Built in Rashid in 2010, the wooden-hulled Snefro Love measures 37 metres by 9 metres. King Snefro Fleet lists its latest renovation as March 2024. Ten cabins accommodate twenty guests; its sister vessel is Snefro Target.

Seven twins, two upper-deck doubles and one suite

Each has air-conditioning and an en-suite bathroom. A couple choosing the suite gets more room; choosing an upper double gets a higher deck position. For a solo trip, ask how a shared twin is matched and what sole occupancy would cost.

Three decks outside, and a choice of lounges

The original Divezone review highlighted the boat’s communal space, and that remains a useful way to judge the layout. The main-deck salon offers a cool place to read or chat, while another lounge upstairs provides a change of scene. Outside, the three sun-deck areas include both shade and open seating.

Meals bring everyone back together. Egyptian and international dishes are served buffet-style, with fruit, snacks and standard soft drinks between dives. Discuss dietary needs in advance. Shared Wi-Fi depends on mobile reception, so plan for periods offline.

For a non-diving companion, confirm the fare and suitable activities on the actual itinerary before booking.

Start with the programme you want to dive

The dated departure verified for this update is the 7–11 January 2027 Mini Plus: Thistlegorm, Tiran & Ras Mohammed, a four-night Sharm round trip. The operator also assigns the mini-safari and Sinai route families below to Snefro Love. Availability, the boat assignment and the detailed programme need confirming for your dates; the fleet can interchange Snefro Love and Snefro Target.

Four-night Mini Plus: the published sample

The first evening is for boarding. The sample then visits Temple, Jackfish Alley and the Alternatives; Thistlegorm and Small Passage; Dunraven, Shark & Yolanda and Gordon; then Jackson, Thomas or Woodhouse, and a final coastal dive before Sharm. The map uses Thomas for that alternative and omits the final coastal choice. It is indicative, with substitutions possible.

Select and compare the programmes

The Mini Plus line follows that sample. Other layers mark programme areas without asserting a day-by-day order. Deep North’s Dahab stops are not pinned because the detailed current programme was not verified. The Sharm–Brothers layer is an option named in the boat description, not a verified available sailing. The Sharm pin is a port-area reference, not the exact berth.

Wreck and reef references

Thistlegorm, Dunraven and Abu Nuhas provide wreck-diving context; Ras Mohammed and Tiran bring reef walls and current-dependent dives. These geographic references are not promised stops or navigational positions.

Diving from Snefro Love

The dive deck has equipment space, freshwater showers and two nearby bathrooms. A platform and tenders support entries and pickups. Standard guided diving, a 12-litre cylinder and weights are included; arrange rental equipment or a different cylinder configuration beforehand. Do not assume specialist equipment is ready without a confirmed request.

Certified enriched-air divers receive complimentary nitrox, subject to the system being available. The operator does not promise a refund if that complimentary service is interrupted.

For the four-night Thistlegorm Mini Plus: Advanced Open Water and twenty logged dives are required, with a logged dive in the previous year. Discuss a refresher if needed. The stated target is 12–15 dives, subject to conditions; the calendar’s own figure is the useful reference where generic inclusions wording differs. A qualification alone does not make every wreck interior suitable for you.

A dated four-night budget

On 24 October 2026, the 7–11 January 2027 departure was advertised from €679 per person. Adding its published €90 local fees gives €769 before flights, entry formalities, equipment, gratuities and personal purchases. This is a starting shared-accommodation example; compare the exact cabin and occupancy before paying.

The operator describes the local charges as park, environmental and departure fees. Fuel is listed in its inclusions, with a possible adjustment after substantial increases; the booking page groups park, port and fuel fees together. Have the final quote identify the charges once, rather than adding both lists.

Check the current total for your cabin

Plan around Sharm el Sheikh

The departure marina is New Marina, El Wataneya. Use the transfer instructions for your precise meeting point. Shared hotel or airport transfers within Sharm are included at the scheduled times; a private transfer or a pickup outside the area is a separate arrangement.

The sample Mini Plus boards in the evening and returns by late afternoon on the final day. That last day can still include diving, so leave the operator’s required no-fly interval before flying or going to altitude. Confirm current entry documents for your nationality and route before travel.
