Ritrella Cruise Hotel · 58m / 190ft
The Floating Hotel
A 58-Metre Cruise Hotel.
Entirely Private. Completely Yours.
The Ritrella Cruise Hotel is not a yacht in the conventional sense. At 58 metres with 25 en-suite cabins across four decks, she is a fully self-contained floating hotel — capable of hosting 50 guests for a day, a long weekend, or a full week at sea. Saltwater pool. Certified dive center. Two bars. Full restaurant. Jet ski, paddleboards, and Starlink WiFi. Big game fishing is available as an additional option. What sets Ritrella apart for resort partners is what she doesn't come with: a fixed programme. She's a blank canvas. Your catering, your décor, your watersports offering — on the largest private vessel in the Maldives.

The Resort Proximity Anchorage is Ritrella's most powerful partnership model. We sail to your resort, anchor within reach, and hand you the keys. What happens next is entirely up to you.
Your brand. Your catering. Your watersports programme. On the Maldives' largest private vessel. We provide the yacht, the captain, and the crew. You bring everything else.

What You'll Actually Do

Diving & Snorkeling
Certified dive center with dive master on board. Reef sharks, manta rays, pristine coral. Guided dives for beginners and experienced divers alike.
Eat, Drink, Repeat
Onboard chef serving whatever you want. Western, eastern, or fusion. Two bars with premium spirits flowing all day. Or we set up a barbecue on a private sandbank.
Water Sports
Jet ski across the lagoon, paddleboard through turquoise channels, kayak to uninhabited islands. Big game fishing is also available on our dedicated fishing boat at an additional charge — ask us when booking.
Relax on Four Decks
Pool deck, sun deck, restaurant deck, top deck. Find your spot and stay there. Or don't. That's the beauty of having 58 meters of yacht to yourself.
Island Hopping
Visit sandbanks, local fishing villages, and hidden picnic spots only accessible by boat. Your captain knows every secret in the atolls.
Celebrations
Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, corporate events. Four decks of event space with full catering and a crew that makes it happen.

Real Guests, Real Days
Don't Take Our Word for It
"We booked the full day for my 40th birthday. 30 of us. The crew treated everyone like royalty. The chef made this incredible seafood lunch, we went diving in the morning, and then the sandbank BBQ at sunset… absolute dream day."Kate R., Birthday Charter (30 guests)
"Used Ritrella for our company offsite. Having the meeting in the restaurant, then jet skiing and diving in the afternoon? Try getting that kind of engagement at a hotel conference room. Best team-building money we've spent."Mark S., Corporate Day Charter (25 guests)
"The diving alone was worth it. Reef sharks, mantas, unreal visibility. Then you come back to a yacht with a pool and a chef cooking lunch. It's just ridiculous how good this day was."David & Lena, Couples Day Charter
"Our wedding charter was everything. 35 guests, canapés on the pool deck, ceremony on the top deck as the sun went down. The crew handled everything. We just showed up and got married."Priya & James, Wedding Charter
