 Uligamu : Profile
This northernmost island of the Maldives has become a popular stopover for yachts en route from Sri Lanka to the Red Sea.
Clearance is now possible here and the authorities are reported to be very welcoming. Arriving yachts should call Customs on VHF 16.
For visiting yachts who wish to purchase fuel, water, provisions or repairs etc. and who are not carrying any passengers, the charges for a short stay are very reasonable.
There is a $4 anchoring fee which covers you for up to 15 days. No agent is required for stays up to 72 hours. For stays of 3 - 15 days the agent's fee is currently $20. See Maldives/Clearance for more details.
To visit any other island, or any other atoll, you must obtain an Inter-Atoll Cruising Permit. You will need to engage an Male agent for this and it takes a few days to arrange, through the local agent.
There are strict restrictions on visiting ashore: visitors may not go ashore between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., no alcohol may be taken ashore, women must be properly dressed, and no islanders may board a boat.

Anchor in 5m in clear sand just NW of a new harbour breakwater on the west side of the island, or further off in greater depths. If the wind is coming from the NW you should anchor off the south east side of the island.
