The service and attention to detail of the staff was flawless. Absolutely top notch. The diving was pretty. There were less shark encounters than we hoped for but that was due to the season.

Best luxury dive safari money can biy
Red Sea is an amazing place to dive. We were on the boat for 2 weeks and did 2 separate tours. Several guests were on the yacht for a 2nd, 3rd or more times. Had some other Americans with us and they also said this boat is one of the best run they had ever been on.

Staff so helpful, friendly and happy. Food was prepared fresh and tasty by 3 chefs. Room and housekeeping was superior. Changed sheets and we had new towels for both room and after dive changed out.

Great week on a great boat
Seeing oceanic whitetips up close, and i mean CLOSE! The Blue boat is the nicest in the Blue Planet fleet, and easily the nicest of all the Egyptian Red Sea competitors that I could see. Dive guides were superb, and everything was taken care of to the smallest detail. Highly recommended. My only wish is that I had gone during peak season as we didn't see many hammerheads.

Totally loved it!
It was an awesome liveaboard. We had so much fun going to St. John’s reef. The crew members were super friendly and professional. Rooms were very clean and everyday housekeeping would make up your bed and clean all around. I have to say that we were also very well fed, every meal was special and delicious. The chef made sure we ate well, and dive masters made sure we dove well and safe. The debriefing was very professional and SMBs were required by every diver. They also provided gps locator for emergency and nitrox free of charge. Highly recommend this liveaboard and I would definitely dive with them again in the future.

Fantastic crew, boat and food
Whilst March is a little chilly and isn't the most active time of year for life in the Red Sea, the crew of M/Y Blue made our trip highly enjoyable and the food was second to none and the chef even prepared special meals for my vegan wife. Certainly wouldn't hesitate to book this boat again.

Fantastic Experience!!
Silky and oceanic whit tip sharks, beautiful healthy reefs full of colours and live. On the boat everything was great but the rooftop dinner really stood out. Our first time on a liveaboard but this has certainly exceeded expectations and we'll be back with the Blue Planet group!

Fantastic crew, every single one on board was extremely friendly and helpful. They truly cared about making sure all guests ans staff are having the best possible time. The boat was in great condition and the crew made sure it stays that way. Lastly the itinerary (Brothers, Daedalus, Elphinstone) was very well chosen and the dive guides had excellent knowledge about the sites and showed the highest level of professionalism.

Great trip and boat!
Fantastic trip to Elphinstone, Daedalus and Fury Shoals with awesome guides, crew & boat! Food and Service were outstanding (the best I had in Egypt!). I also loved all the small details this boat offers for a comfortable dive trip. At Daedalus they made sure that we are the first divers to enter the water to see Hammerhead sharks. Dive spots and times were chosen, so that there are not to many other divers around. Great job!

Fantastic Crew and Well Thought out
The dive locations were incredible with the incredible wall, swim through and deep blue diving. The team planned the route and schedules around other touring companies to ensure minimal divers were in the water at one time. The staff were excellent and impressionable. You will always be welcomed by a new towel folded animal after every dive! Lastly, on the last day you come into the harbour and spend the night within the harbour before you depart. This was really helpful as it provided a good opportunity to bond with you, your boat and neighbouring boats the last night. Highly recommend My Blue for your next Egyptian dive safari.

Excellent dive safari!
Itinerary was excellent (Daedalus, Zabargad and Rocky), we would make it again with pleasure! Dive briefings were very detailed and comprehensive. The yacht itself is the best of what we have seen in Egypt so far, so we would definitely prefer to go with this yacht again if we plan our next safari in Egypt.

Very good, spacious yacht (however surprisingly a lot of small things are poorly maintained despite the fact that boat is very new), however it was comfortable and enjoyable.

Beyond expectations
The boat is the perfect size to be alone or with others, the cabins have enough space, all very clean and tidy everyday. Everybody goes the extra mile to make your life as easy as possible and pleasant! The 3 chefs are excellent and the food they prepare is so delicious you’ll think you’re also in a gastronomic safari! The crew is vey kind, really knows how to make you feel special. I found the pillow to high, the crew found me a medium one. The diving sites are beautiful, diverse and full of life, the guides make you feel in secure at all times and free. Everything was very well organized. They have pills for seasickness on board, refill individual bottles for the water, books and magasins, you can buy upper body clothes in the boat.

This adventure on Blue was my first Liveaboard experience and it was simply stupendous!
When I stepped aboard for the first time, it became evident that Blue is a well-run, well-maintained vessel with a happy crew. Every detail, from the food, the sleeping quarters, the dive deck, etc., was meticulously attended to. I found the actual diving magical during the entire trip. Our dive guides were terrific. Everyone on the crew worked hard to ensure the Blue Liveaboard experience was second to none. There is nothing I observed that I thought could have been done better. I had a wonderful time during this entire dive trip and will definitely sail on Blue again! Bravo Blue!

AMAZING TRIP, 100% RECOMMENDED
Amazing stay at the MY Blue. The boat: it's great, the cabins very clean and spacious, the bathroom impeccable. They offer towels that are changed and a poncho for when you go diving. Crew is very friendly and helpful, and the dive guides are amazing. Diving: the route is fine, we would have liked to spend more days in Brothers (beautiful reef and pelagics sighted), two days in Daedalus was a bit heavy (but because we were not lucky either and we did not see large pelagics), we liked Elphinstone (very good reef and we could see dolphins) but many divers in the same dive (it is closer to the coast and more boats are approaching). Diving safety: great, very good briefings and they offered us a device called ENSO which is a GPS locator that gives more peace of mind. Food: it is SPECTACULAR. They adapt if you have any intolerances or food preferences. A lot of variety, everything very tasty, plated type + buffet. Breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner. Always available soft drinks, coffee, tea and water, plus snacks such as cookies and the like.Season and pelagic: we were lucky to spot hammerhead sharks and Longimanus, but the water was 29-30º at 30m, which makes hammerhead sharks go deeper, and Longimanus was just the beginning of the season, so spotting both was luckier than anything else. The good thing is that when you get out of the water you don't get cold.
