     With elegantly crafted curved prow, vast single sail (but with auxiliary engine), thatched roof (over a cabin of reassuring luxury) and sarong-clad crew of four, our new 19m long vessel - "Nooma" - is modelled on the traditional Maldivian sailing Dhoni. It's a Dhoni of desire for secret reef snorkelling, sunset sailing, a romantic dinner for two, overnight at a deserted island, or even for a leisurely cruise from the airport to Baros. With gourmet meals served on board by your personal butler, secluded sun deck for two in the bow, and a private saloon lounge, toilet, shower, and air-conditioned double bedroom, this is the Dhoni for the ultimate intimate cruise. And it can be yours when you stay at Baros.
