40 m · 26 guests · 13 cabins
Spirit of Maldives is a 40-metre vessel built in 2024 — one of the newest boats in the Maldivian dive fleet. Thirteen cabins across three decks take up to 26 guests: seven on the lower deck, two on the main deck and four on the upper deck. Every cabin has its own bathroom with hot water, individually controlled air conditioning, a safe, a wardrobe, a hair dryer and toiletries; on the main and upper decks the portholes give way to full-wall panoramic windows.
The vessel was purpose-built for diving. Dives run from a dedicated 20-metre dhoni, while the yacht keeps a shaded dive deck with rinse hoses and a separate tank for underwater camera gear. Nitrox is included in the price — refills and tanks cost nothing extra — and DIN adaptors are on board. Night dives are included as well.
Up top there is a sun deck with loungers and a jacuzzi, an observation deck and outdoor showers; the main deck has a teak stern with sofas, a bar and an air-conditioned saloon with a library of books and documentaries. There is a camera station with charging points. The galley works à la carte, and the programme includes beach BBQs, marine biology talks and guided walks through local villages. Internet is Starlink, charged separately.
The itineraries cover almost the whole archipelago: a week-long loop of the central atolls, ten-night runs to the mantas of Hanifaru and the northern atolls, equatorial trips to the deep south with a one-way domestic flight, and long expeditions to Hanimaadhoo in the far north.
