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.

The dives as well as the life on board was very pleasant. I had a great time, the food was very tasty, a good mix between western and local cuisine. The crew was amazing! They were so attentive and helpful and helped me prepare, before I even knew I might need help. The dive guides were awesome We saw and swam several times with dolphins, a magical time

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.

Great experience for good money
We had a really good time during our 8d/7n trip with the sunlight. The crew is super friendly and anxious 24/7. The food is amazing and fresh and they try to serve all the leftovers from the days before in a new and modern way of cooking. I really love that! Please don't stop this. Diving was great, we did 17 dives at Deadalus, big and small brother, elphinstone, Abu Dabba and Marsa shouna. The guide is really great. He makes diving safe and guards you properly through the red sea. We saw many Longimanus and a silk shark, Mantas, Murray eel and many colorful fish and corals. We did one night dive which was amazing, loved it! Guest were mostly Russians, just 6 European guests (including us). There is a free group transfer from Hurghada Airport (just ask for it via email, otherwise they support you with a private transfer which we payed 60€ for, because flight times didn't fit). The boat itself is not a brand new one but still offers everything you need. Definitely recommended!

Great and well run fuss-free dive safari for more experienced divers.
A Russian company (so expect a lot of Russians) it was a refreshing experience for a more adult diving crowd. Not too many rules or hand-holding, people left to their own devices and a great atmosphere in the evenings. Really good food and lots and lots of it, great diving conditions and good guides, good value for money and if you know how to dive already this is a great trip and company to do it with.

BDE in April with a nice team
Very nice trip ! The diving sites were beautiful. The cabin we had on the upper deck was large and comfy. The crew was friendly and helpful. The other guests were all from different countries so it was really cool talking together and socializing. The food onboard was really nice and the cook always prepared special dishes for me since I’m vegetarian. The guides have a perfect knowledge of the sites and are very professional. We would just have preferred if they’d have given us more instructions and advices on how to behave with the sharks, dolphins and all. Because we were a big groupe(9ppl) and everybody would just swim toward them so the sharks and all were annoyed and they would just swim away real quick. I think part of the problem was also the size of the groupe which should perhaps be divided in smaller groupes even though it takes more than 2 guides. Also be careful if you want to do the night dive you will need a torch, you can’t go without one. So if you don’t have your own or if your didn’t rent one they have no spare onboard. Same for the rest of the gear. They have no spare of nothing so be careful with you equipment. Anyways, we really enjoyed this trip very much and had a good time both onboard and underwater. We really recommend it as long as you’re okay with the few downsides we gave.
