Master Liveaboards has announced the early 2025 arrival of their new vessel in the Maldives, the Maldives Master – a replacement for the beloved Blue Voyager which sadly burned while in maintenance dock.
The Maldives Master is a 42-metre liveaboard vessel that boasts two roomy fixed double-bed cabins, eight convertible twin/double cabins and two single cabins, accommodating 26 guests. She features an indoor dining area, a bar, a sky lounge and an outdoor jacuzzi. A shaded outdoor lounge area can be found on the mid-deck, plus four different sun decks – a viewing deck located at the front of both the mid-deck and upper deck, an open-air deck on the top deck, and an ocean deck at the stern of the boat, all providing comfortable seating and loungers.
The ocean deck is a unique feature allowing guests to relax in the open air while close to the water. On many evenings the floodlights will illuminate the water just off the ocean deck to attract plankton which draws the manta rays and whale sharks. There have been many close sightings of feeding mantas and whale sharks.
One of the most outstanding features of Maldives Master is the custom-built dhoni (diving support vessel) Blue Shadow. This 19-metre dhoni is spacious, fast, and equipped with all the modern conveniences that divers want. Each diver has their own station with plenty of space to store their gear and kit up, and the dhoni crew is ready to assist. During the journeys to and from the dive sites, you can ascend the small stairs to the top deck to enjoy the sun and stunning views. There is a toilet with a shower located inside the main deck plus two handheld showers on the back deck, and separate camera and equipment rinse tanks. A fast engine, two generators, and two compressors with a nitrox membrane system mean you will enjoy a first-rate diving experience in the Maldives.
