The M/Y Excellence liveaboard is part of the Sea Serpent Liveaboard Fleet with a variety of dive itineraries in the Red Sea. Living up to its name, the Excellence liveaboard offers five star luxury, operating 7 night trips from Hurghada and Port Ghalib, to all of the best dive sites in the Red Sea.

The large salon on the main deck contains a multimedia entertainment centre, and the bar, where soft drinks, coffee, tea & water, several kinds of beer and local wines are available for purchase. The dining area, also on the main deck, serves three buffet-style meals, mostly European and some Arab specialties, daily. There is covered lounge on the Sundeck to relax in the shade, and outside, on the bow, a sun deck with plenty of space to enjoy the sun. The Fly Deck provides additional space for true sun worshippers.

The large dive deck is very spaciously laid out and offers plenty room for each diver. The Excellence has 2 dinghies (Zodiacs) for diving, 2 emergency rafts, first aid equipment and oxygen as well as the necessary safety equipment expected of a modern liveaboard.

We think…

The M/Y Excellence liveaboard is an elegant 5 Star dive liveaboard that compromises neither luxury nor efficiency.

 

The map in the Dive Sites tab on the main Egypt & Red Sea page shows most of the best sites visited by liveaboards in the Red Sea.

The liveaboards of the Sea Serpent Fleet operate from the two ports Hurghada (HRG) and Marsa Alam/Port Ghaleb (PG). Return transfers from the airport are provided to the liveaboard’s location at a Red Sea port. At the airport, a representative will be waiting for you with a sign indicating the name of the boat you have booked. They can also provide Meet & Assist services inside the terminal, including entry visa upon request.

Check in and Out:

Check in is not before 5 pm on the first day of the trip and check out is latest by 10 am on the last day of the trip. The first night of the trip is spent on-board at the port, last night of the trip is spent on-board at the port or in a 4 Star hotel, according to the boat’s schedule. The last dive of the trip is around noon of the penultimate day of the trip, with the boat arriving in port boat that afternoon.

The M/Y Excellence Liveaboard offers plenty of space for a maximum of 24 divers.
