The Northern islands of Maldives is an untouched region, offering visitors the opportunity to experience Maldives in its purest and rarest form. Being the birthplace of the National Hero, Sultan Muhammed Thakurufaanu, the Northern Maldives holds an important historical significance. With few visitors, it is a well-preserved region practicing various Maldivian traditions till this day, and is home to many strong cultural ruins and historic sites. The region also consists of shipwrecks, protected marine sites, along with underwater caves and reef slopes, containing rich marine life and several underwater wonders waiting to be explored.
What's most different about the Maldives, compared to other countries I've been to is definitely the people. The kindness and the lengths they are willing to go to be generous.

This yacht rally being the first in the Maldives has been an excellent idea. And I am really surprised why it was not done earlier. But now that it has been done, it has been done very well. It is far better than our expectations. I would advise people who are cruising around the world, that if they are crossing the Maldives, they should look out for the duration during which the Maldives yacht rally is being held and they should include that in their itinerary.

It's a beautiful, beautiful country. The Maldives is amazing, the food has been amazing, and the people have been lovely. They are so friendly while interacting, the entire island comes out to greet us and that is so overwhelming and so lovely. It has been a great experience. I just want to tell people who are cruising around the world, to put the Maldives on their map.

This yacht rally is a really good way to see everything in the Maldives. You get to experience a lot of different places that I would never find otherwise. I hope they will continue doing it every year. Interacting with locals on the islands has been amazing on this trip. It was a great experience. For other people cruising around the world, if they have the chance to come to the Maldives, they should join this rally. I've been to twenty-six countries now, but I haven't experienced this before. The hospitality of everyone on the islands and the things you get to see at this rally is great.

The most enjoyable activities are coming ashore on these fantastic islands, where I get a royal welcome with flags, drums, singing and dancing, and being fed with the most fantastic food I've had in my journey, I feel like I am a visiting prince. We only had three weeks and it has been amazing.

We really enjoyed the Maldives. The place is beautiful and it's a lovely cruising ground. We are learning about the different anchorages we can share with our friends. All the islands are gorgeous, and the water is crystal clear, the people are wonderful.

It's amazing, we didn't know what to expect. The most significant thing is the hospitality we have received. The welcoming ceremonies, the dancing, cultural activities, and the Maldivian food. It far exceeded everyone's expectations on my boat and other boats as well. The people's friendliness is genuine. You must hit the Maldives into your itinerary, the water is beautiful, the people are beautiful, and the weather is beautiful. It's a dream, it's paradise.

The activity we enjoyed most was the fishing trips. It's a whole new experience for me and my kids. We caught some nice big fish and brought them to our boat and had barbeque. Before we arrived in the Maldives, I thought it was all about the luxury resorts and there was nothing else. But after this yacht rally, I opened my eyes, it was amazing. I recommend everyone to come to the Maldives because of its beauty.

From all the places we've been in the world, and we've been to a lot of places, the Maldives, from a yachties perspective is a hidden gem. Its great place for you to leave your boat, take a break from your boat, and enjoy the Maldives has to offer.

It's actually the first yacht rally we've been a part of, and so it's neat to meet other cruisers and to do all the activities from islands to island and learn all about Maldivian cultural experience. It's been great for us, great for our kids. It's a very eye-opening cultural experience. The Maldivian people have been some of the most welcoming and warm and friendly and happy people. I don't think we've ever felt more welcome in a country than we do in Maldives.
