This is a trip with time on its side, specifically combining Wing Foiling with our SUP Surf trip – the two compliment each other and have become a popular cross-over to maximise water time.
If you Wing but don’t SUP Surf, or vice versa — that will work on this trip with two coaches on board and all the right support managing the two disciplines balanced.
If you Prone Foil — that is ok too, but not the priority and we do not have coaches on board for this. If you SUP Surf with prone foiling surfing as a back up it could work if you’re experienced. *Note – Prone Foil Surfing may not be allowed on some shared breaks for safety reasons.
Want to try Foil — this is not the focus but there will be opportunity for tow ups with our beginner foil set up and the jet-ski.
Wings and Foils are NOT Provided. SUNOVA Surf SUPs available for hire.
Fourteen nights.
Ten guests.
Two Coaches. Two Surf Guides.
Endless opportunity.
Prime Time has been designed for intermediate — advanced SUP surf and Wing Foil activities — a common crossover these days for people capitalising on conditions making the most of it with the freedom to explore the Maldives properly — without compromise, without rushing, and without being locked into a rigid schedule.
Built around two full weeks aboard MY Adora, this journey gives us the range, flexibility and time to fully follow the conditions throughout the Central and some of the Southern Atolls.
When it’s glassy and perfect waves, we surf.
When the wind arrives, we Wing.
Surf & Wing often go hand in hand with the lighter off-shore breezes around most of the breaks. If it gets really windy there are endless shallow water lagoons and tropical isles to Wing and explore.
SUP surfing remains the heart of the expedition, but Prime Time has also been purpose-built to embrace the natural crossover into wing foiling for experienced riders wanting to combine both disciplines throughout the journey.
With two dedicated coaches onboard capable of supporting both SUP surfing and wing foiling — along with a dedicated jet ski and experienced skipper specifically included for foil support operations — the trip creates a rare opportunity to maximise every type of condition the Maldives delivers.
Glass mornings.
Trade winds.
Long reef walls.
Open ocean runs.
Empty horizons.
Surf foiling as a cross-over to Surfing is also welcomed for experienced riders already confident and self-sufficient in ocean and reef environments, however this is not a dedicated surf foil coaching camp.
—
This is not a beginner trip.
Prime Time is designed for intermediate to advanced SUP surfers, wing foilers and crossover waterman or woman already comfortable in open ocean conditions and capable of managing themselves, their equipment and reef environments independently.
The reward is access to one of the most dynamic and enjoyable ocean playgrounds on earth — with the flexibility, support and time to experience it properly.
—
With over a decade of experience running dedicated SUP surf expeditions throughout the Maldives — combined with a fleet of premium SUNOVA Surf SUPs available for hire — every aspect of the journey has been designed around maximising water time while maintaining the relaxed luxury and freedom that defines life aboard Adora.
This is not a crowded surf charter.
It is a premium floating waterman (or woman) expedition through one of the most perfect ocean environments on earth.

SUP Surf • Paddle • Wing Foil Coach
Paul Byrne of IrishSUP is one of the most experienced and respected figures in international SUP coaching and education, bringing decades of ocean knowledge and a lifetime immersed in surf culture to the Maldives.
Based in Ireland, Paul’s background extends far beyond SUP surfing alone. Surfing, wing foiling, diving, boating, fishing and ocean exploration have shaped his life from an early age, creating a deeply rounded waterman whose calm coaching style is backed by genuine experience in the sea.
As an ASI Master SUP Trainer and highly experienced educator, Paul has spent years developing paddlers and surfers of all abilities — from complete beginners through to advanced competitors and international athletes. Alongside his coaching career, he is also a qualified Physical Education teacher and has worked extensively in professional education and training throughout his life.
Paul founded IrishSUP in Dublin in 2010, building it into one of Ireland’s leading SUP schools and playing a major role in the growth and development of Stand Up Paddle boarding throughout the country. Through IrishSUP, he has coached thousands of clients while helping shape standards, training systems and competition structures within the sport.
A passionate competitor himself, Paul has represented Ireland multiple times at World Championship level, including serving as Irish Team Manager on the international stage. His experience spans SUP surfing, racing, downwinding, wing foiling and expedition paddling, giving him a uniquely broad understanding of modern ocean sports and the environments we explore throughout the Maldives.
With the growing crossover between SUP surfing and wing foiling, Paul brings valuable insight into both disciplines. His experience riding open ocean swell, reading wind and water movement, and understanding foil dynamics adds another dimension to these expeditions — particularly on our longer-format Maldives journeys where conditions can cater beautifully to both sports.
What truly sets Paul apart is his ability to combine high-level technical knowledge with a relaxed, approachable coaching style that perfectly suits the rhythm of a luxury Maldives surf expedition. Whether sharing subtle wave-reading insights in the lineup, assisting guests with foil progression, or simply enjoying life aboard MY Adora after a full day in the water, Paul brings professionalism, warmth and genuine passion to every trip.
For guests wanting to spend time in the ocean with one of the sport’s most experienced international coaches, Paul Byrne offers a rare depth of knowledge and watermanship that elevates the entire Maldives experience.
The Maldives are unlike anywhere else on earth.
A chain of tiny coral atolls scattered across the Indian Ocean, where warm water, perfect reef passes and island life revolve entirely around the sea.
Days move slowly here.
Sunrise surf sessions.
Long walls peeling across shallow reef.
Afternoons drifting between islands.
Dinner under the stars aboard MY Adora.
For surfers, few places offer this level of consistency, variety and exploration.
A live-aboard charter changes everything.
Rather than being locked to a single resort and a single break, we move with the swell — searching for clean conditions, fewer crowds and the best waves available each day.
It’s a far more relaxed and immersive way to experience the Maldives.
Remote islands.
Empty lineups.
Sunset anchorages.
Life entirely at sea.
While the surf is the focus, life onboard is equally memorable.
Private suites.
Warm evenings on deck.
Snorkelling, island visits, diving, photography and long conversations between sessions.
Whether you surf every day or simply want to experience the Maldives in comfort, the journey itself becomes part of the experience.
Luxury. Exploration. Warm water.
A small group of like-minded surfers aboard one of the finest SUP surf charters in the Maldives.
Before the Maldives, we spent years running SUP Surf Tours in Fiji. And while Fiji has some truly incredible waves, over time I realised it just didn’t fully align with what I wanted to deliver specifically for SUP surfers. Away from the main areas, Cloud Break, Restaurants etc good SUP waves are difficult to find.
SUP Surfing is different.
I’m looking for fuller waves, long rides, more wave count, less crowd pressure and the ability to move around with changing conditions. You need consistency, flexibility and access. I wanted a destination where we could build an entire experience around that philosophy — not just run another surf charter.
Then I stumbled across the Maldives… and eventually, the right boat.
That changed everything.
For the past decade we’ve dedicated ourselves almost entirely to SUP Surfing in the Maldives, and in our opinion there is simply no better place in the world for it.
Stretching nearly 850km from north to south and made up of 26 coral atolls scattered across the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is an incredibly unique country. It’s narrow, remote and almost entirely ocean. The beauty of it is that while the country stretches a huge distance north to south, many of the crossings from east to west can be done by boat in a single day.
That opens up enormous flexibility.
Depending on swell direction, wind and conditions, we can reposition quickly and continue searching for quality surf. Some seasons favour one side of an atoll, some favour another. Some days you wake up to ruler-edged offshore perfection. Other days the mission becomes exploring a new corner of reef or chasing a cleaner swell somewhere else entirely.
That’s why the boat matters so much.
And Adora has become a huge part of what makes these trips special.
She gives us the ability to move, adapt and explore properly — not just sit anchored in one place hoping conditions line up. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons our trips consistently deliver quality surf across such a wide range of conditions and experience levels.
But the Maldives isn’t just about the waves.
Warm tropical water, endless reef atolls, crystal clear lagoons, marine life, incredible light, calm anchorages and the relaxed rhythm of life at sea all combine to create something that’s hard to explain until you experience it yourself. There’s a simplicity to life onboard that people reconnect with very quickly.
Surf. Eat. Explore. Sleep. Repeat.
Over the years we’ve welcomed surfers from all around the world — Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique, Israel, France, England, Ireland, Switzerland, Portugal, Brazil, Canada, the USA and beyond. That international mix has become one of the things we’re most proud of. Lifelong friendships are formed on these trips.
Since the beginning we’ve also partnered with SUNOVA surfboards to offer a great range of high-performance Surf SUPs for hire onboard. For many guests that means travelling lighter and easier while still riding some of the best surf SUPs in the world.
At the end of the day, this was never about building a mass-market surf charter business.
It was about creating the kind of SUP surf adventure that we ourselves wanted to experience — small groups, great waves, quality equipment, flexibility, good people and a genuine connection to life on the ocean.
A decade later, that vision really hasn’t changed.
The Maldives has quietly become one of the world’s great warm-water surf destinations.
While the same Southern Ocean swells that light up Indonesia also pulse through the Maldives, the waves here are often more approachable, with long reef walls, warm water and remarkably consistent conditions throughout the season.
What makes the Maldives truly special, however, is not just the quality of the waves — it’s the freedom to explore. With the right boat, local knowledge and flexibility, it’s still possible to find yourself surfing uncrowded reef passes with only a handful of friends in the lineup.
Remote islands.
Warm water.
Endless surf.

The Three Main Surf Regions
Surf Season
April – October
Prime Swell Window
May – September
North Malé is the most established surf region in the Maldives and home to many of the country’s best-known waves. With its concentration of resorts, charter boats and surf infrastructure, it also sees the largest crowds.
When conditions align, the waves here can be exceptional — long mechanical walls, fast sections and heavy barrels wrapping across shallow reef.
South Malé offers a quieter alternative, with fewer crowds and a more relaxed pace as you move further from the capital.
—
Best Surf Season
April – October
Typical Wave Range
2–8 ft
This is where we spend the majority of our time.
The Central Atolls offer an incredible balance of consistency, variety and accessibility, with long peeling reef breaks spread across multiple atolls and exposed to a wide range of swell and wind directions.
Many of these waves are only accessible by boat, which is precisely what makes this region so special.
Rather than competing for crowded lineups, it’s often possible to surf with only a small crew trading waves across flawless reef passes in warm tropical water.
This is the Maldives experience we love most.
—
Best Surf Season
February – April
September – November
The Deep South offers a far more remote surf experience and can produce exceptional waves during the right windows.
However, stronger winds, greater travel logistics and limited SUP-friendly access make these regions less practical for most paddle surfers.
For this reason, we generally focus our attention further north, where the Central Atolls deliver more consistent and versatile conditions ideally suited to SUP surfing.
—
Why Travel The Maldives By Boat
The true luxury of a Maldives surf charter is freedom.
Freedom to move with the swell.
Freedom to avoid crowds.
Freedom to wake up anchored beside perfect waves.
With MY Adora’s range and flexibility, we’re not locked into a single resort or surf zone. Instead, we follow conditions in search of the cleanest surf, best winds and most enjoyable experience possible.
Combined with local knowledge, experienced surf guides and years of operating throughout the region, the result is a Maldives experience built around exploration, flexibility and exceptional waves.
The Maldives is more than just a surf destination.
It’s life at sea.

Designed by legendary Australian shaper Bert Burger, SUNOVA boards are renowned worldwide for their lightweight construction, smooth flex characteristics and exceptional performance across a wide range of conditions.

7 Nights vs 10 Nights or longer
SUP Surf Adventures in the Maldives
Day One — Arrival in Paradise
Your journey begins the moment you land in the Maldives.
Guests are personally greeted by a Moon Tours or MY Adora representative just outside the international arrivals area before transferring to the yacht and beginning the adventure where we have the options of surfing North and South Male Atolls on the first day, before heading further South into the Central, and even Southern Atolls.
For guests arriving the day prior, we’re happy to assist with recommended accommodation options in Malé or Hulhumalé.
Boarding typically begins late morning from Malé Airport.
Important:
Guests should arrive in the Maldives before 12:30pm on Day One. If your flight arrives later, we recommend arriving a day early to ensure a smooth start to the trip.
If late arrivals cannot be avoided – no problem, just let us know.
—
The 7 Night Experience
Our 7 Night charters typically explore the Central Atolls, often including the beautiful Meemu region when conditions align.
These shorter journeys are ideal for guests wanting an unforgettable Maldives SUP surf experience within a tighter timeframe — combining luxury yacht living, warm tropical water and access to world-class uncrowded waves.
—
The 10 Night and longer Journy’s
With additional days comes greater freedom.
Our 10 Night+ expeditions allow us to travel further south, spend longer at each region and fully follow the best swell and wind conditions available throughout the journey.
When conditions align, we may venture as far as Laamu Atoll — maximising wave opportunities while exploring some of the Maldives’ most remote and beautiful surf regions.
—
Beyond North Malé
While many surf charters remain close to the famous North Malé breaks, we generally move beyond the crowded resort zones in search of quieter, more SUP-friendly waves.
Waves such as Jailbreaks, Sultans, Cokes and Honky’s are iconic for a reason — but they can also become heavily crowded with resort surfers, day boats and charter traffic.
Instead, our focus is the Central and Southern Central Atolls.
Here, boat-access reef passes deliver long walls, clean water and significantly fewer surfers — creating the kind of relaxed, uncrowded sessions that make Maldives SUP surfing truly special.
These regions offer playful, flowing waves ideal for SUP surfing and foiling, while still delivering enough power and shape to keep experienced surfers thoroughly entertained.
—
Follow The Conditions
One of the great luxuries of travelling by private surf charter is freedom.
Freedom to move.
Freedom to change course.
Freedom to wake up beside better waves.
Our journeys are never locked into rigid schedules or fixed routes. Instead, we adapt throughout the trip to follow the best available swell, wind and surf conditions.
With MY Adora’s excellent range, experienced crew and deep regional knowledge, we can travel further than many standard charters — allowing us to escape the crowds and position ourselves where the conditions are best.
—
The Final Morning
Airport transfers are typically arranged around 9:00am on the final day, comfortably connecting with most international departures.
Flights departing after 1:00pm are generally ideal.
For guests requiring earlier departures, private speedboat transfers can usually be arranged. Late checkout options may also be available depending on the yacht schedule and group arrangements.
—

Something For Everyone
Whether you’re surfing every day, travelling with a partner or simply joining for the experience itself, every moment aboard Adora is designed around connection, exploration and relaxation.
From remote tropical islands to unforgettable sunsets at sea, the Maldives offers an experience that stays with you long after the trip ends.
Surfing may bring us here — but life aboard is what makes the journey unforgettable.
The Maldives is renowned for its pristine beaches and turquoise waters, but it’s the vibrant marine life beneath the surface that truly sets it apart. Known among divers as a hidden gem, the Maldives offers stunning coral reefs and an abundance of marine creatures that make it one of the world’s most sought-after dive destinations. With water temperatures a steady 27°C to 28°C year-round, every dive is comfortable and awe-inspiring. Onboard, our dive masters and instructor provide the opportunity to complete a try dive or full dive course in paradise. Certified divers can enjoy unlimited exploration with the support of a Nitrox-equipped Dhoni, while those who prefer to snorkel can join a guided snorkelling tour led by our expert crew. Snorkelling equipment is provided free of charge, and any diving activities or courses can be conveniently paid for at checkout. Whether you’re diving deep or staying near the surface, the Maldives’ warm waters, incredible marine life, and professional crew ensure every moment in the ocean will be unforgettable. 🌊🐠🌅
Fishing has long been the lifeblood of island nations, and the Maldives is no exception—widely regarded as one of the ‘fishiest’ places on the planet. While pelagic species are often the prime targets, the reefs and shallows are teeming with exciting game fish that will test your skills. Expect fierce encounters with Bonefish, Barracuda, Grouper, Snapper, and the king of fish, the Giant Trevally (GT)—for which heavy-duty gear is a must if you plan on hauling these beasts onto the boat.
Cruise the deep blue waters along the outer reefs, where Yellowfin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, Dolphin Fish, Wahoo, Sailfish, and Marlin roam. With the freedom to fish from all three boats and the enthusiastic support of our crew, anglers can fully embrace the thrill of fishing these bountiful waters. If you’re serious about your fishing game, bring a solid rod and plenty of your favourite lures—because out here, the big ones are waiting. 🎣🐟🌊
We have a couple of inflatable SUPs available for guests to use free of charge—perfect for a flat-water paddle, some exercise, or just fun off the back of the boat. 🏄♂️🌊
Please note: Inflatable SUPs in the Maldives take a beating. With the intense sun and heat, we’ve seen failures across multiple brands. While we aim to have them ready for your use, if they sustain damage and become unusable, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to repair them during the trip. We appreciate your understanding and will do our best to keep them available for as long as possible! ☀️🚤
Step ashore and explore the charm of a local island with a relaxing walk or run. Most islands are small and easy to navigate, featuring sandy roads and tracks that can be circled in 20-30 minutes. Be sure to bring a water bottle and a few dollars, just in case you want to grab a snack or souvenir from a local store.
To respect the local Muslim culture, women should dress modestly, covering their shoulders and knees.
Enjoy some downtime on a deserted, palm-fringed island, where you can stretch your legs with a beach stroll or run. Lay back in the sand with a good book, or do your part by collecting any plastic bottles that have washed ashore.
There’s no need to bring money here—bikinis and alcoholic beverages are welcome on uninhabited islands. Just remember to stay hydrated and bring a water bottle to keep cool under the tropical sun. ☀️🍹
Adora offers fully air-conditioned lounges with large flat-screen TVs, as well as in-room TVs for your personal enjoyment. Each TV is connected to an onboard entertainment system, showcasing a variety of movies and music. We also have a hard drive pre-loaded with movies—but feel free to bring your own USB loaded with your favourites to watch in your cabin.
Our small onboard library offers a selection of books and games to enjoy during your downtime. We also encourage book swaps, so feel free to trade a book you’ve finished for something new.
There’s always something fun to play on Adora! Our selection includes board games, playing cards, and Moon Tours favourites like Uno and Monopoly Deal. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick game or an epic showdown, there’s always friendly competition to be found on deck.
We’ve got yoga mats onboard that you’re welcome to use anytime. Stretch, bend, and find your flow wherever it feels right, whether it’s soaking up the gentle breeze on the rooftop sundeck (with options for sun or shade) or in the comfort of the air-conditioned lounge or your cabin.
Take a moment to relax, recharge, and connect, the perfect way to balance out all the excitement on your Maldives adventure. 🌊🌞
Our chef invites you into the kitchen for a hands-on experience learning how to create delicious local Maldivian dishes. Get ready to master fragrant curries, soft roti bread, and the art of fresh fish preparation.
Discover the secrets behind Maldivian spice blends that will have your taste buds dancing and bring a piece of the Maldives back to your kitchen. This is more than just a class; it’s a flavour-packed experience you won’t forget! 🌶️🥘
Bring your camera—because in the Maldives, it’s nearly impossible to take a bad photo. Whether you’re snapping turquoise waters, palm-fringed islands, vibrant sunsets, or capturing the bright culture and friendly locals, you’ll find endless inspiration to keep you engaged for hours.
Beneath the surface, marine life bursts with colour and variety, making underwater photography a must.
For adventurous photographers, surf and action shots offer another challenge. Try capturing surfers from the beach or surf boat, or if you have a waterproof camera and strong swimming skills, jump in and catch those epic in-water angles—the surfers will thank you for it! 🌊🏄♂️
Depending on our itinerary, there may be an opportunity to purchase a day pass and enjoy the luxuries of a private resort. Treat yourself to a relaxing massage, lounge by the pool, or savour a romantic private dinner with your partner—pure bliss in paradise. 🌅🍽️💆♀️
Resort day passes range from $50 to $200 USD, depending on the resort and what’s included. Availability is subject to our cruising schedule and the resort’s policies at the time.
Take a break from adventure and immerse yourself in ultimate luxury—because you deserve it! 🥂🌴
We love arranging visits to local primary schools or kindergartens, offering a wonderful way to meet the community and immerse yourself in the friendly, happy culture of the Maldives. These visits are often a highlight, providing meaningful connections with teachers and children.
If you’d like to make a donation, the kids and teachers are always grateful for sporting equipment such as tennis rackets, soccer balls, crayons, and pencils.
We encourage guests to buy supplies locally, either from a nearby island or in Malé. Not only does this support local businesses, but it also saves you the hassle of carrying items from home. Small gestures like these go a long way in making a positive impact. 🏀✏️
Meals, Snacks & Refreshments
Exceptional food is a huge part of life aboard MY Adora. From long relaxed breakfasts overlooking tropical lagoons to sunset dinners under the stars, every meal is designed to complement the experience of life in the Maldives.
Enjoy three freshly prepared meals daily, along with pre- and post-surf snacks throughout the journey. Our onboard chefs create a relaxed blend of international flavours using fresh local ingredients, tropical fruits and quality produce sourced throughout the region.
Whether you’re refuelling after a long surf session or enjoying a quiet evening onboard, dining aboard Adora is designed to feel effortless, social and indulgent.
We are also happy to accommodate dietary requirements and special occasions with advance notice.
