Enjoy designer cabins, boutique amenities, and delicious fusion cuisine

Cruising the crystalline waters of the Andaman Sea, the DiveRACE Class X liveaboard represents the pinnacle of modern maritime luxury. Launched in late 2025, this 35-metre custom steel motor yacht has been meticulously designed to offer a seamless blend of high-octane adventure and boutique-hotel comfort. Whether you're exploring the remote corners of Thailand or the wild frontiers of Myanmar (Burma), every nautical mile aboard this vessel is defined by personalized service and a commitment to excellence.

Boat Interior

The interior of the DiveRACE Class X Thailand is a masterclass in contemporary design, featuring a collaboration with an award-winning design firm to create an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. The spacious indoor saloon is fully air-conditioned, providing a cool sanctuary where you can review your morning's footage or enjoy a movie. For those who appreciate the finer things, the main deck even houses a wine cellar to complement your evening. Outside, the teak decks lead to a massive sun deck, complete with a rooftop bar and a steaming hot tub—the perfect spot to witness a spectacular Andaman sunset.

Dive Deck

The dive deck on the MV DiveRACE Class X liveaboard is designed for the discerning diver who values space and efficiency. It features individual gear stations, dedicated storage, and wide steps for easy entry into the water. To ensure a truly premium experience, the boat utilizes custom-built HDPE workboats—nicknamed Dive RED and Dive BLUE—which provide unparalleled stability and safety during pickups and drop-offs. After a day of exploring mystical wrecks or vibrant coral reefs, you’ll be greeted back on board with hot towels and a refreshing drink.

Safety

Safety is the bedrock of every DiveRACE Class X Thailand liveaboard journey. The vessel is equipped with an array of modern navigation and emergency systems, including radar, GPS tracking, and an EPIRB distress system. Onboard safety equipment is comprehensive, featuring life rafts, life jackets, smoke detectors, and a full emergency oxygen kit. With a dedicated night crew on duty and rigorous fire-fighting systems in place, we have no doubt you’ll sleep soundly as the boat navigates to your next destination.

Non-diving Activities

A luxury holiday aboard the Class X doesn't have to be all about diving. For the non-diver or those seeking relaxation between submerged adventures, the boat offers professional Thai massage services and a sundeck filled with comfortable loungers. You could find yourself exploring a secluded beach on a land excursion, trying your hand at stand-up paddling, or simply enjoying the delicious fusion of local Thai cuisine and Western favourites prepared by the onboard chef.

Itineraries

The MV DiveRACE Class X liveaboard focuses on the most spectacular dive sites in the region. Most itineraries span 5 to 7 days, visiting the world-renowned Similan Islands, Koh Lipe, Koh Tachai, and the legendary Richelieu Rock. Longer expeditions often extend into the southern Andaman Sea to explore Hin Daeng and Koh Haa, or venture into the Mergui Archipelago of Myanmar (Burma), where you’ll encounter abundant marine life away from the crowds.

When to Go

The best time to experience a DiveRACE Class X Myanmar or Thailand trip is from November through May. During these months, the Andaman Sea is at its most welcoming, with calm surface conditions and visibility often reaching a staggering 40 metres. It’s the peak season for encountering "gentle giants" like whale sharks and manta rays as they gather to feed in these nutrient-rich waters.

Cabin Types

The vessel accommodates up to 20 guests across 11 elegantly furnished cabins, all featuring private en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and daily housekeeping.

Double Bed Premium Cabin

Located on the upper deck, these two premium cabins are the pinnacle of luxury, featuring large windows for stunning seaviews and private bathrooms equipped with both a shower and a bathtub.

Double/Twin Single Beds Cabin (Upper Deck)

These two cabins on the upper deck offer flexible sleeping arrangements and easy access to the sun deck and jacuzzi.

Double/Twin Single Beds Cabin (Lower Deck)

Situated on the lower deck, these four deluxe cabins provide a quiet retreat with comfortable bedding and ample wardrobe space.

Single Bed Cabin

Perfect for solo travellers, these two lower-deck cabins offer a private sanctuary without the need for a shared occupancy guarantee.
