Hello to all forumer ! This is my trip to maldives onboard Nooraanee last year ago. Really hope i can go to maldives again for next fishing safari.
Arrive at Male International Airport
Around 10.00 pm (local maldives time) we arrived in the Maldives Male Airport. We are facing some difficulties with the Maldives Immigrations keep asking us what hotel where we were going to stay. We explain that we want to take a boat to fishing & we were not staying at the hotel but the Immigrations not allowed us to pass security check point. Until a representative of the craft Nooraanee 2 arrive & explain to them then we were allowed to go out from immigration door and collected the goods. Then we boarded a boat watertaxi to us who will take a berth. Approximately half an hour later we arrived at the boat. Crew boats unload our luggage into the boat. After storing our luggage in the room, we also serve with a welcome drinks.

Day 1
We got up early morning from our bed. 1st boat captain Ibrahim had been arrived at the boat. We talked about our trips who would be confronted. Ibrahim suggested that we sail to the northern part of Maldives because of the relatively strong winds on southern maldives during the whole trip. While heading to our first spot who served with breakfast. We are quite odd because we have been never entertained by the waiter and in a boat.
