Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
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.

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