Ari Queen - the Queen of Ari Atoll - is absolutely the best budget-segment diving yachts in the Maldives. Throughout the year, Ari Queen, 35 meters long, operates dive safaris across the most famous central Maldivian atolls: North and South Malé, the Rasdhoo Atoll, renowned for its hammerhead sharks, and the legendary Ari Atoll. With its mantas, whale sharks, and stunning coral reefs, Ari Atoll holds few secrets for the experienced dive guides and crew of Ari Queen, who know these waters exceptionally well thanks to many years of experience.
The crew of Ari Queen is friendly and positive, always attentive to guests’ wishes and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere on board. These qualities are frequently highlighted in reviews from Maldivian Charter Club guests. The cuisine also receives special praise: simple, delicious, and varied meals prepared fresh every day.
On board Ari Queen there are 12 cabins accommodating up to 24 guests. Eight double cabins are located on the lower deck, featuring either twin or double beds. On the bow of the main deck there are two Deluxe DBL cabins, while the upper deck hosts two Suite DBL/Twin cabins. These cabins feature ocean-view windows, a refrigerator, and a flat-screen TV. All cabins are equipped with individually controlled air conditioning, an en-suite bathroom with hot and cold/ water shower, a wardrobe, and storage space.
Ari Queen has four decks, including the spacious sun deck at the top with comfortable loungers for relaxing and sunbathing. Upper deck is also the perfect place to enjoy spectacular Maldivian sunsets while admiring the ocean views from the open-air bar. On the main deck there is a large indoor salon with a comfortable lounge area and entertainment system, as well as a dining area where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily.
Ari Queen is designed specifically for diving, making it a perfect environment for divers. Guests easily find like-minded company to discuss the day’s dives and share stories from past adventures. Everyone on board is on the same wavelength — the turquoise wavelength of the Maldivian atolls.
