MY King Snefro 3 dive boat review
King Snefro 3: confirm a named departure before booking
Checked 24 October 2026: the LiveAboard.com listing has no online availability, and King Snefro 3 is not among the boats presented on the current King Snefro Fleet website. This does not establish that the vessel has retired or stopped operating.
The profile below preserves the boat’s historical accommodation and onboard layout. Treat it as background rather than confirmation of a current itinerary, cabin arrangement or price. Ask for written confirmation naming the vessel, dates, operator and exact inclusions before making travel plans.
King Snefro 3 is a small Red Sea liveaboard historically associated with the King Snefro Fleet. Its retained booking profile describes a 2014 refit and accommodation for ten guests.
Boat Cabins & Layout
There are only 5 cabins on the King Snefro 3, meaning that only groups of up to 10 stay on-board. Indeed, it promised uncrowded diving and personalized service.
There is one Master suite featuring air-con as well as an en-suite private bathroom. Also, the master suite has a mini bar and is definitely more spacious than the other rooms.The remaining 4 cabins are either featuring two twin beds or two bunk beds. They share 2 bathrooms altogether.

King Snefro 3 On-board Facilities
On-board the Snefro 3, snacks and drinks are available at all times at the bar, located in the main social area. Indeed, the salon and dining areas are adjacent. It’s a lavish communal place where all the meals are served and where you can watch TV, listen to music, etc.
Furthermore, the top deck is a large sundeck. It’s the place where to work on your tan or sit in the shaded area to take a nap or read a book. The view over the Red Sea is sure stunning from the sundeck.
Vessel Layout
Welcoming smaller groups, the Snefro 3 is much alike her sisterships, the King Snefro 5 and KS6. Their smaller size was a distinguishing feature of the fleet’s earlier programme.
Diving with the King Snefro 3
The dive deck and dive platform on-board the King Snefro 3 are meant to make the whole scuba diving operation very accessible. Indeed, the ladders onto the platform make entries and exits a breeze. Plus, the diving tender is there to take divers right to the action packed waters.
Ultimately, there is ample space to gear up and store your belongings. The original profile described guided diving with support from the crew; current staffing and inclusions need to be confirmed.
Looking for a currently listed small-group boat?
Snefro Pearl is listed with dated departures from Sharm and accommodates twelve guests. Compare its cabin categories and trip length with your needs. Our Red Sea diving guide explains the wider choice of areas.
Booking questions
Does no online availability mean the boat is closed?
No. It only means the checked booking page offered no online departure to reserve. The current operating status still needs confirmation.
Can I use an old starting price to budget?
No. Request a dated quote for the named boat, cabin and occupancy, with diving, transfers, park and port fees, fuel charges, equipment and any Nitrox charges itemised.
Can I assume the same facilities as another Snefro boat?
No. Cabin layouts, bathrooms and inclusions differ across the fleet. Confirm the actual vessel assigned to your trip, including any substitution.

Did anyone experienced the Snefro 3 or 5 or 6 ? I would like to get some advice on which boat to choose! Perhaps they have different crews and that can account for a lot on such a trip, so which one has the best crew ? Which one is the most comfortable ?
Thanks!
