M/Y Tillis is a large 35m long wooden hull motor yacht that operates liveaboard diving safaris to the best sites in the Red Sea. Tillis is well maintained and staff by a professional and friendly crew.

The boat can accommodate 24 guests in a choice of cabins across 3 decks, including upper deck seaview double bed suites. Each cabin has a private bathroom fitted with a shower cubicle.

3 delicious buffet spreads are served each day in the dining area of the air-conditioned saloon, together with fresh fruit, pastries and juice. There are 4 dining tables, a service and drinks counter. Also in the saloon is the lounge area with entertainment system - TV/DVD/music and wifi network.

The upper deck is open-air but covered and is the main social area with comfy sofa-style seating and a bar area where you can chat with fellow guests about the day's dive highlights. There is a small area in front of the captain's cabin where you can take the sun, but the main sundeck is on the flybridge where you can find sun loungers.

The dive deck has plenty of space for everyone to kit up.There are 2 x 5m long 40 speedboats with 40 HP outboard motors for transporting divers to the sites. The guides will accompany each dive to ensure you get to see and enjoy as much as possible of the Red Sea. Nitrox is provided by the membrane system and the dive platform has 2 ladders for comfortable egress.
