Red Sea Aggressor 4 | Southern Egypt

Boat

Red Sea Aggressor IV is a spacious and stable liveaboard yacht purpose-built for comfort, safety and great diving in the Egyptian Red Sea. At approximately 138 ft (42 m) in length with a 29.5 ft (9 m) beam, she is diesel-powered and cruises comfortably at 10–12 knots, with 220-volt power throughout the vessel.

Red Sea Aggressor IV blends functional space for divers with comfortable social areas. A large salon serves as the central gathering place for relaxation, movies, games and dive briefings. The expansive sun deck features shaded lounging areas, deck chairs, chaise lounges and two hot tubs — perfect places to unwind between dives. A bar area invites guests to enjoy refreshing beverages and socialize.

Red Sea Aggressor IV offer guests delicious meals in various styles, with a variety of Egyptian feasts and local cuisine. If you have any special dietary requirements, please add this to your reservation through the GIS and speak to the yacht chef once onboard so he/she can adequately prepare to meet your needs. You will wake up to fresh fruits, hot entrees, cereals and juices. Lunches are buffet-style, featuring hot soups, homemade breads, salads and sandwiches and/or entrees. Dinners are chef prepared and served each evening and include salads, vegetables, seafood, beef or chicken with a fresh homemade dessert. Certain special dietary and beverage requests may not be available due to the remote nature of this location so we highly recommend you bring these items with you. Pork and turkey are not available.

The onboard beverages selection includes fruit juices, soft drinks, iced water, tea, coffee, and a limited selection of local beer and wine, which are complimentary. Due to the high duty charged on liquor, we suggest you bring your special brand from the U.S. Remember, drinking and diving do not mix. Once you consume alcohol, you become a snorkeler until the next day.

Deck space is ample with dedicated areas for dive gear setup and relaxation. Diving support is provided via 2 dive tenders that shuttle divers to and from prime sites, and onboard compressors including for Nitrox make filling easy.
