Launched in 2004, the 33-metre Conte Max pioneered the concept of combining the rejuvenating Maldivian scenery and onboard Ayurvedic treatments with action-packed diving. Catering to both divers and non-divers alike, with high standards of hospitality and comfort, this vessel was one of the first to offer a worthy alternative to the iconic Maldivian island resort experience. Thanks to its increasingly refined cuisine, meticulous attention to detail, and team of dedicated staff that have developed alongside the vessel itself, Conte Max has become one of the best known and most loved yachts within the Maldives.

This outstanding liveaboard is managed by one of the most experienced operators in the country, Luxury Yacht Maldives. With more than 30 years of experience, Luxury Yacht Maldives guarantees high standards of professionalism and is well-known for taking luxury cruises to new levels. A small massage centre specialised in Ayurvedic treatments is always on hand to guide guests through the art of simple relaxation with yoga, meditation and massage. And, when it comes to diving, the accompanying dhoni provides everything you need for safe underwater adventures, including professional crew, scuba courses, nitrox, and rebreather assistance.
