M/Y Jasmine is a 56-metre steel superyacht built in 2024 by MSY Shipyard, and she sits at the very top end of Red Sea liveaboards. Five decks are linked by a guest lift, and just 26 guests share 12 air-conditioned staterooms with balconies, minibars and en-suite bathrooms. The amenities read more like a resort than a dive boat. There are four salons, a full spa with sauna, steam room, Turkish hammam, Jacuzzi and massage room, an open-air gym, and a heart-shaped pool with a beach club. Satellite Wi-Fi is free. On the water toys side you'll find jet skis, kayaks, paddleboards, inflatables and fishing gear. The diving is properly supported, with three to four dive guides, tenders, nitrox for certified divers and sidemount support. In Egypt, the Red Sea offers northern routes for wrecks like the Thistlegorm and the reefs of Ras Mohammed and Tiran, and southern routes for sharks at the Brothers and Daedalus. The offshore parks usually need Advanced Open Water and around 50 logged dives. Jasmine also works as a private charter yacht, in the Red Sea and in Greece. She suits groups and families who want a private superyacht experience with serious diving included, couples where one partner doesn't dive, and incentive or corporate groups.
