42 m · 26 guests · 14 cabins
Maldives Master is a 42-metre vessel built in 2024 and refitted in 2025. Fourteen cabins across three decks take up to 26 guests: eight convertible cabins on the lower deck, two ocean-view cabins with a double bed on the main deck and four cabins on the upper deck, two of them singles.
The ship was purpose-built for diving. Dives run not from the yacht itself but from her own 19-metre dhoni, Blue Shadow: every diver gets a dedicated station, with nitrox, showers, rinse hoses and a separate rinse tank for underwater cameras. Up to three dives a day, night dives on top of that. The crew speaks English.
Inside there is an air-conditioned saloon with a lounge area and TV, a bar, a restaurant on the main deck and a souvenir shop. The galley cooks European and Maldivian food, buffet style, with vegetarian options and snacks throughout the day. Outside there are four separate sun areas: observation platforms on the middle and upper decks, an open sun deck and an ocean deck at the stern, almost level with the water. In the evenings floodlights light up the water beside the ocean deck — plankton draws in manta rays and, now and then, whale sharks.
Every cabin has its own air conditioning control and en-suite bathroom; Superior categories have a bathtub. There is a jacuzzi on board, and the Superior and Premium Single cabins look out to sea.

Schedule & Pricing
Central Atolls (Male — Male)
The vessel's core route and by far the most frequent: North and South Male, Vaavu, Ari. High-current channels with schools of grey reef sharks, manta cleaning stations, night dives with rays. Drift diving experience required. The ten-night departures on the same route push further south and add a couple of atolls.

4 departuresCentral Atolls and Baa (Male — Male)
The same loop around the central atolls plus a run north into the Baa UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The target is Hanifaru Bay: during the plankton season, June to October, dozens of manta rays gather there, and whale sharks turn up too. These departures are scheduled for summer and early autumn only.

2 departuresCentral and Southern Atolls (Male — Gan / Kooddoo)
A transit route between the centre and the south of the archipelago: over ten nights the vessel works its way down from Male to Huvadhoo and Addu, or back up again. Both the reefs and the currents change along the way — from the calm manta cleaning stations of the centre to the powerful southern channels with grey reef sharks. One-way, with a domestic flight on the other leg.

1 departureFar South (Gan — Kooddoo)
A winter route for experienced divers between Gan and Kooddoo. Huvadhoo and Addu offer channels with grey reef sharks and hammerheads, mantas on the cleaning stations and the wreck of the British tanker British Loyalty. Some itineraries call at Fuvahmulah, where tiger sharks are seen year-round. Currents are strong — confident drift diving required.
