Highly recommended 👌
If you're considering a Red Sea liveaboard, I can't recommend JP Marine highly enough. The biggest reason was the incredible crew. Mohammed, our cruise director and fearless leader, was exceptional. His experience showed in everything he did. Every briefing was organized, clear, and informative, making everyone feel confident and prepared. Beyond that, his passion for sharks and marine life was contagious, and by the end of the trip he had created an atmosphere where the boat truly felt like family. A huge shoutout to our dive guide, Sindbad. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and fun. He is constantly studying and learning to become an even better guide. He took the time to learn your favorite marine life and somehow always managed to find and point it out underwater. Diving with him was an absolute highlight, and JP Marine is lucky to have him on their crew. On our return to port, we experienced an unavoidable injury onboard. It was during this moment that the professionalism of the crew truly stood out. Mohammed handled the situation with calm, organization, and obvious emergency training. Sindbad was incredibly thoughtful, caring, and supportive throughout. It gave me complete confidence that if an emergency ever occurred, you couldn't ask for a better team to be with. The food deserves its own review. Every meal was exceptional, with an impressive variety throughout the week while still bringing back some favorite dishes everyone looked forward to. And the desserts... absolutely unforgettable. I'll genuinely miss meal times on this boat! Special thanks to Hussain for adding thoughtful touches to every dining experience while keeping both the cabins and the entire boat spotless. I'd also like to recognize Abdo, who I had the pleasure of diving with once. He was calm, professional, and always prioritized diver safety. Thank you to our captain and assistant captain for safely navigating us to incredible dive sites and timing site relocation for optimum comfort. Homada and the rest of the deck crew were always there to help with gear, zodiac operations, and keeping everyone's spirits high. Finally, thank you to Ahmed, our mechanic, for keeping the compressors running flawlessly and making sure we always had air to breathe and a boat running at its best. This crew wasn't just excellent at their jobs. They genuinely cared about giving every guest the best experience possible. Thank you, JP Marine, for an unforgettable week in the Red Sea. I hope to dive with you all again someday!

A fantastic, safe, and unforgettable experience with exceptional dives, food, and company!
I have absolutely no complaints. The food, staff, dive guides, facilities, dive gear, safety, and dives themselves were all exceptional. Dives: Every day we had the option of at least 3 or 4 dives. We even got a really fun night dive in! The dives themselves were fantastic—we saw a whale shark, oceanic white tip sharks, sea turtles, reef shark, sea horse, Spanish dancers, and tons of beautiful and colorful fish. The dives were diverse and interesting, a mix of beautiful reefs, blue water dives searching for sharks, night dive, and exploring caves, wrecks, and a gorgeous coral garden. No hammerheads, but our guides tried everything for the best chance. Staff: Sergio and Tori were our dive guides and both were awesome—I always felt very safe and comfortable with them. Sergio made sure we never strayed too far from the reef. I hired a private guide (Tori) for myself because I’m not as experienced as the other divers, and it was really great! We had some very amazing and private encounters with the marine life that was worth the extra money and peace of mind having someone watching out for me. The boat staff were so helpful with all the gear and expert at picking us up from dives and finding us after a drift—I don’t know how they do it! Shoutout to Ghandi who always made me so excited before a dive and welcomed me back on to the boat after the dive. Mickey in the dining room was awesome at serving us also :) Gear: I never had a problem with any of the dive gear I rented and used—everything was in great shape. Food: the food was SO delicious! Always lots of options and desserts, and tasty snacks from the kitchen between dives—we never went hungry. Complimentary tea, coffee, water, sodas, and snacks 24 hours. Facilities: my room was everything I needed. Clean with good storage space, cabinets, standard ship bathroom. Air conditioner worked great. The lounge area and sun deck upstairs with lots of couches and bean bags were very comfortable. We even had a fun disco dance party 2 night with DJ Sergio’s music and disco lights! Thank you so much to the JP Marine crew for a fantastic first Liveaboard experience for me <3 I will never forget it!

We will be back!!
It was our first dive safari ever and we've loved it. Very organized and very friendly staff. Michael was the perfect dive guide, giving good briefings and a clear plan of the site and safety and what is expected. On some dives we could go on our own or with a guide. We had an amazing time and seen lots of cool animals. I even got a cake since it was my birthday that week, which I didn't expect at all :)We will be back for our next tour with the JP Marine!!! ❤️

Best week I ever had!
St. John's is a stunning reef and it's really worth it. Even though the boat itself does not necessarily promise much luxury in the cabins, it convinces with the mega sympathetic and helpful crew, the space on the sun decks and the beautiful reefs.
