Yachtiano Liveaboard, Egypt

Yachtiano is designed as a private luxury resort at sea, combining Egypt diving, watersports, spa facilities, and high-comfort accommodation in one vessel. With 13 cabins for up to 26 guests, the yacht is arranged to provide both generous shared areas and clearly defined private zones. The concept centres on leisure at sea, with diving and kiting programs, wellness services, and a layout that places equal emphasis on comfort, privacy, and social space.

Boat Interior

The interior is arranged around a bright, classic atmosphere with comfort-oriented details throughout the vessel. On the main deck, the “Seaside Dream Restaurant” serves as the central dining area, paired with reception and nearby relaxation spaces. A dedicated kitchen and service team support the onboard dining program, while room service is available around the clock. The boat also includes a bar area, and the evening atmosphere extends into entertainment-focused spaces where darts, airfield hockey, karaoke, dancing, and other activities form part of the onboard social programme.

Dive Deck

From the platform, guests access a specially designed diving room in the basement. The vessel can accommodate 26 divers on board. This dedicated dive area supports the yacht’s Red Sea diving itineraries and works alongside the wider watersports concept that also includes kiting, snorkelling, wakeboard-style fun activities, and other ocean-based sessions built into selected routes.

Safety

Yachtiano places strong emphasis on safety, with technical systems and structural planning integrated throughout the vessel. Emergency exits are arranged from each deck with both entry and exit doors and stair access. Large windows throughout the yacht are designed to function as emergency exits, including removable panoramic windows and deck-specific escape dimensions. The vessel is equipped with ENOS rescue systems, camera systems, sound systems, satellite internet systems, and fire alarm systems, with six foam fire extinguishers installed in the machine room and additional systems in the kitchen. Two freshwater desalination machines produce 16 tons per 24 hours. Power is supplied by two MAN 12-cylinder engines of 1250 hp each, two Daewoo generators of 280 kW, and one John Deere generator of 60 kW. Air conditioning is supported by a Schiller system with three separate 45 hp motors.

Non-diving Activities

Non-diving time is a core part of the Yachtiano concept. Morning yoga and Pilates sessions are offered with views over the Red Sea, while massages and spa treatments can be booked either in the cabin or on the highest deck, where privacy is maintained during treatments. The main deck’s large Jacuzzi and the private whirlpools in selected suites extend the wellness element further. The broader leisure programme also includes a bar setup, evening entertainment, and watersports-based activities during selected itineraries.

Itineraries

Yachtiano operates a collection of Red Sea itineraries for divers, cruise guests, and watersports travellers. The “Yachtiano Delux” programme combines diving, snorkelling, kiting, island stops, and beach or island BBQ events. The route includes Sha’ab el Erg and Dolphin Reef, Gubal Island, Geisum, Um Gammar, Carless Reef, Abu Monqar, the underwater military museum, Aquarium Reef, Salem Express, Panorama Reef, Utopia Island, and Tobia Arbaa. The schedule mixes check dives, early-morning dives, snorkelling sessions, water-based activities, BBQ evenings, and overnight stops with a strong leisure component.

The North itinerary is more diving-focused and follows a classic northern Red Sea route. It includes Sha’ab el Erg and Dolphin Reef, Abu Nuhas, Ras Mohamed, Shark Reef, Yolanda Reef, Thistlegorm, Shag Rock, Goubal Islands, Rosalie Moller on request, Ulysses, Siyoul, and Hurghada-area sites such as Um Gammar and Carless Reef. Several night dives are included, depending on the day and location. Both itineraries begin with embarkation, safety briefings, and the first night on board in the New Marina, and conclude with breakfast, checkout, and transfers to the airport or hotel in Hurghada.

Cabin Types

From category A+ upward, all bathrooms are fitted with separate shower cubicles. All cabins are equipped with a safe and a hairdryer as standard. From category A+ upward, rooms also include a hot water station and a Coffee “B” machine.

Lower Deck Cabins

On the lower deck there are four standard twin A cabins of 14 square metres and four A+ cabins of 21 square metres. The A+ category is designed with added space comfort in mind and can be prepared in twin or double-bed form, with family room or king-size bed available on request.

B Suites

Located on the main deck behind the Seaside Dream Restaurant, the four B category suites measure 22.5 square metres and are arranged with double beds. These suites are described as Panorama-view main-deck cabins.

Suite C

The first upper deck contains four C category cabins of 25 square metres. These XL whirlpool suites feature double beds, private balconies, and a high level of privacy.

Penthouse Suite D

On the sun deck, the D category Penthouse Suite measures 50 square metres and includes a private outdoor balcony with its own Jacuzzi. This suite is described as offering a captain’s view over the Red Sea and the largest private zone on board.

Food & Drinks

Dining is built around three main meals served in the Seaside Dream Restaurant, supported by outdoor seating that extends the same atmosphere into the open air. The kitchen and service team prepare a combination of local products, regional dishes, and selected international specialities. The menu also covers smaller in-between options through 24-hour room service. Dietary requirements can be accommodated in advance, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergy-related, and other special requests. Drinks and snacks are integrated into the onboard service concept, including service around the Jacuzzi, spa, and evening bar programme
