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.

All the Big Fish
we saw them all: Mantas, Stingrays, Eagle-Rays, Turtles, Baracudas, Napoleons, all sorts of Sharks and even a whale shark - and all in a very calm, professional and relaxing atmosphere where also beginners always felt save and experienced divers didn't feel restricted. Also room for non-divers and snorklers. Had a GREAT time!

Super well organized liveaboard with insanely great dives!
Overall, the trip was an absolute highlight. Martina, the boat manager, and her crew really take care of their guests very lovingly. In addition, Sachika is very close to their hearts. Although Sachika is a slightly older lady, she is impeccably cared for and in top condition. On board, we also try to live as environmentally friendly as possible. For example, there are glass straws and glass bottles and during our beach visit a bag of ocean plastic was collected and taken away. This is what you would really want from any safari boat! The food on board was just great. The kitchen crew was really in the kitchen all day and worked, which was also noticeable in the quality of the food. Even the dough is freshly prepared!But now to the dives: If you really want to have a very special shark experience, you should do the Deep South Tour. I have never seen so many different sharks during a diving holiday! Simply brilliant!There were all kinds of reef sharks, spinner sharks, leopard sharks, hammerhead sharks, a thresher shark and of course the huge tiger sharks, which I was particularly fond of. There was also an almost unbelievable number of green sea turtles. On one dive we saw around 25. For beginners, the dives might be a bit challenging due to strong currents and depth, but the guides take good care. One diver in our group was not quite comfortable with the currents, but the guide helped her confidently in all situations, so that she could enjoy all dives.Overall, the liveaboard was so good that I booked the next one on board, which I have never done before. I look forward to meeting Martina and her crew again in September!Jump negative think positive! :)Thank you so much for all the great experiences on board, the fun conversations and the unforgettable dives!!🫶🏻Stefanie

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!!!

Fantastic Dive Charter with Mantas and Sharks (the nice ones)
Sachika is a great diving charter. The boat has warm character and the crew make it truly special. Love the after dinner Molinari. The crew are always striving for excellence with a well thought out sunset dinner on the beach and a nightcap dive during fashion show Manta week! You will have a great time on this boat! Grazie and Arrivederci!

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!

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.
