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.

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 - would go again
We had a really great time onboard the MY Blue. Everyone was super friendly and attentive - even when we had one day of lower visibility, the captain and the rest of the crew went out of their way to find dive spots with better viz, which was highly appreciated by everyone. Diving in the Red Sea is always such a pleasure, with the most fantastic dive sites. The food was even better than you'd usually find on livaboards with quite varied menus for lunch and dinner, which is an undervalued thing when you're onboard for a week :) We'd be more than happy to go with MY Blue gain.

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!

An unforgettable dive experience
Truly enjoyed my trip with the M/Y Blue. Abu Dabab, Daedalus, Elphinstone and especially Brothers are amazing dive sites, with beautiful corals, some wrecks and plenty of marine life - with the longimanus as highlight of course! The crew and dive guides made this trip extra special. Always smiling, in for some fun, friendly and helpful - giving everything to make it for everyone a holiday to remember. Can definitely recommend this liveaboard!

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!

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.

A wonderful week of cruising that I organized for 9 people. All are embedded!! Thank you and congratulations to the whole team.
Every day was the most beautiful. Grandiose dives on magnificent wrecks, a very beautiful marine life. We had a visit from the Dauphins twice. Once we dived in with it. Mythical wrecks. Scooter rides (DPV) is just the best on the wrecks and in Sidemount, you can go and get around and see everything, even where some have never been.I organized this cruise for nine divers. All of them were marked for life by this sumptuous week.A flawless organization from the exit of the plane to the return to the airport.Thank you to Liveboard and the whole My Blue Team!!It is the number 1 boat in the Red Sea today!
