About All Star Ghani

The All Star Ghani navigates Egypt's Red Sea, providing access to its diverse marine ecosystems and accommodating 24 guests.

Egypt's terrestrial environment is defined by vast desert landscapes and ancient history. Beneath the waterline, the Red Sea presents a world of intense life and color. This long, narrow sea, a geological rift between continents, possesses unique characteristics that have fostered a rich and often endemic marine ecosystem. Steep walls drop into the abyss, vibrant coral gardens cover shallow plateaus, and strong currents attract large pelagic species. The region is also a submerged museum, its floor holding historical shipwrecks that now serve as artificial reefs. The All Star Ghani is a purpose-built vessel designed to navigate these waters, offering extended access to this full spectrum of underwater sites. Diving activities are managed for efficiency. Two motorized tenders transport groups directly to the action, ensuring precise entry points on reefs and wrecks while the main vessel stays moored in a sheltered position. The spacious dive deck is organized to accommodate all 24 divers without crowding, providing individual stations for gear setup and storage. For underwater photographers, a dedicated area with rinse tanks and power outlets is provided for camera maintenance. Each dive is preceded by a comprehensive briefing from the experienced local guides, who share their knowledge of the sites, currents, and potential marine life. Comfort is central to the onboard experience between dives. The vessel accommodates 24 guests across 12 well-appointed cabins, with a mix of Twin/King layouts and larger Master Cabins. Every stateroom features individual climate control and a private en-suite bathroom, offering a personal space to recharge. Social life is split between indoor and outdoor areas. An air-conditioned interior salon provides a communal space for lounging, while outside, a shaded deck offers a reprieve from the sun. The upper sundeck is an open-air platform for sunbathing and observing the passing seascapes. The onboard chef prepares a varied menu designed to fuel active divers. Meals are served buffet-style in the main dining area, featuring a combination of international dishes and local Egyptian flavors. The galley team focuses on fresh ingredients to create satisfying breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. Snacks are provided between dives, and a selection of hot and cold beverages is available throughout the day. The crew can cater to specific dietary requirements with advance notice, so guests should provide this information during booking. All Star Ghani is a 42.06-meter motor yacht built for dive expeditions. Constructed in 2003, the vessel underwent a full refurbishment in 2025 to maintain modern standards of comfort and safety. Its substantial 7.62-meter beam, combined with its hull design, affords considerable stability during open-water crossings. Powered by twin Man 1300 HP engines, the ship maintains a cruising speed of 10 knots, efficiently covering the distances required for Egypt’s more remote itineraries. The vessel's engineering is focused on providing a reliable platform for week-long voyages. All Star Ghani operates year-round, offering a range of itineraries that showcase the Red Sea’s famous attractions. Trips often depart from Hurghada or Port Ghalib to explore either the wreck graveyard of the northern Red Sea or the offshore marine parks of the south, known for deep walls and encounters with pelagic sharks and rays. These routes are best suited for certified divers with some experience, particularly those comfortable with drift diving and deeper profiles common at sites like the Brothers Islands, Daedalus, and Elphinstone. This liveaboard is an excellent choice for the dedicated diver seeking a functional, well-run platform to access Egypt’s most rewarding dive sites.
