NAUTILUS TWO
An incomparable safari boat in Maldivian style
At 43 meters in length, the NAUTILUS TWO - which underwent an extensive refurbishment in October 2022 - is an exceptionally spacious and visually unique safari ship in the Maldives. The first-class workmanship in traditional Maldivian wood construction and state-of-the-art equipment ensure that the ship not only offers something for the eye, but also meets every comfort factor.
Soak up the sun between dives on the huge 400m² sun deck, relax in the whirlpool or unwind on one of our comfortable sun loungers or lounge areas while the NAUTILUS TWO takes you to the next stage of your unforgettable Maldives adventure.
SALON & BAR
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the spacious salon. A 5m-long fishing dhoni divides the space between the restaurant and lounge area and also serves as a buffet for presenting our delicious national and international dishes.
At our extremely popular and well-stocked bar, our bartender will be happy to mix you refreshing cocktails. There is wonderfully chilled beer on tap as well as a large selection of international spirits, cocktails, white & red wines and soft drinks. Hot tea & coffee as well as fresh water and fruit juices are available free of charge 24 hours a day. In between, our kitchen crew serves small snacks and sandwiches for refreshment after eventful dives.
SUN DECK
The spacious, almost 400m² sun deck offers comfortable sun loungers, a lounge area and is equipped with a protective awning. Here you will find peace and relaxation while enjoying a unique view of the Maldivian islands.
FORE & AFT
On the foredeck below the sun deck, you will find large, comfortable lounge furniture for relaxing. This is an extremely popular spot, as the shaded area and the usually light breeze make it a pleasant place to cool off. Our whirlpool filled with seawater also invites you to take a relaxing dip here, and we are of course happy to serve you cool drinks to go with it.
Another highlight of our Nautilus Two is the covered stern of the boat, which, with its large lounge area, offers a cozy place to relax, socialize and linger outdoors, even if it should rain.
