About Sea Friend

The Sea Friend sails Egypt's southern Red Sea, casting off directly from Hamata so you spend less time in transit and more time among its stunning reefs. Built in 2015, this liveaboard welcomes up to 20 guests across 12 cabins, each fitted with an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and storage space — comfortable quarters after a full day beneath the surface.

Reefs, regions and marine life

Itineraries reach celebrated sites and regions including Fury Shoal, The Brothers, St. Johns, Ras Mohammed, the Straits of Tiran and Abu Nuhas. Divers can drift along vibrant coral walls and coral gardens, sharing the water with playful dolphins, turtles and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish. Nitrox is available on board for those looking to extend their time down deep.

Life topside is just as easy. A tastefully decorated dining room serves home-cooked cuisine, while a sun deck, air-conditioned saloon, bar, free internet and a naturalist guide round out the experience. Snorkellers are welcome too, and the boat is available for group charters upon request.
