DHONI STELLA I & II
Maldives
The Charter
Traditional Charm with Modern Comfort
Dhoni Stella I and II are luxury wooden yachts that blend the feel of a traditional Maldivian fishing boat with all the comfort of a private liveaboard. Perfect for couples, families, or small groups of friends, each yacht can host up to six guests in an intimate and fully private setting. At 21 metres in length, the boats provide plenty of space without losing their classic charm. Each trip is tailor-made to your preferences, whether it is surfing, diving, island-hopping, or simply relaxing at sea. With a dedicated crew looking after every detail, both Dhoni Stella's offer the freedom to explore the Maldives at your own pace with unmatched privacy and flexibility.
Accommodation
Couples and Small Groups
Both yachts feature two air-conditioned cabins with ensuite bathrooms, tastefully decorated in a warm and traditional style that complements the wooden hull and handcrafted interiors. A spacious indoor salon provides an inviting area for dining or relaxing, while the outdoor deck is perfect for enjoying the sea breeze and taking in the views of turquoise lagoons and starry skies. Designed for privacy, they allow couples or families to have the entire vessel to themselves, ensuring a personalised and exclusive experience that feels like a floating villa on the water. Dhoni Stella I is best for smaller groups of up to four guests, while Dhoni Stella II can comfortably host up to six.
