Scubaspa

The history of Scubaspa began with the dream to create in the Maldives a vacation format that combines world-class diving and relaxing resort comfort. The founders – a passionate diver and a professional spa therapist – after traveling through the Maldives, decided to realize the idea of a “floating resort” where divers and their companions could relax together, enjoying both the ocean and the comfort.
In 2013, the first resort liner Scubaspa Yin was launched, built specifically for this concept. The vessel, about 50 meters long, became one of the largest and most comfortable liveaboard ships in the Maldives. Its design combines modern style, natural materials, spacious decks, and high functionality.
A year later, the fleet was expanded with the second yacht – Scubaspa Yang, identical in its level of luxury and equipment. Both yachts were built manually by Maldivian craftsmen, with attention to every detail, and became the first of their kind “floating resorts” in the luxury class.
Over time, Scubaspa developed a whole philosophy of relaxation: today the company offers thematic routes, charter cruises, yoga retreats, and diving safaris with manta rays and whale sharks. Each route is carefully planned and conducted in the optimal season so that guests can witness the full beauty of the Maldivian underwater world.
Today, Scubaspa is a recognized brand that has gained worldwide fame for combining a high level of service, comfort, and adventure. The company remains true to its mission – to offer journeys where luxury meets nature, and every morning begins with a view of the endless ocean.

Scubaspa is rightfully considered one of the most awarded companies in the field of luxury marine travel. Over the years, the brand has received international recognition for its innovative approach, service quality, and vessel design.
