NAUTILUS TWO
An unparalleled liveaboard in Maldivian style
Measuring 43m long, the NAUTILUS TWO – which got a fresh look with a big renovation in October 2022 – is an incredibly spacious and visually stunning liveaboard, truly one-of-a-kind in the Maldives. Its top-notch craftsmanship, using traditional Maldivian wood, combined with modern equipment, means the ship isn't just a treat for the eyes, but also super comfy and welcoming.
Between dives, soak up the sun on our huge 400m² sundeck, chill out in the whirlpool, or kick back on one of our comfy loungers or lounge areas, all while the NAUTILUS TWO takes you to the next stop on your unforgettable Maldivian adventure.
SALON & BAR
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in our spacious salon. A 5m long fishing dhoni cleverly divides the space between the restaurant and lounge areas, and also serves as a buffet to showcase our delicious national & international dishes.
At our super popular and well-stocked bar, our bartender will happily mix you refreshing cocktails. We've got wonderfully chilled draft beer, plus a wide selection of international spirits, cocktails, white & red wines, and soft drinks. Hot tea & coffee, fresh water, and fruit juices are available 24 hours a day, free of charge. And in between, our kitchen crew will serve small snacks and sandwiches to refuel you after exciting dives.
SUNDECK
Our spacious, almost 400m² sundeck offers comfy sun loungers, a lounge area, and even has a protective sun sail. It's the perfect spot to find peace & relaxation while enjoying a unique view of the stunning Maldivian islands.
BOW & STERN
On the foredeck, just below the sundeck, you'll find large, comfy lounge furniture perfect for chilling out. It's a super popular spot because the shaded area and often gentle breeze offer a lovely cool escape. Our seawater-filled whirlpool is also here, inviting you for a relaxing dip, and of course, we'll happily serve you cool drinks.
Another highlight of our Nautilus Two is the ship's covered stern. With its large lounge area, it offers a cozy spot for relaxation, socializing, and just hanging out outdoors, even if it happens to rain.
CABINS
Our 12 spacious & cozy guest cabins have been completely redesigned with a fresh, friendly look. At 20m², they're bigger than on any other liveaboard in the Maldives, offering luxurious accommodation for up to 24 divers. All cabins come with a bathroom/toilet, either a king-size double bed and/or a king-size single bed, a small table with a stool & mirror, and a wardrobe.
