Carpe Novo

Carpe Novo is a 43-metre liveaboard with a strong reputation among divers for combining serious diving with unusually generous space and a relaxed, well-organised atmosphere. Built in 2016 and renovated in 2025, she accommodates up to 22 guests in 12 cabins, with 15 bathrooms and a spacious layout spread across three guest decks. Her character is about comfort that works well on a long dive safari: generous cabins, ample social areas, a large dive operation and plenty of room to spread out between dives.

 

The diving operation is where Carpe Novo really comes into her own. A large 18.5-metre diving dhoni provides a comfortable base for getting to the reefs, channels and thilas, while the main yacht offers dedicated areas for dive equipment and underwater photography. Free Nitrox is available, and the spacious dive setup is particularly appreciated by photographers and experienced divers. Her itineraries cover different regions of the Maldives, allowing guests to look for manta rays, whale sharks, reef sharks, eagle rays, schooling fish and smaller reef life, depending on the season and route.

 

The atmosphere on board Carpe Novo is another of her strengths. Reviews consistently highlight knowledgeable and attentive dive guides, careful briefings and a crew that pays attention to individual experience levels. Food is another recurring highlight, with guests describing it as fresh, varied and restaurant quality. Recent reviews from the Maldive Charter Club guests also praise the dhoni crew, spacious bathrooms and the comfortable rhythm of life on board.

 

Between dives, guests can use the indoor saloon, bar, outdoor dining area and sun deck, while photographers have dedicated camera facilities. Carpe Novo also welcomes snorkellers and non-diving companions, although her strongest appeal remains with divers who value good guiding, comfortable logistics and the freedom to concentrate on the underwater experience. Her long-standing reputation, spacious design and consistently praised crew give her the character of a mature, dive-focused liveaboard that knows exactly what experienced divers need.
