Part of the King Snefro Fleet of liveaboards, Snefro Target operates luxury dive cruises to some of the best sites in the Sinai Peninsula, such as Ras Mohamed, the world famous SS Thistlegorm wreck, as well as the Straits of Tiran.

The yacht is 37 metres long and, just like its sistership Snefro Love, was built in Rashid in the Nile Delta. It is Green Fins and ISO-certified and was recognised by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism with an Award of Excellence in recognition for its 'outstanding role in promoting Tourism and Sustainable Development in Egypt'. It can accommodate 20 guests in twin or double bed air-conditioned cabins, each with ensuite private bathrooms. The upper deck double bed cabins have wide windows and they and the Master Suite have minibars.

The air-conditioned saloon on the main deck has entertainment facilities such as TV and music systems. You can relax in the comfy sofas and choose a film from the onboard movie library. The saloon also serves as the dining area where guests are served delicious, mouth-watering Egyptian and Western style buffet-style meals. Vegetarians can be catered for. Snacks, hot and cold drinks are available all the day. Elsewhere on Snefro Target there are 3 partially-shaded areas where guests can soak up some Egyptian sunshine or simply relax in the open air, taking in the Red Sea landscapes.

The dive deck and platform are spacious and equipped with rinse tanks, bathrooms and fresh-water showers for rinsing off after a dive. There are 2 air compressors and the nitrox compressor housed below deck to reduce noise pollution. Nitrox is provided free of charge for EANx certified divers, so that they can linger longer at these incredible Red Sea dive spots. Safety equipment onboard includes life rafts, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, life jackets, a first aid kit, and emergency breathing oxygen. Navigational equipment includes VHF radio, GPS, a chart plotter, echo sounder, radar, and an EPRIB. If you are looking for great value for money and a touch of style on a Sinai liveaboard cruise, you might just hit the bullseye with the Snefro Target.

Core Days
This 'Sinai Classic' route is a popular option for those scuba divers wanting to visit the very best sites of the Sinai Peninsula. The world famous Thistlegorm was a World War II ship, bombed by the Germans while delivering a cargo of ammunition and war materials. With its cargo machinery and equipment all neatly stowed in its open holds, this wreck would be a highlight of a diving tour anywhere in the world. You will also dive the famous reefs of the Strait of Tiran: Woodhouse, Jackson, Thomas and Gordon. These magnificent formations rise up from the depths and are often frequented by large pelagic fish, including hammerhead sharks, due to the abundance of currents. Ras Mohamed National Park is renowned for its breath-taking walls adorned with gorgonians and soft corals that are frequented by large schools of snapper, tuna and trevallies. Turtles, crocodilefish, blue-spotted sting rays, scorpionfish and lionfish are always around in this diving paradise.
You can expect 4 dives per day on full diving days, with 3 dives provided on the penultimate day, before the boat heads back to port.
Delicious meals will appeal to everyone’s appetite and taste, involving Italian and international cuisine, plus incredible Arabic delicacies. Meals are served buffet style in the dedicated dining area in the saloon on the main deck. A pre-breakfast, breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks will each be served and followed by dives. Dinner is served after the night dive. Biscuits, candy bars, toast, cakes and fruit are available throughout the day. Tea, coffee, soft drinks and chilled drinking water will keep divers hydrated.

This safari will take you to some of the most iconic wrecks that the Red Sea has to offer. The most famous wreck in the Red Sea, the SS Thistlegorm, will leave you in awe: it was sunk in 1941 after being bombed by the German Luftwaffe! With its historical cargo of World War II machinery and equipment, all neatly stowed in its open holds, the wreck of the Thistlegorm would be a highlight of diving anywhere in the world. The Rosalie Moeller, carrying a cargo of coal, suffered the same fate just 2 days later. 4 wrecks will be the highlights of diving at Abu Nuhas, all offering spectacular dives with plenty of marine life, making fantastic material for the underwater photographer. Ras Mohamed is renowned for its breath-taking walls rich in gorgonian fans and soft corals that are frequented by large schools of snapper, tuna and trevallies. Turtles, crocodilefish, blue-spotted sting rays, scorpionfish and lionfish are always around in this scuba diving paradise.
You can expect 4 dives per day on each full diving day, with 3 dives provided on the penultimate day, before the boat cruises back to port.
