Highlights
The Sachika liveaboard, by Top Class Cruising, is a 33-meter/108-feet custom-built liveaboard that has been Awarded the “Best Dive Safari Boat’’by the National Boating Association of the Maldives for two editions. The Sachika has 10 cabins, including 3 suites, 1 junior suite, 4 standard double or twin cabins, and 2 twin cabins, catering to 22 guests. Each cabin has an air conditioner, en-suite bathroom, mini-bar, and private entertainment hubs. The sundeck with its jacuzzi is perfect for relaxation between dives and stargazing at night. Meals are served in the A/C restaurant, and guests can sip on some tasty cocktails while lounging on the aft deck. The trailing dhoni (a traditional Maldivian vessel) is used for diving and keeping all the tanks and compressors separate so travelers can sleep. A full snorkeling itinerary for non-divers includes activities like fishing, beach visits, and treks.
Aboard the Sachika, guests will cruise through central and deep south atolls and dive at Male Atolls, Rasdhoo, Meemu, and Ari Atolls. The cruise sets out to the south with the exploration of a trawler that sank three decades ago and became a home for the local needlefish and scorpionfish. In the western part of the atoll, it is easy to meet manta rays coming close to the reef to enjoy the many cleaning stations. The sea is rich in marine life and is full of whale sharks, scorpion fish, glassfish, reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse, green turtles, beautiful corals, dolphins, and more.

Great experience onboard of the Sachika
I had a great time during my trip to Maldives onboard the Sachika. Really tasty food, amazing crew, the boat was very comfortable. I went on the Yoga special week, it was fantastic doing yoga on pristine beaches watching the sunset and also on board. The diving planning was excellent so we almost always avoided being in crowded places. Really recommend them.

Comfortable and welcoming liveaboard experiences thrilling dives
One of the highlights was definitely the amazing dive sites that the boat took us to, where we saw all kinds of oceanic species such as manta rays, eagle rays, bull shark, guitar shark, hammer-head shark, just to name a few. Another highlight was a BBQ dinner on an uninhabited island, where they arranged a surprise celebration of my engagement with a cake! I also see that the social function that they host at night such as karaoke night and dance night made it easier to socialize with other people on the cruise and helped form great memories on the cruise.

An Unforgettable Liveaboard Experience with Top Class Cruising
I recently had the pleasure of spending seven incredible days aboard Sachika, and I can’t recommend this experience highly enough! From start to finish, the team exceeded all expectations and delivered a truly top-tier diving adventure. The cabins were spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed—exactly what you need after a full day of diving. Communication and dive briefings done by Andrea were consistently clear and professional, setting the tone for safe and enjoyable dives. The dive sites themselves were diverse and fascinating, offering something new and exciting every time we entered the water. The food was another highlight—delicious, nutritious, and perfectly suited to the energy demands of up to four dives a day. The crew made sure we were well-fed and ready to take on each day’s adventures. A special shoutout to our personal dive guide, Hassan, whose calm expertise and passion for diving truly stood out. He not only showed us the most incredible underwater sights but also made me and my husband feel completely safe and confident on every dive. When I encountered an issue with my personal dive gear mid-dive, Hassan’s calm demeanor and problem-solving skills immediately put me at ease and helped resolve the situation smoothly. This trip was an unforgettable experience filled with stunning underwater landscapes, amazing marine life, and a team that genuinely cares about providing an exceptional experience. If you’re looking for a liveaboard that delivers on all fronts, Top Class Cruising is it.

Deep South Maldives, March 2024
Well there are not enough positive words to write to explain how perfect this boat and crew are, but I will try! A live aboard experience can easily be judged by the sightings, but this is nature and not an on-call check list. Saying that, we felt our diving was phenomenal, seeing 13 different species of shark over 10 days! The crew definitely got us to the right spots and gave us the best chances of seeing what we came for (March 2024). So the boat, the crew, Martine! Incredible attention to detail in both presentation and service. Sachika is a lovely boat, clean and spacious. The rooms are some of the biggest I have experienced on a live aboard dive boat. The outdoor spaces were perfect for relaxation with plenty of good shaded area and the back deck with bar was perfect for sundowners. Every member of the crew gave 100% every day. The food was varied and catered to all dietary requirements, giving a nice balance between local and international cuisine. The home made donuts were the best! The dive instructors (Ali, Atti & Claudio) are fish in water. Exceptional spotting skills of all things big and small. Very responsible but also allowing for fun in the water. A great team! And then there is Martine, full of bubble, smiles, kindness and fun. She kept everything together and running smoothly. An absolute asset to Sachika and Top Class Cruising. Our trip was spot on in every way. No hesitation on recommending Sachika for diving (especially in the south), I hope to go back and do it all again!
