Ocean Dancers decor follows an elegant Balinese theme, with beautiful water hyacinth lounges and chairs, complimented with stunning artwork and fittings. The main lounge area with mahogony floors, boasts a huge plasma screen where you can view your days surfing (filmed by on board staff), whilist enjoying a cool beer, or for the ladies, a glass of champagne.
The spacious aft area on the main deck acts as the principle dining area. Breakfasts are sumptuous, lunch is buffet style, and dinners are of the highest gourmet standard.
The Ocean dancers bar is fuly stocked with a range of champagnes, Cognacs, beers and spirits, all available 24 hours.
Ocean Dancer has 3 tender boats
• 52’ Surf/Dive boat that will take the surfers from the tranquil anchorage to within metres of the World Class Maldivian surf-breaks. Also used for scuba divers.
• 2 x Dingy – 18’ with 85hp and 11’ with 15hp – gives you the option to break up the group and surf various breaks simultaneously. Also used for fishing.
Extensive game fishing gear is onboard for the serious angler and the Maldives offer a vast array of game species of all sizes.
If you would like to learn to scuba dive then you can complete your PADI ticket whilst onboard Ocean Dancer. David is also a very accomplished FREE DIVER and is happy to pass on his expert knowledge to anyone onboard. This could be of particular interest to surfers who would like to learn to hold their breath longer when in serious hold down situations.
PAMPER PAMPER PAMPER
We realise that non surfers/divers sometimes are neglected on surf trips whilst their pleasure/adrenalin seeking partners are having the time of their lives surfing.
One thing is for certain, the non surfers on Ocean Dancer will be happy to see their partners depart for a surf in the morning so they commence their days pampering in the Ocean Dancer day spa complete with masseuse. Spa treatments will be at additional cost.
