Highlights
Completely renovated in 2019, the MY Sunlight liveaboard is a 34m yacht offering year-round Red Sea dive safaris. She caters to 20 guests in 10 modest cabins, each with single and double beds, individually controlled air-conditioning, and private ensuite bathrooms. The indoor salon and dining room feature air-conditioning, comfortable sofas, and a drink station. A large, partially covered sunbathing area and an outdoor lounge are on the upper deck. The perfect place to hang out with your new dive buddies to swap dive stories at the end of the day.
Located at the stern of the boat is a large dive deck with rinse tanks, storage space, and a platform for easy entry into the 2 zodiacs or straight into the water. Divers can choose 3 itineraries, the North Route, South Route, and Deep South Route, aboard the M/Y Sunlight. The North Route is perfect for wreck lovers with dives as the world-famous SS Thistlegorm, Rosalie Muller, and Carnatic, as well as reef dives at Ras Mohammed National Park & Tiran. The Southern Red Sea route offers amazing drift diving and big fish action at the Brothers, Elphinstone, and Daedalus. For the more adventurous, the Deep South Route explores that little bit further to St. Johns for pristine diving and stops at Rocky, Zabargad, and Elphinstone.
Whichever route you choose, the crew of the MY Sunlight liveaboard is on hand to show you the fantastic dive sites of the Red Sea. Book online today to reserve your space.

Value for money is the best
All ideal. The facilities of the boat are old, but value for money is ideal. It is compensated by a lovely crew.

Amazing experience for a first liveaboard
First time on a liveaboard and it couldn't have been better ! The dives were great, the crew was nice and helpful, the food was magnificent. The reefs are very beautiful and we had some luck with sharks and turtles. Everyone on the boat got along great and it was a really fun time. The Liveaboard team was also excellent, answering all our questions and accommodating to our requests.

AN INCREDIBLE TRIP
I went on a trip with my brother, it was for me the first life on board and for him, the second. I can say that it was an incredible experience. Although they changed the port of arrival and notified us a week before the ship left, both the company and the crew solved everything perfectly at all times. I want to personally thank the whole crew for how comfortable they make you feel, from the cook, who despite being in the middle of the sea, I can calmly say that he is a barbarian in the kitchen, every day he was amazed with how good everything was. Also Mahmud, the waitress, a 10-year-old guy. Sometimes we got dizzy because of the waves and we didn't have dinner and he always kept some of our dinner just in case we wanted to, super nice and he loves to learn languages in a self-taught way. Also to Hamada, the dive guide, that both the breefings and the dives were incredible, always looking for incredible animals or showing us things that we could overlook as we are not from the area.Overall it was an incredible trip, we saw hammerheads, oceanic whitetip sharks, ovispo rays, turtles to bore and even a whale shark, what more could you ask for?I asked them if I only did the southern route and they said no, they changed, so without a doubt, if I go back to the Red Sea, I will go back with them.

Family atmosphere like at home
We had a great week of vacation!Generally speaking, the whole team is super nice and everything is very well organized. Even before arriving there are many exchanges to organize our pick-up at our hotel (included in the price). You can board the boat, eat and sleep there the day before departure, while all passengers arrive. You are very quickly put at ease and you feel at home!Once on board we never lacked anything. The staff was very caring. The boat was very clean and we were 15 divers so not too many. There were plenty of common areas so that we didn't have to lock ourselves in the cabins. The boat is certainly smaller than others but there is everything you need on board and we don't step on each other.Our cabin on the lower deck was small but very good and more than enough. We slept very well. The shower is very hot with pressure and it's very appreciable when you come back from the dives when the water was at 24°C!The meals on board were all excellent and above all very varied. We had local food but also a little more international dishes. The 2 chef brothers cook wonderfully, they delighted us! The buffet was generous, we were able to help ourselves multiple times. On board, everything is included (even sodas) except beers which are extra. And if you're afraid of feeling peckish between dives, there are always a few self-service snacks.As for the dives, we didn't get to see a lot of sharks but we did some great dives and saw some beautiful underwater scenery. Despite a group of 9 people + our guide, we never felt like we were part of an underwater summer camp. Our guide was able to give enough freedom to each of us while ensuring guidance and safety. This is something we enjoyed immensely as dive instructors. Thank you for that!
