Maldives Aggressor II vessel and booking details
Maldives Aggressor II is a 135 ft yacht for 22 guests in 11 staterooms. The partner records a 2006 build and a 2017 renovation. Aggressor’s current plan identifies six twin rooms, four Deluxe rooms and one Suite, making room number and bed layout particularly useful when comparing upgrades.

Which cabin should you book?
| Deck | Cabin choice | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Current booking choices | 6 lower Standard twins; 4 Deluxe; 1 Suite | Confirm room number, beds, occupancy and deck in your written quote. |
Cabins have air-conditioning and private bathrooms. Specify whether you need separate beds, a double, a view or sole occupancy; a category name alone does not settle those details.
Life aboard Maldives Aggressor II
Compare the indoor lounge, shaded outdoor seating and dining arrangements with the way you like to spend surface intervals. Ask which drinks and onboard services are included in your chosen package.
Let the operator know about dietary needs before booking. Ask which drinks and internet package are included; connectivity at sea should not be treated as a reliable work connection.

The rooms on the Maldives Aggressor II feature either double beds or twin beds, making the accommodation flexible for everyone. Plus, you will find power outlets, storage, and closet space as well as a window or porthole in each room. Moreover, there is an ample sundeck space onboard the vessel. Indeed, one of the sundecks is partially covered and has a seated lounge area complete with a bar. Please bear in mind, of course, that when you take a drink you become a sunbather for the rest of the day! Also, the menu is a combination of western and local flavors, but the cooks can adapt to any specific dietary requirement. All diving from the Aggressor boat is done from the dhoni – Maldivian word for a diving tender – which operates as a fully e
Travelling with a non-diver on Maldives Aggressor II?
Confirm a non-diving place directly for Maldives Aggressor II and the chosen departure. A current boat-specific acceptance policy and companion fare have not been established here. Ask whether the booking is a shared cruise berth or a whole-yacht charter, and obtain the price for your dates, duration, cabin and occupancy, including taxes and transfers. Skipping dives does not by itself establish a discount.
Request a practical programme for the companion: which guided snorkeling sessions or island excursions are actually planned, whether equipment and guidance are included, and which activities cost extra. Confirm age or supervision conditions where relevant. A diving or surfing charter may leave a non-participating guest aboard for substantial periods; do not assume that a tender, sundeck or an old excursion description guarantees daily outings.
Companion information reviewed 7 October 2026. Operator or vessel information; compare Maldives companion options. Activities remain subject to the booked route and conditions.
Diving, routes and experience
Nitrox is available. Verify its package price separately from drinks and other cruise inclusions.
Check the itinerary attached to your departure. Malé–Malé routes avoid the domestic-flight logistics of many southern trips. Currents can change the site order and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. See the Maldives diving guide for seasons and atolls.
Get the minimum logged dives, certification, required equipment and no-fly interval in writing from the operator. A statement that a boat welcomes beginners does not mean every route or dive is suitable for them.
Example circuit: Malé → South Malé → Vaavu → South Ari → North Ari → Rasdhoo → Malé. Operators vary the order and select sites according to the departure, weather and currents.
- Maaya Thila, North Ari: a reef pinnacle; conditions affect dive planning.
- Alimatha, Vaavu: the island marker locates the surrounding night-diving area, not an exact entry point.
- South Ari: the Maamigili marker locates the wider whale-shark area; encounters are not guaranteed.
- Rasdhoo: an atoll reference for the surrounding reefs, not a promised stop.
Most central itineraries use Malé-area boarding and return. Check the actual meeting point and airport transfer; southern one-way departures may require domestic flights.
Route context: Emperor Best of Maldives and Carpe Diem Central Atolls. Geographic references: Malé / North Malé, South Malé area, Vaavu / Alimatha, South Ari / Maamigili, Maaya Thila / North Ari, Rasdhoo.

Budget, inclusions and extras
Current departure listings were checked on 6 October 2026. Obtain a cabin-level quote for your dates: the old undated starting prices are not current offers. Compare currency, nights, shared or private occupancy, taxes, fuel and service charges before choosing.
| Budget line | Before paying |
|---|---|
| Cruise | Match dates, nights, cabin, currency and occupancy. |
| Mandatory extras | Ask for taxes, fuel/service charges, park fees and compulsory transfers as a written total. |
| Diving extras | Check Nitrox, rentals, larger tanks, courses and private guiding. |
| Travel | Add international flights, any domestic flights, hotels, insurance and optional spending. |
Request a written shared-berth or sole-occupancy quote. Availability in a double cabin does not establish the price for one guest.
Do not compare headline prices as final totals. Until every compulsory charge is confirmed for the same departure, the all-in comparison remains incomplete. Use our budget guide and travel guide to build the rest of the trip.

Other Liveaboard Reviews in Maldives
There were 20 of us on the MV Maldives Agressor but the boat crews were always happy assisting us. I met them first in the Male airport where they greeted us and advised us of our schedule to transfer on the boat on the same day. We had a lovely dinner where everybody got introduced to the crew. To my delight, dinner was great and I had a very sound sleep after.
My room on board MV Maldives Agressor was air conditioned and had a private bathroom. They also provided the hair dryer. We woke up early at 6 am for a light breakfast and we had a briefing before our first dive.
Each day we had four dives. We went around with a large dhoni that also carried our oxygen tanks. The crew was always assistive in taking care of our equipments. On board, we had a camera rinsing stations, chargers and a camera table for our convenience.
On some occasions, we had to use a reef anchor due to strong currents but it was no biggie. We were always excited to discover what we could find underwater. There were groupers, tuna, giant trevallies, turtles, wrasse, manta rays, frogfish, moray eels, bat fishes and sharks.
One of my favorite dive spot was the Broken Rock that looked like a rock split in half if you look at it on a map. We had to enter the canyon one by one. It was covered by soft corals and there were beautiful fan corals too.
