It is customary to find yachts and cruises in Maldivian waters, and it is no surprise that these fine liners have aboard well trained crew to assist in game fishing and are well prepared for western style game fishing, which is done in style. Otherwise, the option of hiring a boat out for a session or a full day is always available. Anglers may either carry their own fishing equipment or hire them out as well. The boats and trawlers travel steadily from shallow waters to deeper waters granting an opportunity for a wide spectrum of fish to be caught.

Each Maldives resort is surrounded by these splendidly blue waves that provide ample opportunity for game fishing. Every atoll has at least one Maldives luxury hotel which arranges these day excursions for its patrons. Thus do not miss out on the prospect of doing a spot of game fishing while basking in the luxury of a cruise ship or the backyards of Cocoa Island Maldives that open out to the endless ocean with seemingly infinite recreational opportunities that let you enjoy fun in the sun, sand and the surf.
