Carpe Vita

Carpe Vita, built in the Maldives in 2011 by the same craftsman behind the Carpe Diem, follows the Latin slogan, meaning “life is here and now”. This 38.2-metre wooden liveaboard was created as the more spacious, upgraded sister of her smaller fleetmate. She retains the traditional character of a Maldivian safari yacht, but her generous proportions and thoughtful layout give her a particularly comfortable feel. With only 20 guests accommodated in 10 cabins across three decks, she offers considerably more space per guest than many similarly sized liveaboards. A 2025 renovation has further refreshed the yacht while preserving her established character.

 

Carpe Vita's defining feature, however, is the diving operation. She works with a large dedicated dhoni where tanks and equipment remain set up throughout the trip, meaning divers do not need to repeatedly dismantle and carry their gear. Guests from the Maldivian Charter Club have singled out the dhoni for its remarkable amount of space, comfortable access to the water, camera facilities and separate rinse tanks. The arrangement creates an easy rhythm on dive days and keeps the main yacht free for relaxation. Nitrox is available, and itineraries cover a variety of Maldivian atolls and dive environments, from current-swept channels and thilas to manta cleaning stations and sites known for sharks and other pelagic life.

 

The atmosphere on board is one of Carpe Vita’s strongest points. Experienced divers repeatedly praise the crew for being friendly, attentive and highly professional, while several long-term guests have returned to the yacht more than once. Food also receives consistently strong feedback, with reviews mentioning fresh, varied and creative meals.

 

Carpe Vita has the character of a mature dive boat. She is spacious without feeling oversized, comfortable without losing her traditional Maldivian identity, and above all organised around diving. For experienced divers, photographers and guests who value a relaxed atmosphere, a capable crew and a genuinely well-designed dive operation, that balance is her greatest strength.

 

The yacht’s description is subject to change, so if any features or services are particularly important to you, please confirm them at the time of booking.
