Boat name heading
Cyclone Red Sea liveaboard boat  

The 'Cyclone' was built in 1998, voted "Liveaboard of the Year" in 2003 by Diver Magazine, and had a complete refit and modernisation in 2007. Whilst she has retained her revolutionary sleek lines and distinctive appearance from the outside, regular guests would be hard pressed to recognise anything once onboard. In line with the latest boats in the fleet she now boasts an upstairs saloon complete with bar and plasma screen TV, a totally refitted restaurant with individual dining chairs, and an extensive sun deck complete with sun beds and Jacuzzi.

The work was not confined just to the interior layout. She has been fitted with new more powerful engines, giving her better cruising speed and comfort, and also new generators. In order to accommodate the changes her hull length has been increased and she now measures an impressive 34 metres overall. A true Red Sea classic liveaboard brought totally up to today’s high standards! She is most commonly used for Northern Red Sea trips from Sharm El Sheikh.

Cyclone takes a maximum of 20 guests and the 10 twin cabins all have en-suite toilet and shower. All cabins are air-conditioned with individual climate controls in each cabin.

     

Cabins:
The deluxe cabins are specially furnished for the utmost comfort of our divers. Our cabins sleep a maximum of 2 people and come with individually controlled air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms with shower.

Saloon & Dining Room:
The spacious saloon and dining areas are well-equipped with a bar, Plasma screen TV/VCR, stereo system and CD player. Dinner is served at two large dining tables. On the sun deck you will find the bar area.

Sun Decks:
The sun deck and fly bridge have plenty of room for 'sun lovers' while also providing shaded areas in the fresh air. Enjoy a sundowner from the sun deck bar whilst watching the spectacular sunsets in the Red Sea.

Dive Decks:
The spacious dive deck features individual dive stations with comfortable seating section and dive kit storage. All tanks are filled in situ so once your equipment is set up all you have to do is dive! Open cupboard spaces are provided allowing you to leave dry towels for when you return from your dive. The dive platform has addition dive stations and has rinse showers. Divers are ferried by two 5.5m RIBs.
