Twelve cabins, including a master and four sea-view rooms

The wooden yacht measures 43 metres long and nine metres wide. Completed in April 2016, it is an established member of the fleet. The current technical list and booking description agree on the twelve-cabin arrangement below.

Cabins have private bathrooms, individual air-conditioning and storage. Request a recent plan and photographs if room dimensions or bed firmness matter to you. Solo travellers should confirm sharing terms or obtain a sole-occupancy quote; do not assume that a twin fare buys the whole room.

Indoor comfort and an open-air place to linger

The boat offers an indoor lounge and TV area for a quieter break between dives. Outside, a covered dining and lounging space provides room to talk, play a board game or enjoy the sea breeze. The top deck adds loungers and an open view of the Red Sea.

Meals, snacks and standard soft drinks are included in the diving package. Discuss essential dietary requirements in advance. Alcohol and other personal purchases are additional expenses. Wi-Fi is offered, but an offshore diving week should not depend on a reliable internet connection.

Travelling with a non-diver?

Confirm acceptance, rates and suitable snorkeling or other activities for the chosen route directly with the operator.

Dated departures and the wider advertised programme

The table separates dated trips visible in the booking schedule on 24 October 2026 from routes listed on the operator’s MY Blue page without a confirmed departure in the checked extract. Dated examples are seven nights and may already be full. An advertised route is not a guarantee of a bookable sailing.

Route areas on the map

Select independent layers to compare the programmes. These partial maps locate representative areas; they do not establish a daily sequence or a navigation track. Where the ports remain unconfirmed, the layer omits them. The full departure calendar and final route order still need confirmation with the operator.

Reefs and wreck areas

The second map locates the referenced sites independently of the itinerary selection. St John’s and Fury Shoals contain many possible dive sites. Weather, permissions and the group’s experience determine the actual stops, and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.

The dive deck and the experience you need

The large dive deck and platform are central to the boat’s layout. Photographers have a substantial camera table and freshwater rinse facilities. Two tenders reach sites where entering directly from the yacht is unsuitable. Nitrox is included for certified divers; rebreather support requires advance agreement on equipment and gases.

Blue Planet requires certification and a logbook. Its published policy specifies fifty logged dives for the Brothers, Daedalus, Rocky and Zabargad marine-park trips. That is a minimum entry condition, not proof that a diver is comfortable with currents, open-water ascents or exposed sites. Discuss recent experience and the planned dive profiles before booking.

The operator prohibits decompression diving and sets a maximum of forty metres; your qualification, gas and conditions may require a shallower limit. Night dives are not offered in those marine parks. Bring an SMB, a torch and appropriate personal equipment, and reserve rentals before departure.

The advertised routine allows up to four dives on suitable non-park days and up to three in the marine parks, with fewer dives at the beginning and end of the week. The safety list includes ENOS, oxygen and a defibrillator. Attend the actual boat briefing and identify emergency exits when boarding.

Allow for the local fees and fuel surcharge

A dated example is the 12–19 November 2026 Daedalus & Fury Shoals trip, listed from €1,495 per person on 24 October. The reseller lists required park, port and fuel fees of €290–320 per trip, while the operator currently states €320 per person per week. Using the operator’s figure gives a planning total of €1,815 before flights and personal extras. Confirm the actual cabin, occupancy and charges in the final quote.

Arrival, boarding and transfers

Blue Planet’s general guidance gives boarding from 17:00 and checkout by 10:00. The boat normally returns to port the afternoon before departure; the final night may be in a hotel for operational reasons. Confirm your sailing’s arrangements before booking flights.

Northern programmes generally use Hurghada, while southern trips commonly use Port Ghalib. A Port Ghalib transfer from Hurghada airport takes roughly three hours; Marsa Alam airport is much closer. Check both ports on a one-way itinerary and allow the appropriate interval between the last dive and flying with your operator’s guidance.

Send the requested passenger and flight details through the operator’s booking process by its deadline, normally one week ahead.
