Vilu Speed Ferry Male to Himmafushi and Huraa, six sailings a week each way
Jetty number 6, Male

Male to Himmafushi and Huraa, on a timetable that is true

Three boats, six sailings a week each way, and a late express on four evenings. Every seat is counted, so a boat that shows as full is full.

Sailings

Pick a route and a sailing

Booking takes the seat off the boat straight away. Nothing is paid here and you settle at the counter.

What a ticket gets you

Nothing to print and nothing to collect. Say the reference at the counter.

Families seated together

Allocated first, before anything else, on every boat.

Twenty kilos included

One bag up to twenty kilos and one small bag, on every daytime sailing.

Three hours to cancel

Free up to three hours before. A sailing we cancel is refunded in full or moved, your choice.

Commuters and visitors

I take the quarter past six four times a week and have done for six years. It has left late twice and both times somebody messaged me first.

S Shifaz A Himmafushi

Booked two seats from the airport on my phone, walked to the counter, said a reference and paid. No queue, no paper, no trying to find out whether the boat even ran that day.

H Hanna P Finland

Four of us with a two year old and they seated us together without being asked, on a full Friday boat. That is not nothing.

Before you travel

Asked at the counter every day

Do I pay on this website

No. Booking takes the seat off the sailing straight away and you get a reference by message. You pay at the counter before boarding, in cash or by transfer.

A transfer sent the night before is fine. The reference is your receipt either way.

Can I choose my seat

Not online. Seats are numbered on the boat and given out at the jetty in booking order, with families and anybody travelling with a small child seated together first.

If you want the front, which is drier, or the back, which moves less, ask at the counter and we will do it if the boat allows.

How early should I be at the jetty

Twenty minutes. The jetty is narrow, loading forty eight people with bags takes time, and the boat leaves on the timetable rather than when everybody has arrived.

We have held a boat for a hospital case. We do not hold it for anything else.

What if I cancel

More than three hours before the sailing, nothing. Inside three hours, or not arriving, is charged in full, because that seat could have gone to somebody standing at the counter.

If we cancel, your ticket moves to the next boat at no charge or the money comes back in full. You choose.

How much luggage can I bring

One bag up to twenty kilos and one small bag, included in the fare. More than that is charged by the piece at the counter and goes on subject to space.

The late express is one bag each and no cargo. It is a small boat and there is genuinely nowhere to put it.

Can you carry a surfboard or a bicycle

Yes, on the daytime sailings, for a flat charge per item, strapped down at the back under a cover. Say so when you book so the space is kept.

Boards over seven foot are fine on the big boats and awkward on the small one, so take a morning sailing if you are carrying one.

Book a seat for the morning boat

Be at the jetty twenty minutes before. The boat leaves on time and it does not wait.

Cargo, charters and groups

We reply to every message. Leave a phone number if you would rather we called.
