Most of the interior decor and furnishing's in the vessel are handcrafted.

Reviews for Sunset Queen
Sunset QueenJakob Webster
Just got back last night from a week on the Sunset Queen, Maldives. Just wanted to give you guys some feedback and let you know what a great job the team on the boat did. It was a fantastic week, and far exceeded my expectations. The service was great, staff were super friendly, and the waves and weather were awesome. It's making it extra hard to come back to the office this morning. Thanks again for organising this, and will be definitely be booking future holidays through you guys.

Just back from a week on the Sunset Queen and can I say it was fantastic (as you said it would be). The boat, the skipper, the crew, the weather and the waves were just great. We’ll definitely be booking another trip – most likely in 2 years. Thanks again!
