CHARACTER OF FAUNO BOAT - FINOLHU

Faunu is about exploration of the best in Maldives. We like to improvise, excite, and surprise. We like to keep up to date modernity with a touch of a laid back flair. And we enjoy giving a service that is a little bit beyond expectation.

All meals including breakfast, lunch, high tea and dinner on board are served buffet style. Our meals fit international standard, with the *freshest ingredients available*, including fresh fish caught on your trip of course. The meals are served in the spacious and comfortable dining area on the restaurant deck. The bar is opposite the dining area, where you can chill and sip on your favorite alcohol beverage.

You could also catch your own fish and ask our chef to cook it for you on the beach *grill on a deserted island*, serve with authentic Maldivian food and live boduberu music. All day complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits are available for those opting to chill on the deck for a while.

You have got to snack and eat Maldivian style in between those surfs. Remember to ask about the *mouth freshening follow up to every meal – *the dhufun with betel leaves, areca nuts and sweet spices. Or try the coconuts, dried fish and dates, the perfect Maldivian snack to munch on while you cruise from one location to another.

Diving
If your are diving in Maldives, you will probably come across many sites named falhu, kandu, or thila. All of these are local names describing a reef, deep blue, or maybe a lagoon. *Faunu boats will take you on a treasure hunt* to explore and experience these beauties.

Fishing
Faunu can combine a fishing trip somewhere along your holiday schedule, whether you are on a diving, surfing, cruising, or a business trip, it does not matter. Here is what we do: We will pack some coconuts, dried fish and dates – not as bait for fish, but as perfect Maldivian snacks for those fishing. We will set off for a sunset fishing trip around 5 pm, on a bright sunny day. While your cruisers take in the changing colors of the setting sun, we find the perfect spot to drop the anchor. The captain instructs you how to use the lines, hooks, and sinkers given to you on board. By sunset we are all settled. Simply drop your lines and wait for the nibble of a grouper, snapper, emperor, jack, squirrelfish, or barracuda and start catching. In an hour and half, you will have more than enough reef fish o fill the barbeque grill set up by our boats o that deserted island you see on your right.

Cruising
This is one thing many Maldivians do best. Ask anyone who has visited an island inhabited by local people and the one thing they have probably noted unconsciously is that Maldivians are cruisers, both on land and water. Rushing is not really our thing. Cruising with Faunu boats is learning about Maldives, in an unhurried yet concerned fashion. We take time to notice all the treasures around us, by travelling from island, snorkeling from reef to reef, meeting people in local villages, and taking care of our beautiful surroundings. At the same time we are happy to let you choose to spend one whole day on a deserted island doing nothing but discovering at your own pace.
