Dive trip with Duke of York - 9 nights

Boat

Duke of York is a beautifully designed 36 m long, 11 m wide wooden luxury liveaboard with four decks that combine elegant interior features and extensive outdoor spaces. Her structure is built with quality craftsmanship, offering stability, comfort and a refined environment ideal for cruising the Maldives’ stunning atolls and vibrant dive sites.

Duke of York normally cruises at around 9–12 knots, powered by reliable engines, with generators providing 220 V electricity throughout the vessel. The yacht is accompanied by a traditional diving dhoni — a dedicated dive support boat — which carries compressors and dive gear and serves as the primary platform for dive operations.

Duke of York comes with a large air-conditioned indoor saloon with comfortable seating, media entertainment and a well-stocked bar perfect for socialising after diving. There is also a spacious outdoor dining area on the main deck aft, shaded for alfresco meals and gatherings. Multiple sun decks with loungers, mats and shade options allow guests to relax, take in the views, or soak up the tropical sun while at anchor or underway.

Onboard food is served buffet-style, featuring a mix of international, Italian-inspired and Maldivian cuisine, with fresh seafood and local ingredients. The chefs are attentive to special dietary needs when informed in advance. Beverages include fruit juices, soft drinks, iced tea, coffee and a selection of spirits and local beers; specialty drinks and imported liquors may be brought aboard with you.

Diving operations are organised from the dhoni, ensuring smooth boarding and entry to prime dive sites across the Maldives. Additional amenities include a dedicated camera rinsing area and storage for dive and snorkel gear.
