Crowd Dodging Itineraries
From May to September 2019, the Emperor Virgo surf charter will be deployed for 7 Night Central Atoll Trips. The charters will start in Laamu and finish in Laamu, giving the trip more flexibility to chase the less crowded waves around the Central Atolls. Your expert guide will find you an abundance of surf East and West of the Central Atolls.
MV Emperor Virgo
Accommodating up to 16 guests (we recommend only 12 surfers), all 9 Emperor Virgo cabins have double/twin beds, plus one cabin can be booked as a triple with a small single bed. All cabins feature private ensuites and air-conditioning. Upper and main deck cabins have large windows giving amazing views to the ocean and islands beyond.
Decorated in light wood and contemporary style, the main deck has a large saloon with comfy sofas. The bar is fully licensed so you can enjoy your favourite beverage as the sun dips below the horizon. The upper deck has loungers for sun bathing and just kicking back.
Non-surfing partners are welcome and can spend a relaxing holiday swimming, snorkelling or simply sunbathing and chilling on the expansive sun deck.

Surf Emperor Virgo – Central Atolls
The Central Atolls are not as frequented as the northern Atolls and World Surfaris has been at the forefront of discovery in this region since the late 90’s.
This region of the Maldives experiences a similar surf season to Indonesia. The winds tend to be light and usually with some west in the angle over this time which is favourable for offshore conditions at most breaks. The surf generally ranges in size from 2-8 feet, however bigger days can been experienced from time to time. A great variety of reef breaks exist throughout these atolls from long mellow walls to more intense hollow waves.
