blue horizon boat

 

Blue Horizon was completed in July 2006 and is one of the biggest Red Sea live-aboards, at a length of 41 metres, and also one of the best!

All guest cabins are air-conditioned with bathroom/shower en-suite as well as having a TV with DVD/CD player and mini-bar in each cabin.

 

Enabling Disabled Divers...
A superior element of the liveaboard is its access for disabled divers. Blue Horizon has been built with disabled divers in mind, with wider gangways, 4 designated larger cabins, generously proportioned bathrooms and a spacious dive deck, allowing for easier access to the water.

To the rear of the upper deck, a further sundeck creates a sunbathing area.

The front of the upper deck is the location of the bridge and the outdoor freshwater Jacuzzi.

 

The middle deck on M/Y Blue Horizon forms the main saloon and dining area, as well as being the location of 4 of the master king-size suites. A large dining table and a 34" Plasma Screen TV provide a luxurious dining and entertainment area.
