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 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!!!

Surprising
It was the rainy season durying I was on a liveaboard in the Maldives, the weather was unfortunately not very great. However, this made me appreciate the crew's professionalism that they were able to arrange different itineraries to handle various unexpected situations and patiently explained the reasons to us. Although the boat is a bit old, there were many thoughtful and heartwarming details on board, such as a notebook for recording guest notes and itineraries, which I found very interesting. Furthermore, the crew took great care of us. Although the water was a bit milky during the dive trip, we unexpectedly saw hammerhead sharks and bull sharks, which was a pleasant surprise.

See above.
This was a great trip. The weather conditions were challenging, often with rainy and windy conditions, but the crew adjusted the schedule so that we got the most out of our trip. Given the conditions, the diving was excellent with a variety of abundant marine life including sharks, turtles, octopus, and reef fishes. Absolute highlights were the two night dives with mantas and sharks. Seeing mantas that close up and personal was an experience of a lifetime. Fortunately, the weather conditions allowed for a fantastic barbecue on the beach under a start-light sky with awesome food, drinks, and a sand sculptured whale shark! All in all a great experience!

- Diving, especially the two night dives with mantas and sharks were awesome!. Friendly and accommodating crew, excellent food, great atmosphere, good dive briefings, and several very informative presentations about marine life.. Good accommodations and service. The barbecue on the beach was a non-diving trip highlight..

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!

Sachika is a great liveaboard
I had an amazing experience. I have been on liveaboards all over the world and this was one of my favorites in terms of the dive itinerary. The ship was well kept, the staff was friendly and helpful (esp. Hassan & Bebe), and the food was amazing. We also had a lovely mix of divers from all over the world and I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my trip!
