Dhoni Stella Motor Sailer

Based in Male, Maldives, the 73ft (22m) motor sailer Dhoni Stella was built by Holserv in 2007. She features 2 cabins – 2 Queen and 2 Pullman – for 6 guests, with day capacity for 10. A crew of 4 combines sailing expertise with deep local knowledge of Maldives’s coastline.

Sailing from Male

There is a particular rhythm to sailing from Male – the morning breeze filling the canvas, the quiet of moving along the coastline under sail, the satisfaction of arriving at anchor in a sheltered bay. Dhoni Stella cruises at 8 knots and features a swim platform. The crew knows the best anchorages, the sheltered bays, and the coastal tavernas that make this corner of Indian Ocean so rewarding to explore by boat.

On the Water

5 water toys including a kayak and a 17ft Boston Whaler tender provide plenty of variety at each stop. The crew manages everything, leaving guests free to enjoy the sailing and the scenery.

Chartering in Maldives

Operating from Male, Dhoni Stella covers the best of Maldives. The recommended months are Jan, Feb, Mar, Dec, when winds are steady and waters warm. Her captain’s local expertise means every itinerary uncovers spots that most visitors never see – quiet bays, local harbours, and waterfront dining with views that reward the journey.
