Boats
Our company, Red Sea Boats, has been organising diving trips to the Red Sea for over 7 years. You may have heard of the “red boats” sailing the Egyptian Red Sea but please allow me to introduce to you officially our vessels — M/Y Cassiopeia and M/Y Andromeda.
They are two of the latest luxury liveaboard vessels in the Red Sea. They have been sailing in Egypt and in Sudan for the past couple of years. The boats are 40m long steel diving liveaboard vessels and can accommodate up to 26 divers in first-class comfort.
