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.

Excellent trip !
I really enjoy all dives - very different from each other even if most of these were channel dives. I recommend this dive trip going to South - most of dives are only with Sachika divers. The crew is very nice and the dive guides know very well the spots. The boat is very comfortable - I was in a twin room and got a lot of space in comparison to other liveboards. And of course the diving here is great !

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.

Amazing first liveaboard experience!!!
I had the best first liveaboard experience I could've asked for. I checked many different boats before I booked Sachika and I'm so glad I booked the trip with Sachika. The crew performs outstandingly behind the scenes and you don't even notice them. You come from a dive, breakfast, lunch or dinner are ready. You come from another dive and some snacks are prepared and your room is done. The diving was amazing with Bea, Andrea, Athi and all the other awesome guides I missed now. Andrea helped me to fix my long term breathing problem, like no other dive instructor could help me before in the last dives I did. He also helped me fix my feet with bandaides, after I got some hurting spot from the fins.About the diving: I had the most wonderful experience of my whole life becuase of the Manta night dive. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!Furthermore we saw tons of sharks, even 2x Whalesharks!! The diving was great overall and I always felt safe with the equipment and the instructors/guides. Also we had great people on the boat and we were a great group. Thank you so much for everything! Loved it 100%

Brilliant from start to finish, truly Manta madness etched in my precious memories, thankyou.
Everything was brilliant, so impressed as nothing was overlooked including very informative dive briefings with great images of dive sites. Had daily yoga which was brilliant and helped my sore muscles after diving. Two beach BBQs which were spectacular, crew cooked up a great feed. Dives were all impressive saw so much including my 2 favourites manta n sharks. Great crew very helpful and friendly. Whole experience was just amazing and will etch a huge memory for my husband and I.

A dream
I'm still flashed!Despite the not so good weather, the crew gave everything and gave us a wonderful trip, which got even better from day to day until you didn't want to go home. The dives were super organized, the guides professional, the crew on the Doni super helpful and nice, the crew on the boat itself was also super friendly and professional and the people in the kitchen just rounded off my vacation perfectly. I really have nothing to complain about.Hope that one day I can be a guest with you again.Thank you for this unforgettable time

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.
