Accommodation
Onboard of the M/V Legends, you live in a floating hotel and anchor outside on the best spots the Red Sea has to offer. You’ll spend the all week in the middle of the ocean - only 2 nights onshore (at the marina - first day / last day). The rooms are simple and comfortable. Each of the 6 twin bed and 4 double bed cabins is set functional and has its own shower and toilet. Air conditioning and storage space are standard.
All cabins are private and all rates are for 1 person. If you would like to share your cabin with a second person, please let Tornado Surf Center know. A reduced rate is available for two people sharing the same cabin.
The cabins
Private cabin: Single beds "Lower Deck"
The classic double rooms on the lower deck are equipped with two single beds. This room has its own bathroom with shower (hot / cold) and WC. Air conditioning.
The rooms are not luxurious, but comfortable enough to have a good sleep and to refresh yourself.
Private cabin: Double bed "Upper Deck" - Sea View
The four double cabins on the upper deck are a real treat on the Legends, with breathtaking views through the large windows paired with a double bed for cozy hours for two. Of course with an en-suite bathroom with shower (hot / cold) and toilet, air conditioning, and storage for your personal belongings. A few steps down the stairs and you can grab your kite or wing and jump over the platform into the water.

Location
The spot
Soma Bay:
Soma Bay not only offers plenty of wind and warm temperatures all year round, but it's also one of the most beautiful spots on the Red Sea. The M/V LEGENDS moors at a large, mostly knee- to hip-deep lagoon. Next to it, the freerider area offers endless space in the deep, turquoise-blue water. The surface is mostly flat to choppy.
Food
Breakfast, lunch and dinner on the boat
As soon as the chef's magic words "Food is ready!" ring out, the salon becomes the meeting place for hungry water sports enthusiasts. Guests will find a range of different dishes at the buffet. Tornado Surf Center is happy to cater to vegetarian, vegan, lactose, or gluten-free diets or other allergies.
The bar offer
At the bar counter, guests will find the right drink at any time of the day: In the morning, there is an energy kick with Nespresso coffee or tea. Then soft drinks to cool down, for example, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, or Schweppes. Snacks are available for in-between enjoyment; be it sweet with Twix, KitKat, Bounty, Snickers, and Mars or salty in the form of crisps. And if it's time for an aperitif afterward, Tornado Surf Center offers cold beer, wine, and cocktails.
