Description

Boat

Mariana is a warmly styled safari boat purpose-built for scuba diving adventures and cruising the Maldives. With an overall length of 27 meters and a traditional, timeless design enhanced by a renovation in recent years, Mariana blends classic charm with practical comfort.

Mariana is designed to operate comfortably in the Maldives’ best dive regions year-round, with diving supported from a dedicated spacious dhoni that ferries divers and gear to the top sites. It cruises at an approximate speed of 7 knots with a top speed near 10 knots.

The main salon is an inviting communal space for dining and relaxation, while the upper deck features a shaded bar area perfect for sunset drinks and socialising. Outdoor lounges and gear rinse areas make downtime between dives comfortable and convenient.

Mariana provides a friendly full-board format with meals prepared fresh daily — typically including breakfast, lunch and dinner with local and international options. Tea, coffee and drinking water are included; other drinks are subject to local availability.

Mariana has a dive dhoni which is used to store equipment away from the main boat. There is also ample space to kit up and the dhoni allows divers to enter the water right above the many great dive spots.
