TL

Blue Force Three is a 42-metre vessel of the Spanish Blue Force fleet, working the Maldives year-round. Twelve cabins across three decks take up to 26 guests. The interiors were completely refitted in 2018.

Diving is run from a separate dhoni that travels alongside the yacht: gear stays on the dhoni, so kitting up and breaking down never crowds the main deck. On board there is nitrox, DIN adaptors, rebreather support, a dedicated camera room with a charging station and underwater DPV scooters. Every diver carries an ENOS locator, which signals from the surface if a group loses the boat.

Inside there is an air-conditioned saloon with a lounge area and a library, a restaurant on the main deck, a bar and an open-air lounge with sofas. Three sun decks: at the bow, on the main deck and on the top deck under an awning. The galley works buffet style with local and European dishes, vegetarian and vegan options and a beach barbecue. Kayaks and a stand-up paddleboard are included.

Every cabin has individually controlled air conditioning and a private bathroom. Lower-deck cabins have portholes, main-deck cabins have windows, upper-deck cabins have panoramic windows with a sea view.

In winter the yacht heads to the deep south — Kooddoo, Addu and the equator, where the currents are strong and hammerheads and tiger sharks stop being a rarity. The rest of the year she works the central atolls and Baa, calling at Hanifaru Bay.

No mark-up

You pay the rate the operator publishes. The only thing added on top is the actual payment processing cost — no fee of ours.

We run the booking

Correspondence with the operator, holding your places, the contract, confirmation and all paperwork sit on our side. Nothing for you to arrange yourself.

Pay by card

We send you a Stripe invoice — pay by card, in your own currency, from anywhere in the world. The transfer to the operator is handled on our side.

Support in your language

We help you pick the cabin and dates, answer questions on the route and gear, and stay reachable until you are home — in English, in your time zone.

We quote the exact amount when confirming the booking: it covers the operator's rate plus the actual payment processing cost. No hidden charges.

Schedule & Pricing

Central atolls (Male — Male)

The yacht's core route, all year round. North and South Male, Ari, Rasdhoo and Vaavu — classic Maldives: manta cleaning stations, night dives with whale sharks and rays, channels with current and schools of grey reef sharks. Suitable for divers of any level, starting and finishing in Male. New Year departures run longer than usual.

Central atolls and Hanifaru (Male — Male)

The summer route towards the Baa UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The main target is Hanifaru Bay, where dozens of mantas and whale sharks gather in plankton season. Along the way — the reefs of Ari and North Male. Snorkelling in the bay itself, diving on the neighbouring reefs.

Hanifaru and the far north (Male — Male)

An extended version of the northern route, 10–11 nights. Beyond Baa and Hanifaru the yacht pushes up to Raa, Noonu and Lhaviyani — atolls a standard one-week trip never reaches. Fewer boats on the sites, more untouched reef.

Central atolls, Vaavu and Meemu (Male — Male)

A ten-night route southeast of Male. Vaavu with its famous channels and night dives with nurse sharks, Meemu with rarely visited reefs and thilas (underwater pinnacles).

Across all the atolls to the south (Male — Kooddoo / Addu)

The transit route between the centre and the deep south: seven atolls in a single trip. Departure from Male, finish in Kooddoo or Addu with a flight back — and the other way round in spring. Drift diving in the channels, grey reef sharks, mantas, schooling barracuda. Experience with current is required.

March 2027
1 departure

Southern hemisphere (Kooddoo — Addu)

The winter route across the deep south beyond the equator, for experienced divers. Huvadhoo and Addu — hammerheads, grey reef and tiger sharks, mantas and the wreck of the British tanker British Loyalty. Currents are strong, drift diving experience is essential.
