Every liveaboard we are willing to put our name on.

For more than 22 years, the well-maintained and annually renovated 32-meter-long, 10-meter-wide white diving safari vessel AMBA has been cruising the Maldives.

A 36-metre wooden boat with ten cabins for about twenty divers, three of them set up as honeymoon cabins, which tells you the kind of trip the operator has in mind: diving-led but not spartan.

Horizon-2 Surf Safari is operated by Blue Horizon Pvt.

Four divemasters for 24 guests is a one-to-six ratio, which is better than most Maldives boats manage and the main reason to choose this one.

Built in black ironwood by Kojo carpenters from South Sulawesi, which is the traditional way and the reason the boat looks the way it does.

Crafted to meet the rigorous standards of the International Integrity Stability Standard for yachts surpassing 46-metres, M/Y Black Pearl was constructed using only the finest materials and outfitted with the latest in navigation, safety, and scuba diving systems and equipment.

The 2026 Indonesian sister to White Pearl: 48 metres of aluminium, ten cabins for twenty guests, three tenders, two bars, a whirlpool, a spa and a gym.

At 56 metres this is closer to a small cruise ship than a dive boat, and the operator runs it that way: free nitrox, a six-metre jacuzzi, a gym, a spa and a proper camera room.

A wide, stable steel hull that handles the Brothers crossing better than most of the Egyptian fleet, with a dive deck laid out so twenty-six divers do not collide.

The wooden hull was refitted in 2025 and it shows in the cabins, but the reason to book is the route list: this boat runs everything from the northern wrecks to St John's, including the ten-night Ultimate Red Sea that strings the marine parks together.

Sixteen divers, two tenders, two guides and a hull built low and heavy so the crossing to Wolf and Darwin is less punishing than it could be.

A 47-metre ironwood and teak boat launched in 2022 that follows the season across Indonesia: Komodo, Raja Ampat, the Banda Sea, Alor, the Forgotten Islands.

Launched in 2024 with a purpose-built 19-metre dhoni called Blue Shadow, so the diving happens off a boat designed for it while the mothership stays a hotel.

Forty-five metres and five decks for 32 guests, which makes it one of the biggest boats on the Red Sea and one of the cheapest per night for what you get.

Four cabins, eight guests, and a boat that moves around Indonesia through the year instead of sitting in one park.

The X stands for exclusive, and the operator means the fit-out: thirteen cabins on a 40-metre hull launched in 2024, pitched as the flagship of the Maldives Legend fleet.

The newest of the Maldives Legend boats, launched in 2024 as an expedition yacht rather than a dive boat with cabins bolted on.

The 2025 sister to Rocio del Mar, slightly longer and wider, with both built-in and external stabilisers, which on the Socorro crossing is not a detail.
