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.

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!

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..

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.

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,

Easily the best liveaboard we've been on
Overall, we had a fantastic experience on this liveaboard. The dive guides were excellent — knowledgeable, attentive and clearly committed to making sure everyone had a safe and enjoyable time underwater. I was impressed with their dedication to safety, with very clear dive briefings to tell us what to expect. The dives themselves were amazing with plenty to see (sharks, mantas, whale shark!) and the guides really helped make the most of each dive by pointing out anything of interest. You could tell that they were familiar with the dive sites and knew what to look out for. The food was also consistently good, and the crew went out of their way to make us comfortable and accommodate our needs throughout the trip. Their service and hospitality were definitely a highlight. They went above and beyond to organise a welcome happy hour, a beach BBQ (complete with a fantastic sand sculpture of a whaleshark), and even a birthday and anniversary celebration for a couple on board. The main area that could be improved is the rental dive equipment. Many of the wetsuits offered to us had holes, I was provided with mismatched fins (functionally no issue), and I had difficulty finding a mask that fitted properly without fogging or flooding. I tried at least three masks over several dives before eventually borrowing a spare from another guest. For a liveaboard where diving is the main focus, I think the rental gear would benefit from a thorough inspection and better maintenance/replacement. That said, the excellent dive guides, great diving, food and genuinely helpful crew made this a very enjoyable trip overall. Sadly, this is Sachika's last season, but we would happily come back to dive with Top Class Cruising and First Class Cruising again. Looking forward to the launch of their new boat next season!
