Sailing Maldives: Travel Aboard our Dhoni Boats

27 March 2023 | All Blogs, Destination, Dining, Experience

Salt spray sparkles in the sunshine, and the wooden prow cuts through the clear, aqua water. A horizon of Baros blue stretches before you as you sail into another day of adventure and island bliss.

Sailing on Nooma, our authentic Maldivian dhoni, is a Baros memory that is hard to beat. Built in the age-old maritime tradition of the islands, this dhoni showcases the unique design, which includes a wide, shallow hull and high, curved bow and stern. The design allows the boat to navigate shallow waters easily, even in rough seas.

On Nooma, you are experiencing life on the water in the traditional, island way, but with a few added comforts! Reef snorkelling adventures, sunset sailing or romantic dinner cruises for two. Nooma is the perfect vessel for an authentic local experience, with a difference and features a sundeck, a private saloon lounge and an air-conditioned double bedroom – everything at your fingertips for the adventure of a lifetime.

Some of the breathtaking experiences you can enjoy aboard Nooma are:

  1. Snorkelling expeditions

Nothing quite beats dropping from the wooden deck, straight into the aquamarine wonder of a colour-filled coral reef. Individual, personalised snorkelling safaris onboard Nooma, with our Marine Biologist, will take you to underwater adventures like never before.

  1. Romantic dinner cruise

Savour the liquid orange sun slipping into the sea as you dine under the stars with our Sunset Dinner Cruise onboard Nooma. Tended by your own butler, you can feast on a gourmet menu prepared exclusively for you by our chefs.

  1. Dolphin watching

Set out early for a half-day of dolphin watching onboard Nooma. This is really natural Baros at its finest as you watch a host of dolphins leaping from the sea and spinning at the prow or the majestic back of a whale shark break the surface of the blue water.

  1. Traditional fishing expedition

From big game fishing excursions to night fishing under the stars, fishing is ranked as one of the top experiences in the Maldives. Reel in barracuda, snappers, and even Marlin in December and try your hand at traditional Maldivian fishing using a hand line with raw fish as bait.
