Welcome to the Sunseeker - a modern boat that was built in 2009 and renovated during the summer of 2022. It is operated by the well respected management of Top Class Cruising and meets the highest standards in safety and service, offering a cozy and pleasant atmosphere with its spacious cabins, lounge areas and open social spaces.

This 41m x 11m wooden hulled motor yacht can comfortably accommodate up to 24 divers in its cabins, ranging from Standard en-suite cabins to an Executive Suite with private Jacuzzi, each having a TV and DVD player, with the suites even enjoying private bathtubs. The MV Sunseeker liveaboard is beautifully furnished inside with wooden floors and paneling, as well as high quality furnishings.

Many guests join these cruises simply to snorkel. But you could opt take it easy in the air-conditioned saloon, dining area, or on the large sun deck that features a whirlpool hot tub. The saloon is home to the entertainment system with internet access, including plasma TV, DVD and Bluetooth music system, plus a charging station. There is an upper deck panoramic lounge bar, and also a range of books and games to keep you entertained between dives. The social areas are huge, but happy hours are often spent on desert islands.

Diving is conducted from a 5m motorised dinghy and a separate 18m dive dhoni (210 HP), where equipment and tanks are stored and filled with air or nitrox from the 3 compressors, reducing the noise on board the mothership. Extra large 13.5 litre tanks are used as standard.

Customer reviews:

Customer rating - Good
"Overall good, however we were aware of communication issues and difficulties between the dive guides and on a couple of occasions made to feel part of the problems.
Dive The World were absolutely first class!! I was so impressed with the help and assistance to get my booking underway and excellent communication right up until we arrived in Male. Everything was clear, easy to understand and when I needed to check things - staff replied immediately.

"Transfers were taken care of, boat was in good condition, food was good. Decor is a little tired. Was surprised that none of the diving staff does photography so I couldn't buy a CD or flash drive with pictures." - , U.S.A., 31 December 2016 ...

"Luxurious liveaboard (best I've ever been on), comfortable rooms, lounging & dining areas, great food, good equipment, very knowledgeable and hospitable crew" - , Australia, 03 October 2016 ...

Customer rating - Excellent
"The entire arrangement from arrival to departure was perfect and very professional. Everyone did their job and knew exactly what to do and how to cater for the guests. The boat crews both on the mother boat and the dhoni were accommodating and service minded. It was obvious that they had been working with diving and liveaboards for a long time. The food was great and varied, the accommodations were pleasant and functional, there was space to hang around if you wanted to find somewhere by yourself. The dive guides/masters were all very experienced and they managed to pick the best spots for us to get the ultimate out of our time spent." - , Norway, 29 December 2015 ...
