About Princess Maani

Sailing the atolls of the Maldives, the Princess Maani is a custom-built liveaboard that welcomes 28 guests across 14 cabins. Launched in 2024, this 42-metre vessel cruises at 12 knots and carries 5 tenders, ranging widely from North Malé and South Malé Atolls through Vaavu, Ari, Baa, Raa, Noonu and Addu Atolls across four itineraries.

Diving and marine encounters

The Male–Male route spans 8 nights with approximately 18 dives, open to divers with at least 5 logged dives. In the Guraidhoo Marine Protected Area of South Malé Atoll, expect impressive predators framed by schools of trevally and snapper. In Vaavu Atoll, drift the channels alongside grey reef sharks, then greet nurse sharks on a night dive. Free Nitrox, a shaded dive area, DIN adaptors and a dedicated dive deck keep the diving effortless.

Back on board, comfort comes easy with gourmet dining, beach BBQs, 2 jacuzzis, and en-suite, air-conditioned cabins. Non-divers are welcome too, with kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for exploring above the surface.

Day 2
10: We offer 3 scuba dives per day (except the check-in day and the last 24 hours before the flight). Some dives are relaxing and meditative, while others can be challenging for some of us due to the currents or the rough seas. The first dive happens in the early morning, when the sun comes up suddenly at about 6:00 am. We will wake you up with a big smile, some dry biscuits in the coffee area, and the map of the dive spot ready on the screen. After the briefing, we will jump on the diving dhoni, where we will assist you in getting ready for the first dive of the day. The wake-up call we like the most is the one that happens when our faces come in contact with the salt water: you are not dre
