Great guides, crew and itinerary
I took this liveaboard in August 2025. It was my first experience and was so positive I came back to the Red Sea to do a longer trip. I especially enjoyed diving the Carnatic, and the completing this along with the Giannis D were probably the highlight dives of the trip. If you are on a tight schedule and looking to do a great trip on a smaller boat with an awesome crew you can’t go wrong with Amelie.

Excellent !!
We had an exceptional week aboard this diving liveaboard, which accommodates up to 16 guests in 8 comfortable cabins. The living space is well designed: a covered main deck with benches and tables for meals and relaxing moments, and a top deck with mattresses to soak up the sun between dives.The crew was absolutely fantastic — always attentive, responsive to any needs, and incredibly kind. The food was delicious, varied, and well balanced (with carbs, vegetables, etc.), which is a real plus on this type of trip.As for the diving, everything was great: the equipment was of good quality and in proper working condition, and Nitrox was available for those who wanted it. The two dive guides were amazing — professional, funny, and caring. A special shoutout to Wessam, who accompanied us throughout the week and whom I warmly recommend.The only small downside was the organization on the first day, as the diving equipment only arrived on board in the evening.In summary, a fantastic trip with an incredible team. I highly recommend this cruise to all ocean and diving enthusiasts.

Loved it
As a first liveaboard I have taken a part of the experience couldn't been any better. The crew was always helpful and the service was good. Rental equipment were good quality. Highlight of the trip was definitely the morning dive where we got to see the dolphins. That made the early wake up worth it. Only minus I could think of was the fact that our cabin was located right above the engine room. I would recommend packing a pair of earplugs with you. Extra thanks to our dive guide Mario who made sure that we'll get the most out of our every each dive!

Great diving adventure for beginners or divers who want to gain more experience
The trip was perfect for a first LiveAboard experience. Easy but varied diving spots. The crew super friendly and helpful. The ship in great condition and always very clean. Organization was also top.The only two things I would improve: a little smaller dive groups, i.e. 1 dive guide more. And the diving material was partly very used and did not fit 100%.

Amazing trip with Amelie Adventures!
The boat crew & dive guides were all super friendly, helpful & took safety very seriously. Did my Nitrox course on board & the training was great. The food on board was good and plenty - exactly what you need after diving all day. The dives were amazing - dolphins, turtles, octopus, beautiful coral gardens,…. The rental equipment was fine - a little too cold for the water temperatures in December, so if your freeze easily, definitely bring a hood. Overall a great experience and well organized trip - 10/10 would recommend! 💙

Top for beginners
Ideal for people who want to try life on a liveaboard. The focus is on diving and the joy of it, not on luxury and comfort. The cabin on the upper deck was more than sufficient for the short trip. We saw a lot of great stuff from the wreck to the Blue Marlin.

An Unforgettable Liveaboard Experience in Egypt
My liveaboard trip in Egypt was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Everything exceeded my expectations and made this journey truly unforgettable. First of all, the crew was outstanding. Every single member of the team was professional, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. They created such a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere on board that it immediately felt like home. Their organization, attention to detail, and constant support—both on the boat and during the dives—were simply top-notch. The food was another highlight of the trip. Every meal was fresh, delicious, and varied, with plenty of options for everyone. After long and exciting dives, it was always something to look forward to. The kitchen team did an amazing job throughout the entire trip. The overall service and care on board were exceptional. From the dive briefings to the equipment handling and general hospitality, everything was perfectly organized. You could really feel how much the team cares about giving their guests the best possible experience. And of course, the dive sites were spectacular. We visited some truly stunning locations with beautiful reefs, great visibility, and incredible marine life. Every dive felt unique and exciting, making this trip a dream for any diver. All in all, this liveaboard was an amazing adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves diving. A huge thank you to the entire crew for their hard work, kindness, and dedication. I would come back anytime!

Good value for small amount, especially for beginners.
The “ Best of Hurghada “ trip visits the easily reachable divesites based on weather conditions and the experience level of the guests. It is a great option for beginners to have their first liveaboard experience, and for advanced divers if they are short on time. Dolphin House is a main highlight that everyone enjoys regardless of the experience level, however when it comes to other reefs the more advanced dives are the more beautiful the reefs will be. 50 years of dive tourism has left it’s mark on some of the easier divesites. Food is simple but delicious especially if you like Egyptian cuisine. Dive instructors are kind and professional, equipment quality and general safety is also good.

Smooth - Adventurous - Fun - Exciting (S.A.F.E)
Our trip started with a smooth pick-up from our hotel and we had a warm welcome on the boat. During our adventure the crew was very approachable and always ready to help: trouble with the airco, a flooding toilet, a stuffy nose, difficulties to get into our wetsuit, ... we could always count on them. There was always room for a quick joke or some laughter, which made the trip even more fun. What made our trip extra exciting was the fact that we encountered dolphins for three consecutive days and that the crew allowed us to go snorkeling with them. Truly an amazing experience! A tip for people who rely heavily on wifi: buy a local SIM/eSIM upfront to have better coverage, because the wifi on the boat is not the best. Also be aware that you'll go to places where there is no coverage at all, regardless of which SIM card you use. That said, we had an amazing trip with Amelie Adventures and we will definitely come back to discover more of what the Red Sea has to offer.

Fantastic experience
The experience has been very good. The food and all the staff on board have been fantastic. We would have liked to set sail on the first day instead of waiting in port, but we understand that when there are many divers the whole check-in is longer. The same for the departure, we leave at 1 pm instead of 6 pm. It would have been nice to know about it for better organization. It would also have been nice to know that you can pay for all the extras by card but with a 3% surcharge. As for the diving it has been very good, we swam with dolphins, we snorkeled in wrecks, and we saw all kinds of fish and corals.

Amazing trip with excellent people.
I had an awesome diving tour seeing a variety of sea wildlife. The staff were very helpful and gave lots of advice. They even made announcements if dolphins were nearby so people can put their snorkels on and see them. The food was tasty and nutritious. The boat itself didn't rock as much. Their diving briefs were clear and detailed. The boat was small so I would not recommend for people who are around 6ft 3 or taller

Amazing Amelia boat diving trip
Every little detail had been planned for. Every dive calculated, even when it was a group of 15+ people. Attention to detail around the boat was impeccable. We always had time to unwind and socialize before the eat, sleep and dive regime. Everybody loved it. I did a few courses, it was easy and every aspect was clearly explained.
