Amelie Safari Liveaboard: Dive the Red Sea in Intimate Style

With just 12 guests on board, the Amelie Safari Liveaboard offers a boutique diving experience in Egypt’s Red Sea – perfect for short escapes, private charters, and unforgettable adventures beneath the surface.

The Red Sea, Reimagined

Egypt’s Red Sea is world-renowned among divers for its spectacular coral gardens, haunting wrecks, and abundance of marine life — from shimmering schools of anthias to majestic oceanic whitetips. But while the diving is consistently first-class, the experience on board can vary greatly. That’s where the Amelie Safari Liveaboard stands out.

Rather than packing in the crowds, Amelie offers a more personal, relaxed, and bespoke approach, accommodating just 12 guests. Whether you’re short on time and craving a 3-night mini escape, or planning a full 7-night deep-dive into the Red Sea’s wonders, this intimate liveaboard brings a refreshing twist to luxury diving.

A Boutique Liveaboard Experience

The Amelie Safari is designed with comfort, connection, and community in mind. The boat features six cosy cabins on the lower deck, each with twin bunk beds, personal storage, charging stations, and port-hole windows for natural light and sea views. With just two shared bathrooms, cleanliness is a priority, and freshwater showers provide post-dive refreshment.

Social life revolves around the welcoming indoor saloon and dining area, where guests enjoy freshly prepared Egyptian cuisine, served buffet-style at the drinks station. But it’s the expansive upper decks that really set Amelie apart — a spacious outdoor covered lounge, a front sun deck, and a high deck with comfy mattresses offer plenty of options to stretch out and soak up the sun or sea breeze between dives.

Short Trips, Deep Experiences

One of the biggest draws of Amelie Safari is its flexibility. While most liveaboards focus on 7-night itineraries, Amelie uniquely caters to those short on time with 3-night mini safaris. These shorter trips are ideal for travellers looking to blend a Red Sea dive adventure into a broader Egyptian holiday — perfect for combining with visits to Luxor, Cairo, or the Sinai.

Longer 7-night routes are also available, exploring iconic dive sites such as:

SS Thistlegorm – the legendary WWII wreck, packed with sunken motorbikes, rifles, and trucks.
Ras Mohammed National Park – with vibrant walls, swirling pelagics, and kaleidoscopic reefs.
The Brothers Islands – remote and dramatic, home to schooling hammerheads and thresher sharks.
Elphinstone Reef – a drop-off paradise teeming with large pelagics, including oceanic whitetips.

Each itinerary is thoughtfully curated to balance thrilling dives with relaxed downtime, offering a rich dive holiday without the usual bustle of a large group.

Designed for Divers

Amelie is built with the diver in mind. The large dive deck at the rear of the boat makes gearing up hassle-free, with plenty of space and practical layout. Nitrox is included at no extra charge for certified divers — a major perk for those wanting longer, safer bottom times.

Perfect for Small Group Charters

Because of its intimate size, Amelie is also ideal for private group charters. Whether you’re a dive club, a family, or a close group of friends, hiring the boat ensures you can customise your itinerary, select your dive sites, and enjoy your own schedule without compromise. It’s like having your own floating dive resort — one that moves with you to the best dive sites the Red Sea has to offer.
