About

Blue Horizon is a 41-metre wooden liveaboard that runs Master Liveaboards' full Egyptian Red Sea catalogue. Thirteen ensuite cabins, from Classic Twins to Premium Doubles, sleep 26 guests, and a 2024 refit keeps the hull a notch above bare-bones wooden boats without reaching superyacht territory. What sets it apart is range. The same boat covers northern wreck weeks, the shark-heavy offshore run to the Brothers, Daedalus and Elphinstone, and the remote Deep South at Rocky Island, Zabargad and St John's, so you choose the itinerary rather than the vessel. Northern Red Sea Wrecks & Reefs and Strait of Tiran & North run year-round from Hurghada and suit newer liveaboard divers. The offshore and Deep South weeks depart Hurghada or Port Ghalib roughly March to November, are weather-dependent, and assume comfort in current and blue water. A nitrox membrane feeds the boat as a surcharge, and rebreather and technical divers are catered for on request and subject to availability. Government marine-park and port fees are collected by the operator.

What Divers Say

Blue Horizon reads as the do-everything hull of the Master Red Sea pair. The same wooden boat is booked for northern wreck weeks, the shark-heavy Brothers-Daedalus-Elphinstone offshore run and the remote Rocky-Zabargad-St John's Deep South, so travelers tend to choose by itinerary rather than by vessel. The 2024 refit and Premium Double cabins place it a step above bare-bones wooden liveaboards while staying short of superyacht luxury. A recurring theme is fit-to-experience: the offshore and Deep South weeks are pitched at current-comfortable, experienced divers, while the northern wrecks and Tiran are the accessible entry points for newer liveaboard divers. SSI guiding and honest, wooden-boat value come through as the consistent framing rather than luxury polish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which trip should I pick for a first liveaboard?
Northern Red Sea Wrecks & Reefs and Strait of Tiran & North are the gentler starts. The BDE, Daedalus/St John's and Rocky/Zabargad weeks want solid current experience, roughly Advanced level plus some logged offshore dives.
Where does Blue Horizon depart from?
Hurghada (HRG) for the northern routes, and Port Ghalib (fly Marsa Alam, RMF) for the Deep South and St John's routes.
Is nitrox included?
No, nitrox is a surcharge. The boat carries a membrane system, so bring your nitrox certification card.
Can it dive the Brothers and the Thistlegorm on one trip?
Not usually on the same week. The Thistlegorm sits on the northern wreck weeks and the Brothers on the offshore and Northern & Brothers weeks. The 10-night Ultimate Red Sea covers the widest span.
Do you support rebreather or technical diving?
Yes, on request and subject to availability. Arrange your gas and support with the operator in advance.
When can it reach the Brothers, Daedalus and the Deep South?
The marine-park offshore and Deep South routes run roughly March to November and are weather-dependent.
