Launched in Feb 2004, Handhu is a 90’ vessel built SPECIFICALLY for Surf charters. Unlike other Maldivian vessels that operate diving charters plus some surf trips, Handhu is 100% surf trips. The massive interior saloon area is fully air-conditioned with all the latest electronic entertainment equipment (large flat screen TV, DVD, Stereo system, etc.) There is a massive lounge/dining area that easily seats a dozen guests in comfort.
The bar is well stocked with European beer , French Wine and a variety of spirits plus a large variety of soft drinks. Tea/Coffee and drinking water is included in the package price.
Outside, the deck space is massive with a large undercover Alfresco lounge/dining area capable of seating at least 15 people. This is the favourite dining area as it allows guests to escape the hot Maldivian sun, yet still remain outdoors capturing cool ocean breezes whilst watching the surf break nearby.
An outside stairwell leads to a massive sundeck with bench seating around the perimeter and is the ideal party venue at the end
of a hard days surfing with a few cold drinks and the stereo pumping out the tunes whilst watching the sun go down over the islands.
The aft deck is ideal for game-fishing and even the most accomplished game-fishermen will be impressed with the set-up.
There are 2 outdoor showers for rinsing the salt water off after your surf, snorkel, swim etc.
