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.

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.

Awesome tour of Maldivian central atolls
Great views of the animals despite limited visibility, almost horizontal rain, strong wind and occasionally leaking ship.

Trip of a Lifetime
I had one of the best trips of my life with the Top Class Crusing company. It was such a treat to wake up every day in the Maldives and be able to go diving. The boat was immaculate and the staff were out of this world. I enjoyed every second, could not recommend enough. I plan on going back again in 2026 because I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of the diving and the team.

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.

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 !

Super well organized liveaboard with insanely great dives!
Overall, the trip was an absolute highlight. Martina, the boat manager, and her crew really take care of their guests very lovingly. In addition, Sachika is very close to their hearts. Although Sachika is a slightly older lady, she is impeccably cared for and in top condition. On board, we also try to live as environmentally friendly as possible. For example, there are glass straws and glass bottles and during our beach visit a bag of ocean plastic was collected and taken away. This is what you would really want from any safari boat! The food on board was just great. The kitchen crew was really in the kitchen all day and worked, which was also noticeable in the quality of the food. Even the dough is freshly prepared!But now to the dives: If you really want to have a very special shark experience, you should do the Deep South Tour. I have never seen so many different sharks during a diving holiday! Simply brilliant!There were all kinds of reef sharks, spinner sharks, leopard sharks, hammerhead sharks, a thresher shark and of course the huge tiger sharks, which I was particularly fond of. There was also an almost unbelievable number of green sea turtles. On one dive we saw around 25. For beginners, the dives might be a bit challenging due to strong currents and depth, but the guides take good care. One diver in our group was not quite comfortable with the currents, but the guide helped her confidently in all situations, so that she could enjoy all dives.Overall, the liveaboard was so good that I booked the next one on board, which I have never done before. I look forward to meeting Martina and her crew again in September!Jump negative think positive! :)Thank you so much for all the great experiences on board, the fun conversations and the unforgettable dives!!🫶🏻Stefanie
