Reviews

M/Y Golden Dolphin II is a 36 metre long wooden motor yacht, built in 2006, with a top speed of 12 knots, specifically as an Egypt liveaboard.

The schedule includes northern Red Sea diving trips around the famous wrecks, as well as safaris to the southern areas. Up to 20 guests can be accommodated in 10 double or twin air-conditioned cabins all with en-suite bathrooms. The cabins, as with all of the interiors, feature well-maintained wooden flooring and wall panelling.

Guests can relax in the large air-conditioned saloon, complete with TV, DVD, music system and complimentary Wi-Fi internet, or in the open air on the top sun deck, or on the 2nd sun deck where there are many cooler, shaded areas. The spacious theme on board the Golden Dolphin II is continued on the dive deck which is a well-organised space, including individual gearing up areas as well as a charging station for your electronics.

Other points of interest include a well stocked marine library in a range of languages, piped music, and a mini bar in the cabins. So whether relaxing on board on this spacious and comfortable Egyptian liveaboard, or maximising your bottom time in some of the Red Sea's finest dive sites, the MY Golden Dolphin II can deliver it all.
