Highlights

Variety of cabin options with ocean views
New hull design for improved speed and stability

At 45 meters in length, the Sea Serpent Grand is one of the flagship vessels of the Sea Serpent Fleet, purpose-built for liveaboard diving in the Red Sea and designed to deliver both luxury and performance. Accommodating up to 28 guests across 14 en-suite cabins, this modern boat combines sleek lines with a high-performance hull for maximum stability and comfort. Cabins include 6 twins and 2 doubles on the lower deck, 4 sun deck cabins with flexible twin/double configuration, a main deck suite, and an upper deck panoramic suite with breathtaking views.

Onboard amenities are tailored for comfort between dives: relax in the stylish salon with an entertainment system, stay connected with complimentary Wi-Fi, or enjoy the shaded lounge areas on the sun deck. Every detail is designed with divers in mind, from the large dive platform to the Helium/Oxygen blending station and Haskel pump for technical and rebreather support. Certified divers benefit from complimentary Nitrox, and a full range of recreational and XR courses is available.

As with all Sea Serpent Fleet vessels, safety is paramount. The Sea Serpent Grand is equipped with EPIRB, VHF, GPS, radar, AIS, SART, CCTV, and AED, as well as an ENOS diver-locating system. Safety briefings and fire drills are standard on every trip, ensuring complete peace of mind as you explore the Red Sea’s legendary reefs and wrecks.

Great liveaboard, great crew.....happy days
Food was probably best we've had on a liveaboard and we've been on quite a few. Crew and guides were really attentive and helpful throughout. Enos satellite tracking for divers is a first for me and indicated the attention to safety of all.

5-star liveaboard
We had few other dive boats at the dive sites (April). The crew was very attentive and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. Our dive guide had a lot of experience and the food was remarkably varied and delicious for this long time at sea. A 5 star liveaboard and highly recommended.

Beautiful trip
We really liked, how easy we could pass the airport of Hurghada at arrival because our driver already got the visa ready. The space we had on the boat was fantastic and there was really good food almost everytime. The crew was very helpful and courteous. Having the diving gear always ready is very convenient and the staggered diving in groups was well planned. In the end there was a doctor organised to come on the boat for the PCR-Test, what we really appreciated.

The crew were amazing. The food was excellent
The diving was amazing. The briefing was detailed and clear. But what stood out for me was the exceptional crew: from the captain, to the chef, wait staff and deck helpers. They were the friendliest and most hard working people I have met. The food was beyond my expectations with varieties, presentations and taste. I was joking that I could come back to the trip just for the food! The dive guides are professional, competent but it would be even more awesome if they could be more patient and gentle with less experienced divers.

Great Experience
Dive, eat, sleep - repeat... The boat was in good condition, the cabin was clean, the crew were very accommodating and the various meals throughout the day tasted fantastic. The dive briefings were fine, although some dives were executed slightly differently. The experienced guides made the diving fun and the sharks sweetened our safety stops.

Great week with great guides and top crew!
It was my first safari and certainly not the last! :-DThe crew was very helpful, you didn't have to ask for help, they were always there immediately. The guides were all perfect and super friendly. They always planned the dives perfectly and if anyone needed help, they were also on the spot.Nitrox was really always available until the last dive and the tanks were always well filled to 210 bar, everything was great.The food was always delicious and very varied, it never got boring and hungry you never got up from the table, quite the opposite. ;-)I will most likely do the next safari with the fleet as well!

Absolutely amazing and worth future trips with the same Fleet
Hamzah dive guide did an amazing job with a challenging guest. He did his best to help that person develop their personal diving skills even when the guest refused to accept his teaching. The salon and deck crew were amazing and friendly. they were always there to help with everything. Mohammed and Mahmoud from the Salon made every effort to provide for the gust the best possible experience.

I have had a very good week
Good diving which was the goal of this trip. We had the chance to complete all dives. Sad was the negative evolution of the corals but we still got plenty to see including rays, turtles and several species of sharks (Thresher, Hammerhead, Silky). Good atmosphere between clients. The Dive guides and the crew were both professional and friendly. Lots of humour too. I really enjoyed being around this crew. From mechanics to dive guides, no exceptions This was ther first time for me that we all got ENOS senders without any restraints. Safety information and drills have been good on a previous Sea Serpent trip. This time was even better. Food was good for me with plenty of vegetables and fruit. Meat and fish were good but not exceptional. Snacks were good and plentiful
