Seafari Explorer 2 is a modern 42m long twin-engine motor yacht that operates liveaboard expeditions throughout the Maldives. Witness the annual manta ray feeding frenzy at Baa Atoll, dive or snorkel with whale sharks at Ari, visit Felidhoo for grey reef and nurse sharks, or venture to the Deep South for hammerheads, silvertips, threshers and tiger sharks. The boat crew is highly experienced, with a great safety record, and create a great ambiance onboard.

There are 14 comfortable guest cabins with TVs and en-suite private bathrooms, including upper deck cabins with sea views, and single bed cabins for single travellers. The restaurant serves up delicious buffet spreads of Western and Asian cuisine, and meals are enjoyed either in the back deck open air, or in the air-conditioned dining area. The welcoming open air upper deck bar has a real bartender offering great cocktails, juices, beer, wine, and liquor. it is the perfect place to relax after the dives.

There is a Jacuzzi hot tub on the sun deck where guests can relax. The sun deck also has plenty of loungers for soaking up the sun, and the upper deck social area provides open air shade for guests. The main deck lounge is bright and really huge, due to the incredible 11m beam of Seafari Explorer 2. It has big sofas, Smart TV, card games, and book library, and internet is provided throughout the yacht.

All diving activities are conducted from the accompanying and spacious 24 metre dhoni dive tender, which can carry up to 28 divers, although the yacht only carries 24 guests. It houses the compressors and the nitrox system, the weights, and diver equipment boxes, which removes a lot of clutter and noise from the mothership. The dhoni has its own sundeck, shower heads and a toilet. Enriched air nitrox is provided free of charge for nitrox-certified divers.
