Ark Noble is the perfect blend of comfort, style, and true adventure in the heart of the Maldives. This elegant and spacious 37 x 10-meter yacht was completely refurbished in 2021. She is designed for itineraries through the Maldives' atolls and weeks-long life "on the water." Ark Noble is maintained at a state-of-the-art level, in excellent condition, and provides high-class service by an experienced crew of 13 professionals, including a captain, a cruise director, a chef, and a PADI dive instructor.
Ark Noble accommodates 22 guests. Ten cabins are available, ranging from cozy standard cabins to luxurious suites with panoramic ocean views. Each cabin features air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi, a Nespresso machine, a minibar, a personal safe, a stylish bathroom, and pleasant touches such as a Bluetooth speaker, soft lighting, and a twice-daily cleaning service.
Ark Noble's four decks feature lounges, a bar, sunbathing areas, and a Jacuzzi. Of particular interest is the overwater beach club, a safe swimming pool, and a beach in the middle of the ocean.
On Ark Noble, there's no time to get bored; days are filled with experiences: explore the Maldives' best dive sites, dive in crystal-clear waters with a rich marine life, try snorkeling, surfing, and a variety of water sports, go night fishing or trophy fishing, and between dives, relax in the Jacuzzi bar or soak up the sun on the spacious decks. Picnics on secluded sandbanks, barbecues under the stars, excursions to uninhabited islands and learning about local culture are also available, as is the opportunity to visit the capital of the Maldives, Male.
Ark Noble sails the classic Central Atolls routes – Male, Ari, Vaavu, Rasdhoo – and there are also routes to the southern atolls. A week on board means 15–17 dives, including night dives, giant manta ray cleaning stations, breathtaking current channels, and reefs teeming with sharks, turtles, and rays. All dive logistics are handled on a separate 24-meter dhoni, complete with compressors, Nitrox, and full gear preparation, ensuring the yacht itself remains a pristine living space.
Maldivian Charter Club clients note that the Ark Noble experience is engaging and action-packed, and is recommended also for families with children.
Ark Noble is a fully-fledged floating boutique hotel, with every detail thought through to create the perfect dive safari, from hairdryers in the rooms, complimentary Nitrox, and a glass of wine with dinner. Here, luxury meets adventure, and each day brings new emotions, vibrant views, and a sense of complete freedom. This is a journey that makes you want to return again and again.
