Tranquility Red Sea Liveaboard

M/Y Tranquillity is a stunning 45m steel hulled Red Sea liveaboard, built and designed for comfort, safety and stability. And with only 24 guests on board, our divers love the oodles on spaces on board as well as fabulous facilities, guides and crew. She is a true home from home. Is this diving perfection? We like to think so!

The lower deck cabins (1-7) have individual climate control, monitor with media player, private en-suite bathrooms and portholes windows in the cabin. Or why not upgrade to one of the upper deck master cabins (10-13)? The 2 twin and 2 double bedded masters have the addition of a picture window in the main cabin and portholes in bathrooms. The suite on the main deck (9) is the largest cabin on board and you will love panoramic windows 24/7 picture postcard view as well as double bed and masses of space.

On the main deck, you can relax in the airy salon with two large TV screens. A small library of books for exchange is maintained onboard, as well as fish identification books for when you spot a new find for your logbook. The dining area is seperate, and the chef delights in serving up freshly prepared meals (buffet style) snacks and post dive treats. On the upper deck and fly deck you will find a spacious sundeck with chaise lounges, deck chairs, jacuzzi and bar, as well as BBQ area. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the view!

The dive deck is very generous. Kit up in your dive spot as tanks are filled in situ. You will find a large central camera table, plus charging stations. Diving can be done from the rear platform or wihzz to sites on the zodiacs. And at the end of the diving, getting back in is a doddle with the zodiac ladders.
