There's a fancy *ss liveaboard in the Maldives people talk about - I think it is run by the Four Seasons - it's like $1000 per day. Never been on it, but hey, it's on my wish list! ;-)

The best boats in the world, unfortually are not available for charter.


But this one comes with a fancy compressor system and an onboard dive instructor.

I can't remember the charter rates, but if you must ask, you (like me) most likely can't afford it.

Only disclaimer is that I think this boat might have sold and been refitted and might not be available for charter anymore.

You can charter Pangaea, a 184' trawler-type expeditionary yacht for $175,000/week plus expenses. She carries 16 full sets of dive gear along with a few other toys.
If that doesn't quite meet your requirements, the company has a few other choices.

I thought that was Greg Norman's (the golfer) boat(yacht?)
