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.

Good overall
This is my first dive trip. The room was clean. Food was delicious. We see manta, shark... Its amazing. However, Divers' abilities vary greatly. We have people within 20dives, but also people that are instructor level. Making it difficuit to dive with people with simular level. But overall the dives are grate and it was a once in a lifetime experience.

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..

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.

The diving, the food, the other guests. GREAT WEEK!
This was our 6th live-board and every time we look forward to a week full of diving, good food and meeting other divers with their stories and experiences. The Sachika is a pleasant boat with a service-oriented crew where our expectations were met. The weather conditions were not ideal, but the tour leader responded to this cleverly. Despite sometimes strong winds, clouds and strong waves, we were able to dive 20 beautifully. Highlights for us were the night dive with plankton-eating mantas and the night dive with hunting sharks and tuna. This trip we saw many mantas, various species of sharks, octopuses, turtles, the Fesdu wreck and beautiful reefs. As a bonus, we count the beach BBQ. We still don't know how the crew got all the honoring and drinking to the small island so quickly and unscathed. It was fantastic!The kitchen team is the linchpin of the boat anyway. All dishes were delicious and very varied. Two more top players: the captain of the Sachika and that of the Dhoni. It is an art to pick up divers from the water under these conditions and keep the big boat on course. Also worth mentioning are the lectures about mantas, sharks etc on board.We had cabin 9 on the upper deck. Wonderfully spacious, sea view, large bathroom and twice daily cleaning. Pure luxury.A week of diving with the Sachika: you look forward to it for a long time and you think back to it with a big smile.Thanks to the crew from week 9-16 May 2026. You guys are amazing!!!

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.

First liveaboard experience and Sachika was awesome
The dive guides were amazing. Martina was my guide and she is just the very best. Good dive sites. Saw a lot of rays and sharks. I m vegetarian and food was never a problem. Visited during covid times and the crew ensured that we didn't have to worry about safety.
