Super trip, with a nice crew and beautiful dives!
We had a great trip. The crew does everything they can to give you a pleasant experience. For example, we got nice towel animals in your room twice a day. The food is superb, plenty of choice and they try to take everyone into account. For the BBQ evening, there was even more unpacking. Dive sites were superb. Quiet locations, with not too many divers. Unfortunately we saw few sharks due to the high temperatures, but that didn't make the experience any less fun.Thanks for the nice holiday!

Gladly again with the Blue
We had a fantastic week on board. The organization was excellent from start to finish – everything went professionally, relaxed and smoothly.The crew was incredibly friendly, helpful and always had a smile on their faces. You felt welcome and in good hands from the first moment. The guides were also top: safe, competent and with a lot of passion. They have selected great dive sites and given us wonderful experiences underwater.The boat was clean, well maintained and had enough space to relax. The food was varied and good – even between the dives, the physical well-being was always taken care of.The dives themselves were the absolute highlight: coral reefs, biodiversity and perfect conditions. Safety was always a top priority, without neglecting fun.Thank you to the whole team for this unforgettable trip. We would go on a liveaboard with you again at any time and can recommend Blue without reservation!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not a single thing to complain about
Offers an extremely high standard of quality in all aspects - safety is taken seriously, food is great, boat is in excellent condition, everyone clearly goes above and beyond basic work ethic. As a side-note: On our trip we only had 2 dive guides for ~20 divers, so for some dives and for some people that might be too few

By far one of the best liveaboards I have been on
This was by far one of the best experiences on a liveaboard. The dive guides are super friendly and highly experienced. The crew on the boat is extremely helpful and made sure everyone onboard was taken care of at all times even in the middle of the night. Lastly, the quality of the boat and cabins was superior. I would highly recommend this boat. Special thanks to Hussein (my dive guide), Maradona, Haitham, Darwish and Abu Salah (salon manager). Can’t wait to sail again on this boat.

Blue Heaven
First the off the boat and crew are top notch, anything you wanted or needed they did for you immediately. The diving itself was amazing but challenging, but as is usually the case it was also well worth the effort. We saw Hammerhead Sharks in a school of 15-20 and it was up close and an amazing experience. Going to the lighthouse on Daedalus Island was a nice break from being on the water. The kitchen staff and the food were both amazing, but the best part was the dive guides who kept you well informed and safe at all times. They also know all the best places to dive for the big stuff which needless to say is very helpful. Lastly we were fortunate to have a very friendly group of people (friends now) who helped make the trip even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this boat and crew as well as blue planet Liveaboard’s we will definitely be going back.

The food was a party in itself every day. Staff on the boat were very attentive and helpful. Always up for a bit of fun and were there for you before you even knew it was necessary. Dive guides were professional, had safety and comfort for the customers and made the dives simple and enjoyable. All in all a beautiful experience in the red sea, which unfortunately ended too quickly.

Fantastic liveaboard in the Red Sea at a fair price
I was on a liveaboard in the Red Sea with my brother for the first time.We were delighted with the quality of the M.V. Blue, there was more than enough space for the 22 guests. The service was outstanding, everything was thought of and all crew members were very courteous, attentive and extremely friendly throughout.Special highlights on our tour were the sightings of Longimanus, dolphins, octopus and turtles underwater while diving.Thank you! We would love to come back :)
