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.

Dream stay in total disconnection
All the crew members took great care of us, having at heart that our stay went perfectly. Available and always smiling. Incredible dives: the choice of dive sites very judicious, the impression of being alone despite the number of tourists. The concern for the preservation of the place, always diving with respect for the sites. The richness of the proposals: BBQ or sea bass on an island, information on the species encountered (manta rays, sharks...), information on the country.... In the evening, snorkeling with a whale shark, manta rays, sharks,

Fantastic boat and crew. Insanely good diving
Had an amazing week on Sachika back in 2019. At the time I said it was the best liveaboard I had ever been on. 7 years later and I still agree. Everyone one of the crew, from dive guides to bartender to chef and dhoni crew went above and beyond. Can’t say how grateful I am to them for making it such an incredible week. I did the Best of Maldives trip and it was all they say it will be. From the night dive with all the rays and nurse sharks. Mantas and whale sharks. The diving is diverse and the fish life is thriving. Top notch boat. Am looking to book again. Hope to see you soon Martina!-and hopefully some of the old crew are still around as well.

Best of Central Maldives - an all-round super experience!
Sachika is a 20 year old boat but has more than enough amenities and space to satisfy for a week of diving, which is what you are there for [fantastic marine life presentations onboard added to the interest and value of the dives - which can be considered high praise from someone who has delivered countless presentations working as a diver]. Most importantly was the attention to detail regarding safety, quality of diving/guides and the service from all staff; which was absolutely outstanding - starting with Martina taking care of me at the airport [Martina actually works on Princess Maani] to the attention to detail on the dives & support from crew on the dive dhoni. Service crew onboard were wonderful & even if we had not seen the incredible marine life we did on most of the dives [more than one 12+ fever of eagle ray, dozens of sharks & the amazing Manta ray experiences on four of the dives], they would have made the trip worthwhile. Great set of fellow guests/divers onboard for my trip & super atmosphere. Special mention must be given to Moksh, Hassan and Luigi who are outstanding people and boat manager/dive guides - 'No problem!'

The crew on board Sachika are totally committed to ensuring you have the best Maldives' experience possible - I couldn't recommend them more highly.
This was our 3rd liveaboard dive cruise in the Maldives and by far our best one. The crew went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience, both above and below the water. A fantastic week!

- Our guide was like a human GPS. He was brilliant at reading the local conditions and knowing all the great spots.. Safety - the boat director ensured that everything on board and under water was handled with the highest safety standards in mind, without compromising the flow of the experience.. The crew - they were all great. Happy, attentive and professional..

Great crew, good diving and plenty of grey reef sharks. We didn’t get very lucky with the mantas, but we did see them. The food was tasty, although a little repetitive. The boat is older, but overall
We had a great time on the liveaboard in the Maldives. The crew was fantastic, friendly and always helpful. We weren’t particularly lucky with the manta encounters, but we did see them, and there were plenty of grey reef sharks around, which was amazing. The food was tasty overall, although it became a little repetitive after a few days. The boat is definitely on the older side, but we were told that the company is planning to replace it with a newer one soon. Overall, a great diving trip with an excellent crew and some memorable underwater experiences.

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.

BEST LIVEABOARD EXPERIENCE EVER
GREAT experience that we will repeat for sure!! The Sachika staff and dive instructors did their best all the time and made our trip just easy, comfortable, and unforgettable. The boat is nice, clean and offers different spaces to accommodate the needs of each one of the passengers at any time (an upper deck to sunbathe, spa with views, a middle deck with a bar and chill out space, etc). Also rooms are spacious and have nice extras such as soap, hairdryer or towels for the shower and for the beach. The food is fresh and has a perfect Italian style. Also for every meal we all had plenty of it and with a great variety. We chose the central route because of the diversity in dives and the large number of different species that one can spot in the different dive sites. We were not lucky at all with the whale shark, but we had other amazing encounters with reef sharks, nurse sharks (the night dive at the Alimatha Jetty is just crazy), mantas, and many other animals (rays, turtles, tunas, napoleons, etc). Extra dives are highly recommended and they do not throw your money away at all. Visibility was great (we went during the first week of April) and currents were not so strong or there were no currents at all. We rent most of the equipment, which was pretty well, and used Nitrox for all our dives. We had sun every day and really felt like being in paradise! The activities apart from diving were also nice and well-organized and we enjoyed every minute of them. We could not mind repeating the exact same route at all! Really, we highly recommend you book your trip with Sachika! You will feel the difference.

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.
