About Freedom VIII

Freedom VIII is the most intimate vessel in the Sharks Bay fleet — a 22-meter motor yacht with just 5 cabins for a maximum of 11 guests. Powered by twin 750 HP engines delivering 12 knots, she is the fastest of the three boats. Two Bauer Mariner compressors, an air-conditioned salon with TV, twin sundecks and a Zodiac tender round out the facilities. Her small size means quieter dive sites, more personal attention from guides and a boutique safari experience across the Red Sea.
