About this yacht
Luxury & Diving
The M/Y CONTE MAX is a world class 33m luxury liveaboard boat. When Conte Max was launched, back in 2004, the Maldives did not offer many boats of such comfort and standards as to represent an alternative to the islands resorts also for those who did not engage in diving activities.
With the launch of Conte Max, the concept of a cruise combining the rejuvenating wellbeing of the Maldivian sea and scenery with the wellbeing of an onboard Ayurveda center was born and in terms of Maldives cruises a totally new trend was set. Thanks to its increasingly refined cuisine, the staff that was raised with the boat, and customer service class and attention to detail, Conte Max has become one of the best known and most loved yacht among those who for years have not been able to do without regular visits to the Maldives to discover with us what these islands have to offer, both above and below the sea surface...

Perfect for couples CAB9 is ideal for two people wanting an intimate, all-inclusive escape, this is genuinely a floating suite rather than a party boat. The single cabin setup means you're not managing multiple guest dynamics or crew service complexities.

Standout features A 33-metre motoryacht from 2004 with Wi-Fi, air-con, and water toys (dinghy, SUP board) hits the sweet spot between capability and comfort for exploring the Maldives. The zero deposit is refreshingly straightforward for international charterers.

Value assessment Without seeing the daily rate, it's hard to judge value definitively, but the Maldives is a long-haul destination, you're flying from the US, UK, or Europe regardless, so factor in those flight costs. A private yacht this size offers exceptional privacy compared to resort alternatives, though you'll want to confirm fuel and crew costs upfront.

One honest note The 2004 build age isn't a dealbreaker for a well-maintained vessel, but do ask the operator for recent survey reports and service history, particularly engine and systems, before committing. It's the kind of detail that separates a smooth charter from unexpected frustrations mid-voyage.

The marina & destination

Based at Hulhumale, in Hulhumale, Maldives. CAB9 is operated by Luxury Yacht Maldives.

Why this is a great starting point

Hulhumale is the Maldives' primary modern marina facility, located 24km from Male International Airport, making it the most practical departure point for long-haul visitors. Week 1 typically covers the North Male atolls and Baa atoll to the north; the steady northeast monsoon (November to April) provides reliable sailing toward shallow lagoons and coral reefs within 30-40nm of the marina. This setup suits sailors wanting immediate access to world-class snorkelling and diving without long delivery passages, though the atoll geography demands careful navigation around shallow banks and frequent anchorages rather than long offshore legs.

Frequently asked questions
Can CAB9 be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter CAB9 bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter CAB9?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
