Serai, a brand-new liveaboard in the Maldives, brings together the comfort of a private resort and the freedom of life at sea. Designed for travellers who value space, privacy and the flexibility to shape every day according to their own pace, the 41.8-metre motor yacht welcomes families, groups of friends and private celebrations alike.

Her name is inspired by the ancient Persian word serai – a place of rest and hospitality where travellers would pause, gather and continue their journeys refreshed. Serai carries this spirit onto the ocean, creating a welcoming sanctuary surrounded by turquoise lagoons, secluded islands and endless horizons.

The yacht Serai accommodates up to 20 guests in ten elegant en-suite cabins, while a professional crew of 15 ensures that every aspect of life on board unfolds with effortless precision. Expansive outdoor decks, panoramic lounges, elegant indoor and alfresco dining spaces, a sundeck with an open-air Jacuzzi and modern amenities, including Wi-Fi and full air conditioning, create an atmosphere that feels relaxed, contemporary and naturally connected to the surrounding seascape. Throughout the interiors, soft neutral tones, natural wood and abundant daylight allow the colours of the Maldives to take centre stage.

Serai's signature itineraries showcase the remarkable diversity of the Maldives, cruising through North Malé, Baa, South Ari and Lhaviyani Atolls, with extended voyages venturing to more remote island groups on request. From the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll to the vibrant reefs of South Ari, each route is shaped around guests' interests, whether the focus is marine wildlife, diving, secluded beaches or simply the pleasure of unhurried cruising between turquoise lagoons.

Days on board Serai may begin with coffee on the sundeck as the first light spreads across a quiet lagoon, followed by snorkelling above vibrant coral reefs or diving alongside manta rays and reef sharks from the yacht's dedicated dive boat. Glass-bottom kayaks reveal the underwater world from above, while stand-up paddleboards, wakeboards, Yamaha WaveRunners and a unique jet car invite guests to experience the ocean from entirely different perspectives. Families are equally well catered for, with child-friendly activities, attentive crew and carefully considered safety features ensuring every generation can enjoy life on the water.

Evenings unfold at a gentler rhythm. A private tender carries Serai guests to deserted sandbanks for sunset dinners, beach barbecues or intimate celebrations beneath the stars before returning to the yacht for a peaceful night at anchor. Spa treatments, a deck Jacuzzi and inviting lounge areas offer space to unwind after a day of exploration, while the chef creates seasonal menus inspired by the freshest seafood and local flavours.

Clients of the Maldivian Charter Club were looking forward to the launch of Serai and had already made their bookings.

Every voyage aboard Serai unfolds at its own rhythm, shaped by the sea, the seasons and the interests of those on board. It is an invitation to experience the Maldives with unhurried freedom, where the finest moments are often the simplest.
