Grand Sea Serpent

Grand Sea Serpent as the name suggests Grand Sea Serpent is spectacular in all aspects. Launched in April 2005 she is a culmination of many years of building and operating superb luxury Red Sea Liveaboards.

At 40 metres overall this boat is huge by any standards, and luxurious! The interior decoration is a sumptuous blend of inlaid woods and custom-made fabrics. The elegant saloon and dining area are reminiscent of a 19th century gentleman’s classic yacht, with Victorian style furnishings, cut glass chandeliers and marine paraphernalia. This contrasts with the modern all “mod cons” approach in the cabins. Music, fridge and en suite bathroom are standard in all cabins. The large bathrooms all feature multiple jet showers.

The teak and stainless steel lavished on the extensive deck areas again demonstrate the “no expense spared approach” of the owners. On such a large vessel there is always somewhere sunbathe, read a book in the shade, or take a cool drink at the sun deck bar.

As well as being a magnificent ship Grand Sea Serpent is a very effective dive platform. Her powerful engine room and new hull design enable her to cruise speedily between the Marine Park Islands, usually at night. The dive deck is fully equipped to cater for all diving needs, scuba or technical, open circuit or re-breathers. Features include; tanks filled in situ, nitrox membrane, mixing panel, Haskel booster pump. Nitrox, Oxygen and Helium, Inspiration tanks, pony cylinders, sofno lime and 15 litre tanks are available by request and are subject to additional charge.
