Sea Treasure

Boat

M/Y Sea Treasure brings genuine large-yacht volume to Egyptian liveaboard diving. The current operator presentation describes a 2026 debut, an overall length of 45 metres, five decks and a maximum of 36 guests. A separate managing-fleet record describes the launch as 2025 and the length as 46 metres, but both agree on the feature that matters most to rooming: exactly 18 guest cabins spread above the lower-deck restaurant and working areas.

The scale is used thoughtfully. The air-conditioned restaurant has broad sea-facing windows and enough separation from the lounge for meals to feel like a distinct part of the day. Breakfast and lunch are presented as buffets, while the operator describes a more structured evening dinner. The panoramic indoor salon uses large sofas, 65-inch screens and long windows for briefings, image review or a cool retreat from the afternoon sun. Three bars and refreshment points reduce the need for a full group to gather in one place.

Outdoor life extends over several levels. Open loungers are balanced by deep-shade seating, so a guest can find direct sun, moving air or protection during the same surface interval. The highest leisure deck is organised around a panoramic outdoor jacuzzi, and the managing fleet also lists a massage corner. These are real comfort advantages after repeated dives, but they do not turn the yacht into an unattended resort: jacuzzi access, glassware, footwear and wet-deck rules remain subject to the crew’s safety instructions.

Sea Treasure’s dive deck is designed for a large group without asking everyone to work from the same narrow aisle. Personal stations, storage, tank handling space and two Zodiacs support staggered teams, while Nitrox is available for certified divers when ordered. The deck crew controls filling, analysers and cylinder movement. Camera users should request the assigned preparation and charging area during the boat briefing, keeping wet housings and high-load chargers away from cabin sockets.

The current operator safety list includes life rafts and life jackets, fire alarms and firefighting systems, emergency oxygen, first-aid kits, GPS, navigation and radio communication, professional guides, a written Emergency Action Plan and briefings before sailing and diving. Guests still have an active role: learn both escape routes from the assigned cabin, keep corridors clear, attend the muster briefing and never leave unsupported electrical equipment charging in an empty room.

Cabin

Sea Treasure accommodates 36 guests in exactly 18 ensuite, individually air-conditioned cabins. The operating fleet’s deck inventory is complete:

• 6 Main Deck Twin Cabins: two single beds, broad sea-view window, private bathroom with shower and toilet, individually controlled air conditioning and storage; maximum 2 guests each
• 2 Main Deck Master Jacuzzi Suites: one double/king bed, sea-view window and a private indoor jacuzzi within the ensuite bathroom area, plus shower, toilet, individually controlled air conditioning and storage; maximum 2 guests each
• 4 Sun Deck Twin Cabins: two single beds, sea-view window, private bathroom with shower and toilet, individually controlled air conditioning and storage; maximum 2 guests each
• 2 Sun Deck Master Jacuzzi Suites: one double/king bed, private ensuite jacuzzi, shower and toilet, sea-view window, individually controlled air conditioning and storage; maximum 2 guests each
• 2 Sun Deck Panorama Suites: one king-size double bed, approximately 180-degree panoramic windows, private shower and toilet, individually controlled air conditioning and storage; maximum 2 guests each
• 2 Jacuzzi Deck Twin Cabins: two single beds, high-deck sea view, private shower and toilet, individually controlled air conditioning and storage; maximum 2 guests each

The count is exact: 8 cabins on the main deck, 8 on the sun deck and 2 on the Jacuzzi Deck equal 18 rooms; at two people per room, the maximum is 36. The lower deck contains the galley, restaurant and two guide cabins rather than saleable guest accommodation. The two guide rooms are not included in the 18-cabin guest total.

Couples have six clearly differentiated premium options: four Master Jacuzzi Suites and two Panorama Suites. The Master category’s defining feature is the private indoor jacuzzi; the Panorama category instead prioritises the broadest outlook. A jacuzzi should not be promised in a Panorama Suite unless the specific room confirmation says so. Likewise, the main- and sun-deck twin rooms are the natural choice for dive partners, while the two highest-deck twins appeal to guests who value extra separation from the main accommodation corridor.

Current partner material publishes 120-centimetre twin beds and a 160-centimetre king as examples across the yacht, along with towels, ponchos, shampoo and hair dryers. It does not publish a reliable floor area for any category, and it does not map every bed width to a numbered cabin. No square metres are invented here. When bed width, steps, window orientation or jacuzzi access is important, the booking should name the category and cabin number.

All guest categories are above the waterline in the current deck description and use wide exterior windows rather than lower-deck portholes. That brings daylight and views but does not make the rooms identical: proximity to the salon, restaurant, jacuzzi, stairs, engines and outdoor gathering areas varies. Light sleepers and guests with limited mobility should discuss priorities before the rooming list is closed.

Diving

Sea Treasure is promoted across a broad Red Sea programme: North, North & Dahab, North & Brothers, Brothers–Daedalus–Elphinstone, Daedalus & Fury Shoals, Deep South St. John’s, Elba and Sataya. These routes serve different divers. Northern wreck-and-reef weeks can suit qualified guests building liveaboard experience, while Brothers, Daedalus, Elphinstone and remote Elba departures demand stronger current skills, reliable DSMB deployment and the certification stated on the dated trip.

The representative North & Brothers departure combines Safaga reefs, the two Brothers Islands and the northern wreck corridor, including possibilities such as SS Thistlegorm and Giannis D, with Ras Mohammed used when navigation and permissions allow. A published July 2026 programme requires Advanced Open Water or equivalent plus at least 20 logged dives, plans around 16 dives and describes three to four entries on active days.

At Brothers, exposed walls, deeper wrecks and moving water can bring thresher sharks, hammerheads, grey reef sharks, tuna and other pelagics, but the sites are not a wildlife show. The northern sector shifts the emphasis toward history and structure: cargo holds, locomotives and wartime vehicles on Thistlegorm; the angled hull and engine spaces of Giannis D; and coral-rich reef corners around Ras Mohammed. Wreck penetration is undertaken only within training, guide plan, gas and conditions.

Nitrox and the two Zodiacs support the operational programme, but the base page does not confirm that Nitrox is free on every departure. Equipment rental, 15-litre cylinders, training and private guiding must also be checked on the dated offer. With 36 possible guests, team division matters: customers should know their guide group, tender, maximum depth, pickup signal and lost-buddy procedure before every entry rather than following another group’s plan.

Sea Treasure can operate northern wreck routes, specialist dolphin weeks and advanced offshore expeditions. The representative programme below follows a vessel-specific North & Brothers departure published for 18–25 July 2026: 8 days / 7 nights, approximately 16 dives, Advanced Open Water or equivalent and at least 20 logged dives. It is rewritten in original sales language and preserves operational flexibility.

North & Brothers — Representative 8 Days / 7 Nights

Day 1 — Hurghada arrival and embarkation
The arranged transfer meets guests according to the confirmed flight and hotel schedule and brings them to Sea Treasure’s assigned marina. On board, the team checks passports, certification, logbooks, medical declarations and equipment requests before allocating the 18 cabins. The vessel briefing introduces the five decks, escape routes, muster procedure, fire response, life jackets, oxygen and Zodiac rules. Divers assemble and test their equipment while shore support is still available. Dinner and an unhurried first night allow the group to settle in; no arrival-day dive is promised.

Day 2 — Safaga reefs and the first night dive
Sea Treasure sails toward Safaga for the first working day. Sheltered coral gardens provide a sensible environment for weight checks, buoyancy assessment, air-consumption observation and team organisation before the offshore leg. Depending on the final route, sites around Abu Soma, Panorama Reef or another suitable Safaga reef may be considered, but the captain is not bound to a marketing name. A possible night dive reveals crustaceans, hunting morays, lionfish and other nocturnal behaviour. The day is about finding an efficient rhythm without sacrificing the quality of the reef.

Day 3 — Big Brother and Little Brother
After an overnight passage, the two isolated islands rise from deep water far from the coast. The published plan aims for three dives divided between Big and Little Brother. Walls covered with soft coral, plateaus, the Numidia and Aida wrecks, and blue-water corners create several options, but strong current and surface conditions decide what is realistic. Thresher sharks, hammerheads, grey reef sharks and pelagic schools are possible rather than assured. There is no night diving inside the marine park. Every entry begins with a current check and a clear Zodiac pickup plan.

Day 4 — Northbound transition and Ras Mohammed
Sea Treasure turns north after Brothers. Travel distance and sea state determine how quickly the next diving sector is reached, so this day may combine a transit with selected reef dives rather than follow a single fixed list. When Ras Mohammed fits the navigation plan, sites around Shark and Yolanda Reef, Anemone City or Jackfish Alley can introduce steep walls, coral pinnacles and dense schooling fish. The guide chooses the profile for current and experience. A site’s famous name never overrides the need for a controlled entry, disciplined depth and timely ascent.

Day 5 — SS Thistlegorm from several perspectives
The Thistlegorm rewards more than one dive. A first circuit establishes the bow, stern, locomotives and current; later entries can focus on cargo holds containing motorcycles, trucks and wartime equipment. The wreck lies deep enough, and can be busy enough, that route discipline matters. Penetration is reserved for divers with the right training and control, following the guide through an agreed opening. Those remaining outside still encounter an imposing structure covered with soft coral and surrounded by schooling fish. A night dive occurs only if the operator, mooring, traffic and group conditions support it.

Day 6 — Abu Nuhas and Giannis D
The northern wreck corridor continues at Shaab Abu Nuhas. Giannis D is a likely highlight, lying at an angle with a recognisable stern, engine-room area and coral-covered superstructure. Other wrecks or the surrounding reef may replace it when conditions or congestion make a different choice better. Photographers can work with shafts of light, machinery and reef fish without entering enclosed spaces. The guide explains which sections are open, which require overhead training and where current may accelerate along the hull. A final reef dive can vary the day’s visual language after repeated metal structures.

Day 7 — Final reefs and return to Hurghada
Two, or at most three, final dives are planned before the return to port. The captain may use a sheltered Hurghada or northern reef that fits the travel distance and safe no-fly interval. These last entries often provide relaxed coral scenery and time to enjoy smaller subjects after the exposed walls and large wrecks. Once diving finishes, guests rinse and drain equipment only in the assigned areas, settle any extras and verify transfer details. Dinner is served aboard after arrival, and guests normally spend the final night in their cabins rather than leaving the vessel early.

Day 8 — Breakfast, checkout and onward transfer
After breakfast, guests return rental items, inspect drawers and charging points, and leave the cabin by the confirmed checkout time. The arranged vehicle follows the flight or hotel plan provided to the operator. Departure timing must respect the diver’s computer and the operator’s no-fly rule; a convenient flight is not automatically a safe flight. The exact marina, transfer sequence and airport arrival estimate belong in the final travel documents.

Choosing Sea Treasure’s other routes

North emphasises Abu Nuhas, classic wrecks and accessible reef variety. North & Dahab extends toward the Sinai sites, while Sataya focuses more strongly on reefs and respectful dolphin snorkelling. These programmes may accept a different certification or experience level from North & Brothers, but every guest still needs recent skills appropriate to the actual current and depth.

Brothers–Daedalus–Elphinstone is the advanced blue-water choice, linking isolated walls and plateaus where current, waves and negative entries may be part of the day. Daedalus & Fury Shoals balances an exposed offshore reef with the more sheltered coral gardens and dolphin possibilities of the south. Deep South St. John’s adds caverns, pinnacles and remote reef systems, while Elba reaches rarely visited far-southern sites and requires particularly careful logistical confirmation.

An advertised route is a framework, not a sequence purchased reef by reef. Marine-park restrictions can prevent night dives, wind can make an exposed wall unsafe, and port control can change departure or return. Wildlife chooses its own distance. Sea Treasure’s space, cabin variety and dual-Zodiac operation can make a demanding week more comfortable, but the success of the safari still rests on realistic expectations, honest qualification matching and the captain’s authority to choose the safest available programme.

Life between the route’s dives

With as many as 36 guests, Sea Treasure’s deck space is most effective when teams follow a predictable sequence. Each diver uses the assigned station and crate, analyses the allocated Nitrox cylinder when applicable and keeps masks, computers and cameras out of passageways. Zodiac teams are called separately; entering early because another team is moving creates confusion rather than extra water time. A DSMB and reel, whistle, computer and suitable exposure protection belong to the individual diver even when the crew handles heavy cylinders.

The large interior changes how an intensive week feels. A guest can review images in the air-conditioned salon, eat in the separate restaurant, or choose a shaded outdoor area without occupying the dive deck. The jacuzzi is best used only after confirming the next briefing and hydration needs; alcohol and diving never share a safe timetable. On offshore crossings, doors, chargers and loose equipment must be secured even when the sea appeared calm at the previous mooring.

Every briefing establishes the real itinerary for that dive: entry point, current direction, depth and time limits, wreck openings, marine-park rules, ascent method and Zodiac pickup. Divers repeat the gas and lost-buddy plan with their own partner. North & Brothers brings very different environments within one week, so comfort on a sheltered Safaga reef does not automatically demonstrate readiness for an exposed Brothers entry or overhead wreck route. The guide can offer an exterior circuit, shallower profile or skipped dive without diminishing the wider journey.

The last return to Hurghada is still an operational passage. The crew decides when equipment can be rinsed and where it may dry without blocking exits. Guests check their onboard account against the dated inclusion and compulsory-fee statement, then confirm the transfer destination and pickup time. A well-finished safari leaves breathing room between the last dive and the flight, keeps wet equipment away from cabin furnishings and treats a changed reef order as evidence of active seamanship rather than a failed itinerary.
