Blue Spirit, Maldives

M/V Blue Spirit is the embodiment of a comfortable and traditional Maldivian diving liveaboard – a true divers’ liveaboard. M/V Blue Spirit is smaller and able to provide a more exclusive diving experience than most other vessels can offer. Maldives diving enthusiasts will delight at her extensive range of itineraries, sailing all around the stunning atolls in the north and in the south. Her wooden hull has been specifically designed to optimize sailing through the waters of the Maldives, while her interior has been fitted out to heighten comfort and relaxation for guests aboard.

M/V Blue Spirit measures 26m in length with a beam of 7m. Her shallow draft means she can moor in smaller and quieter lagoons which are inaccessible to larger vessels. She caters to just 12 divers and offers six en suite and fully air-conditioned cabins. Cabins include two double berth and four double/twin berth with lavishly fitted interiors. Located on the main deck is the saloon with separate dining and relaxation areas. Photographers will delight in the facilities on board with ample storage and recharging points found in the saloon. Guests looking to unwind can do so in the saloon where you can kick back and watch a DVD from the on-board library which also includes marine identification books and other literary pieces. M/V Blue Spirit includes a sun deck with superb views of the Indian Ocean, as well as a shaded area. Meals are served at a table to the front of the boat providing a wonderful alfresco dining experience. Guests will enjoy the culinary delights of a fantastic Sri Lankan chef who has been with M/V Blue Spirit for over 15 years and serves a mouth-watering mixture of local and Western cuisines while soaking up the panoramic views of the Maldives.
