Heaven Saphir is one of the best liveaboards in the Egyptian part of the Red Sea. We have been serving European market for more than 14 years with an exceptional history of success. With competition from over 250 safari boats in the Red Sea, we are proud of our success in creating happy and returning customers. Heaven Saphir is a luxurious liveaboard serving the Egyptian Red Sea. The ship has three decks and carries a maximum of eighteen guests. It is run by a crew of professionals that have been trained to provide guests with a great diving experience.
The ship features six spacious cabins that have air conditioning, an ensuite bathroom, and a mini-fridge. The cabins include two honeymoon suites as well as one executive suite that sleeps three people. Guests have access to sundecks and a salon on board. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks are served on the ship as well.
The ship allows guests to explore the Red Sea, where there are over one thousand invertebrate species and two hundred types of soft and hard coral. Diving in the Red Sea is a unique experience as twenty percent of the marine creatures in the sea are native to that area. This means that there are over two hundred species of fish that are only found in the waters of the Red Sea. There is also a variety in underwater terrain and seabed. Guests can explore dive sites that include shallow patch reefs, drift dives, walls, wrecks, plateaus, lagoons, caves, and coral gardens. Dive trips take place from Dahab in the north to Halaib in the south: which covers the majority of the Egyptian Red Sea. Since the sea is so expansive, there are many itineraries to choose from that explore some of the best sites. Typically, the crew offers up to four daily dives, including night dives. Rental dive gear can be provided to guests if requested. The air temperature is typically around 30° C (90° F) and the water tends to be very warm. The Heaven Saphir offers nitrox to EAN-certified divers and supports tech diving and rebreathers.
Kitesurfing in the Red Sea is also available on the liveaboard. The wind typically ranges from 15-30 knots. Kitesurfing takes place along lagoons and white beach islands that provide beautiful views. For a more relaxing experience, guests can choose to kitesurf north of El Gouna. Guests who choose to take part in the kite safari are also given the opportunity to take ground tours to the Grand Pyramids and Cairo Museum.
