Built in 2019, MV Blue is a modern and sleek 41 metre long fibreglass hulled liveboard yacht that specialises in stylish Maldives diving cruises in the pelagic-rich southern waters, to Hanifaru Bay to witness the manta feeding frenzy, and the central atolls. To make your life easier, all itineraries begin and end in Male, so all logistical headaches including flights are taken care of.

22 guests are accommodated across the 3 decks in ensuite cabins, so you have the choice of premium ocean view cabins or economy lower deck cabins. There is a spacious lounge and an open-plan sundeck.

The dining experience is one of the main features on Blue, and the food served is a mixture of Japanese, Asian, European and Maldivian. The chef prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner, and all meals are served buffet style in the saloon or al fresco on the upper deck. There is a bar facility in the saloon that offers a choice of fresh fruit juice soft drinks, cocktails, liquors, wine and beer. There will also be a beach dinner when the weather and ocean conditions permit.

To enjoy the marine life of the Maldives safely, skillful dive guides are a must so experienced instructors are onboard at all times. Guests are usually split in to 2 or 3 groups and you will normally make a couple of dives in the morning and 1 dive in the afternoon. A specialised dhoni boat is used for scuba diving to keep the liveaboard dry, clean and noise-free. The dhoni is 22m with a 255 HP engine, nitrox and air compressors. There is a guest toilet and shower, as well as the usual safety equipment such as life jackets, first aid, and a defibrillator. The mothership also has a dedicated camera room.
