Ocean Sapphire is a classic Maldivian safari yacht where comfort, style, and the spirit of the ocean come together in one seamless journey.
Built in 2012 in the traditional wooden style, Ocean Sapphire features interiors crafted from teak and pine – warm, natural materials create a relaxed, almost home-like atmosphere while preserving the sense of a true ocean adventure. The 2025 refurbishment has carefully maintained these qualities. Across three thoughtfully designed decks, it is easy to find both a quiet private corner and inviting social spaces.
In terms of specifications, Ocean Sapphire is a fully equipped mid-size safari yacht: approximately 35 meters in length and 10 meters in width, with a wooden hull, a powerful engine, and generators ensuring the stable operation of all systems. Generous fuel and water capacity allow for extended cruising across the atolls, while modern navigation equipment and safety systems ensure a smooth and reliable journey.
Ocean Sapphire offers 11 en-suite cabins accommodating up to 22 guests, with the option to increase capacity through triple occupancy. Seven cabins are located on the lower deck, some of which can be configured for three guests. The upper deck features four more spacious cabins with large ocean-view windows. All cabins are equipped with air conditioning, storage space, well-designed lighting, and everything needed for a comfortable stay. The layout is designed in such a way that even at full capacity, the yacht never feels crowded.
The shared spaces on Ocean Sapphire are designed for qulity onboard lifestyle: a panoramic salon combining lounge and dining areas, two bars located on the main and upper decks, open-air lounge spaces with sofas, a large sun deck with loungers, and a six-person jacuzzi on the upper deck – a rare feature for yachts of this class.
Diving is organized in the classic Maldivian style: all dives, up to three per day, are conducted from a dedicated dhoni, which carries all equipment and compressors. Nitrox and rental gear are available on board Ocean Sapphire.
Beyond diving, the program includes snorkeling, island visits, and water activities such as jet skiing, paddleboarding, kitesurfing, and surfing (water toys should be requested in advance), making the itinerary equally enjoyable for non-divers.
Dining on Ocean Sapphire is another highlight: a blend of international and Maldivian cuisine, fresh fish and seafood, buffet-style meals and dinners, all served in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Ocean Sapphire – a space where the day flows naturally from diving into relaxation, and evenings into dinners, conversations, and sunsets over the ocean.
Guests of Maldivian Charter Club who have experienced dive safaris on Ocean Sapphire often note that she is not about showy luxury, but about a perfectly balanced experience of comfort, space, attentive service, and that unmistakable feeling of the real Maldives.
