Explore the Red Sea in style on the Sinaistar liveaboard. Cruising through the heart of the Red Sea, the Sinaistar was built for convenience and comfort. This 38.6-meter vessel combines modern design, thoughtful amenities, and a spirit of exploration that calls to divers looking for something more. The Red Sea is a world-class destination, rich in coral gardens, walls, pelagic encounters, and shipwrecks that tell stories from another time. Aboard Sinaistar, you experience it all from the best seat possible.
Launched in 2023, the Sinaistar liveaboard was created by divers who understand what makes time at sea exceptional. With a wide beam of 7.8 meters and twin MAN engines, it glides effortlessly across open waters while maintaining a steady, comfortable ride. The yacht accommodates up to 26 guests across 13 cabins, offering an intimate, social atmosphere for divers and travelers alike. Everything on board has been designed with divers in mind, from the spacious dive deck, individual gear stations, convenient rinse tanks, and large camera table ideal for photographers reviewing and prepping shots between dives. Two 5.5-meter RIBs provide quick transfers to nearby sites and remote reefs, ensuring no time is wasted. With high-capacity compressors and a Nitrox system, the Sinaistar is equipped to handle multiple dives per day for everyone on board.
Comfort at Every Turn - Cabins aboard the Sinaistar are bright, efficient, and built for relaxation, equipped with individually controlled air conditioning, private bathrooms, and secure storage. On the upper deck, guests will find six cabins, two featuring double beds and four with twin configurations, all with natural light and a sense of openness. The lower and main decks host the remaining cabins, each thoughtfully arranged to maximize comfort after a long day underwater. Evenings aboard the Sinaistar are relaxed and communal. Guests gather in the main lounge to review dive footage, share stories, or unwind with a drink before dinner. The outdoor decks offer plenty of space for lounging, stargazing, or soaking in the seabreeze as the boat glides toward the next destination.
Beauty Below the Surface - The Sinaistar explores the full range of the Red Sea’s diving regions, from the wrecks and reefs of the northern routes, to the wild, remote sites of the southern reaches. Itineraries typically run from Saturday to Saturday, giving guests a full week of discovery and adventure. Each trip offers up to four dives per day, including night dives where permitted, and covers a mix of walls, drift dives, coral plateaus, and historical wrecks.
In the north, divers can expect sites such as the Thistlegorm, Ras Mohammed, and Abu Nuhas, where vibrant corals and schooling fish swirl around relics from the past. To the south, the routes around Brothers, Daedalus, Elphinstone, St. John’s, and Rocky Island bring encounters with hammerheads, oceanic whitetips, and vast coral formations. The diversity of marine life and underwater landscapes make every trip aboard Sinaistar completely unique and wildly awe inspiring.
Sinaistar is ideal for divers of all levels, from seasoned explorers to those looking to expand their horizons. With three experienced dive guides on board, groups remain small and personal, allowing for tailored experiences and flexible dive plans. Photographers appreciate the dedicated space for camera prep, and technical divers benefit from professional support and advanced facilities. Even non-diving guests can enjoy lounging on deck, snorkeling near shore, or soaking in the views. The crew’s attention to detail ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience throughout the journey. From safety briefings to gear handling, they anticipate needs before they arise, ensuring a perfect blend of efficiency and hospitality.
Beyond the Dive Deck - While diving is the focus, life on board brings its own rhythm. Fresh meals are prepared daily, featuring a blend of Mediterranean and local flavors, and served family-style to foster connection among guests. Between dives, guests can nap, read, sunbathe, or chat with fellow divers over coffee. As night falls, the water stills, and the boat becomes a quiet retreat under a teeming night sky. The Red Sea has a reputation for changing the way divers see the underwater world, and Sinaistar amplifies that magic. Aside from access to incredible dive sites, explorers enjoy a sense of freedom and discovery that comes from living at sea for a week, being guided by professionals who care deeply about the ocean and the experience they provide.
Why Choose Sinaistar - Sinaistar is a vessel built for serious diving, while wrapped in an atmosphere of relaxation. Guests come for the reefs and wrecks, but leave remembering the still mornings at sea, the laughter over dinner, and the serenity that comes only when the rest of the world fades to blue. For divers who value both exploration and comfort, this is a liveaboard that delivers on every front. The Red Sea is waiting, and the Sinaistar is ready to take you there. From historic wrecks to wild pelagic waters, from sunrise dives to quiet nights beneath the stars, this is not a journey that will stay with you long after you’ve surfaced.
