Question 1

How do I book a ferry crossing?

Use the search bar to pick your departure and arrival islands, choose a travel date, and select the number of passengers. Compare available departures, sign in when you are ready to confirm, and complete the reservation—your booking details land in your inbox and in My Trips.

Question 2

Which islands and atolls do you serve?

Waves connects destinations across the Maldives — from Malé, Hulhumalé, and Maafushi to dozens of resort islands and local atolls. We partner with trusted ferry operators so the routes you see are the ones actually running.

Question 3

Are your prices competitive?

Yes. We work directly with operators to show transparent fares with no hidden fees. You'll see the full price upfront, and travel classes such as Premium, Standard, and Window come from each operator's live schedule.

Question 4

After booking, you'll get a confirmation with terminal and boarding details. You can also open My Trips in your account to review upcoming crossings and boarding information.

Question 5

Can I bring luggage on the ferry?

Accepted Answer

Most operators allow standard luggage, but limits vary by vessel and route. Check with the operator listed on your booking confirmation if you are carrying oversized bags or special equipment.

Question 6

Do I need an account to book?

Accepted Answer

You can search routes and compare departures without signing in. To complete a booking or manage a charter request, you will need a free Waves account — we ask you to sign in at checkout so your ticket and trip history stay in one place.

Question 7

How do I change or cancel a booking?
