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 the central and deep south atolls and dive at the Malé 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, home to whale sharks, scorpionfish, glassfish, reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse, green turtles, beautiful corals, dolphins, and more.

Great first Liveaboard with Unforgettable Crew
My husband and I had such an amazing time on the Sachika! Mox runs a very efficient, fun, real and stress free operation. The food was so good I probably gained weight over the week despite the number of dives we did! The crew constantly makes sure there is fresh fruit, snacks available after afternoon dives; meals are perfectly timed and always had a variety of fresh vegetables, carbs, vegetarian meals, and phenomenal fresh fish or meat. 10/10 couldn’t ask for better meals to keep our energy up! The bar is so cute an and quaint; great selection of options. Every day our beds were made and a great smelling room scent sprayed to keep everything feeling refreshed and cleaned. So nice coming back from an afternoon dive to. The dives were great despite a terrible weather week! We saw plenty of micro and pelagic marine animals and a variety of reef and coral. Our dive groups were paired appropriately based on experience and the guides were knowledgeable and confident. They helped me greatly as a newer diver to adjust my weights and trim, as well as continue refining my buoyancy and curiosity in the water. We had the occasional class on board taught by Luigi and Mox — Mox is insanely knowledgeable about the country, its marine life, and ethical conservation efforts. 10/10 The Dhoni crew was out of this world. Constantly making sure our gear was good to go, helping with any issues, making sure we were in and out of the water on time / appropriately. Had snacks for us on the boat several times after dives. Overall really couldn’t express how much care is taken by the crew to make sure every diver has a completely relaxed, fun and beautiful experience on the Sachika. We felt like every detail was thought of and while the boat is a little on the older side and weather was a bit of a downer, we still found time for. BBQ island event, a beach trip, and the rooms and boat stayed immaculately clean. Would book with Sachika again in a heartbeat!

This was a great trip. The weather conditions were challenging, often with rainy and windy conditions, but the crew adjusted the schedule so that we got the most out of our trip. Given the conditions, the diving was excellent with a variety of abundant marine life including sharks, turtles, octopus, and reef fishes. Absolute highlights were the two night dives with mantas and sharks. Seeing mantas that close up and personal was an experience of a lifetime. Fortunately, the weather conditions allowed for a fantastic barbecue on the beach under a start-light sky with awesome food, drinks, and a sand sculptured whale shark! All in all a great experience!

- Diving, especially the two night dives with mantas and sharks were awesome!. Friendly and accommodating crew, excellent food, great atmosphere, good dive briefings, and several very informative presentations about marine life.. Good accommodations and service. The barbecue on the beach was a non-diving trip highlight..

dolce vita
It is an Italian boat so exceptional friendliness impeccable hotel service comfortable cabin and real care given to the comfort of the guests and abundant and delicious Italian food. The chef is an excellent cookWe were 6 non-divers and we were able to rest and snorkel on a deserted island almost every dayIn addition, the crew members are wonderful fishermen and we went fishing with them with the donhy, resulting in 45 kilograms of fish = fresh fish at every meal. Giaccomo, the dive master, solves all problems with kindness and efficiencyIn short, la dolce vita

Great diving in crazy weather
We had an amazing time aboard Sachika, despite some challenges with the weather. Although we were unable to follow our planned schedule around the Maldives and it seemed that the mantas had left Baa Atoll—with all the cleaning stations and even Hanifaru Bay being manta-free—the crew went above and beyond to make our trip special. In the end, we were thrilled to experience not just the excitement of Manta encounters but also the incredible thrill of whale shark sightings, both while snorkeling and diving.
- Recommended for
- Countless mantas, whale sharks, 10 species of shark, turtles, etc.... crew willing to go extra mile. comfortable cabins with the largest bathroom I have ever seen on any boat.
