Tour description: Semi-Submarine - Glass-View Underwater Boat

A semi-submarine is the most comfortable way to explore the underwater world of the Red Sea without any equipment or physical effort. The lower section of the vessel sits beneath the surface, and panoramic portholes provide a direct view of the coral reefs and fish swimming just centimetres from the glass. Parrotfish, surgeonfish, clownfish, sea urchins, and occasionally turtles - all visible without a mask or swimwear.

The route passes over the finest reefs in the bay of Sharm El Sheikh. The captain steers the vessel slowly while the guide provides a running commentary on what you can see through the portholes. The trip takes 1-2 hours. Perfect for older travellers, young children, and anyone who wants to experience the underwater world without getting wet.

There is nothing special to bring. This is the most relaxed sea excursion in our catalogue.

Tourist reviews: Semi-Submarine - Glass-View Underwater Boat

A
Anne MorrisonGroup · Semi-Submarine

It was surprisingly engaging. I don't dive and I'm a little nervous around deep water, so this format was ideal. You sit comfortably and watch the corals and fish through the windows. There is so much to see - the children were absolutely thrilled. It did get slightly stuffy inside at one point, but nothing unbearable. All in all a wonderful option for anyone who doesn't want to get in the water.

Stuart KaineGroup · Semi-Submarine

Booked it for the family and have no regrets. Very convenient format, especially with children or if you are not keen on swimming. Visibility was excellent - you could see the reefs beautifully. I wouldn't call it a thrill ride, but that's not the point. It's calm observation. A great option for a change of pace on holiday.

Margaret OwenPremium · anniversary

We took the Premium yacht for an anniversary - it lived up to its name entirely. Spacious, clean, excellent service. The route included several brilliant snorkelling spots. Lunch was tasty and varied. A small group - no crowds whatsoever. The guide was attentive throughout. We came back delighted and refreshed. For special occasions and for those who want a little more comfort, this is unquestionably the right choice.

Fred SayerPremium · comfort

I chose Premium specifically because of the smaller number of guests on board - no regrets. A fine yacht with well-arranged relaxation areas. Snorkelling at two reef spots - both excellent. Lunch included, with very fresh seafood. Drinks available throughout the day. The guide was knowledgeable and explained the reefs and their inhabitants. Slightly higher price than the standard option, but the difference in comfort is very noticeable. Recommended for anyone who wants a calm, quality day on the sea.

More about this tour

A semi-submarine is a unique way to discover the underwater world of the Red Sea without getting wet. This specially equipped vessel has a transparent hull and below-waterline portholes that open onto a living aquarium: corals of every shape and colour, parrotfish, surgeonfish, sea urchins and occasional turtles. It is the ideal option for those who are nervous around water, cannot swim, or simply want to experience the underwater world in complete comfort.

The trip is particularly popular with older visitors, families with young children, and people who want a glimpse of underwater life without diving. The captain steers the boat directly over the reefs while an experienced guide explains what you see through the portholes. No equipment, no physical exertion - just pure enjoyment.

Best time to visit

Year-round, in any weather. The semi-submarine is unaffected by surface conditions, and it is always comfortable inside.

Practical information

There is nothing special to bring - this is the most relaxed excursion on the water. Take a camera or a good smartphone for photos through the portholes.

Frequently asked questions

Is it a real submarine?

Not quite - it is a semi-submersible vessel that does not fully submerge. The lower section sits underwater and is fitted with a glass bottom and portholes.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes - this is one of the best excursions for children of any age. Safe, comfortable and endlessly fascinating.
