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.

A simple and beautiful journey into underwater life
There are no extravagant or fashionable facilities or activities. Simply diving to see marine life, eating well, sleeping well, and not chasing animals or interfering with their behavior is the most enjoyable and responsible journey. Thanks to Sachika for doing this for us.

Always beyond our best expectations
In our trip in Sachika boat, everything went perfect but the weather. Giacomo and the dive masters were the best: kind, helpful, and very professional. They take care of every small problem with a smile, making us feel at home from the first day The ship is in peak condition, so clean, and taken care off that it looks new. Much better than pictures, where usually is the contrary. Cabin was big and clean, with plenty space and an comfortable individual bathroom, also carefully cleaned. And food, food was amazing. Every meal was a buffet with plenty of choices, although since all were delicious, you usually end up eating much more than anticipated. Overall, when I come back to Maldives, I’ll definitely will be back with Giacomo and his crew. Thank you very much for the best diving week of our lives.

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.

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!

So much fun!
Every dive was a shark dive! It was amazing. The boat is fantastic, with lots of space to relax and excellent cabins. The crew was always helpful when we needed them. The food was good, the dining area was nice, and the hangout spots were good too. Just wish the hot tub was hot.
