Safety & Security

At Malaillo Liveaboard, your safety is our top priority. From the design of the vessel to our onboard protocols and crew training, every aspect of our operation has been developed with your wellbeing in mind. We understand that peace of mind is essential for a truly enjoyable experience at sea.

Our Commitment to Safety

Malaillo was built with safety as a fundamental design principle. The lower deck features an emergency exit leading to the main deck, and all decks are equipped with smoke detectors and fire alarm systems. Emergency lighting is installed in every room and on each deck to ensure visibility at all times.

In addition to physical infrastructure, we have invested in advanced technology and extensive crew training to respond quickly and effectively in any situation. Our safety equipment is regularly inspected, tested, and maintained to meet or exceed international standards.

• Life Rafts: 4 rafts with a total capacity of 60 passengers
