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.

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!'

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.

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.

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.

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!

The trip was great! In addition to all the great dives, the food was phenomenal, and they brought us to several uninhabited islands.
