Sachika is an Italian owned and operated luxury liveaboard offering both charter and open cabin voyages to many of the best sites in the Maldives. Built specifically for diving, this elite vessel was awarded Best Dive Safari 2018 at the Maldives Boating Awards. Luxury is part of every aspect of Sachika’s design, with lavish features including a massage room, sun deck Jacuzzi, and an impressive bar. Sachika’s four wide decks are elegantly furnished and provide ample space for all guests. And, with multiple relaxation areas, guests can easily find a spot to suit their mood – sunny, sociable, or secluded.

Sachika’s impressive comfort continues to the diving, which is done from a spacious 19 metre dhoni with plenty of space for all divers. The vessel’s cruise director and onboard marine biologist ensures every experience is both exciting and enriching. Like the main vessel, Sachika’s diving dhoni offers several deluxe perks including 13.5-litre tanks as standard and underwater scooter rental.

Onboard Sachika

At 33-metres long, this wooden-hulled motor yacht can comfortably accommodate up to 22 guests in outstanding comfort. Sachika’s ten cabins all feature an ensuite bathroom, air-conditioning and mini-bar. Meals are served buffet-style in the air-conditioned restaurant which also features a convenient coffee corner. The spacious salon boasts a large 40inch TV, perfect for displaying the day’s diving footage. Outside, guests will find a lounge area at the bow, and a sumptuous sundeck with Jacuzzi and shower area at the stern. And, for maximum relaxation, head to the Captain’s Deck lounge for a refreshing beverage and amazing panoramic views. Activities such as snorkelling, fishing, kayaking and trekking are also available.

Diving from Sachika

At least three dives are offered every day from Sachika’s 19-metre luxury dhoni, with plenty of space for everyone. Full equipment rental is available, including dive computers and torches, and nitrox can be provided at an additional cost. Underwater photographers will appreciate the abundance of charging ports on board this vessel and dedicated camera rinse tanks. PADI courses from bubblemaker to rescue diver can be organised by the instructors, as well as a variety of speciality certifications.
