Alexandria Divers Uncover 2,000-Year-Old Royal Pleasure Boat

A 35-meter ancient Egyptian pleasure boat used by the elite for lavish river parties and religious processions has been discovered in the sunken royal quarter of Alexandria’s Eastern Harbor. The vessel, dating to the early first century AD, is the first of its kind ever found in Egypt and closely matches a description written by the Greek geographer Strabo more than 2,000 years ago. Announced on 8 December 2025 by the European Institute for Underwater Archaeology (IEASM), the wreck was located just 50 meters from the submerged ruins of the Temple of Isis on the former island of Antirhodos.

Wreck Matches Ancient Eyewitness Account
Franck Goddio, founder of IEASM and leader of the expedition, said the boat’s design exactly mirrors Strabo’s account of luxurious cabin vessels used for royal excursions and public festivals. Writing around 25 BC, Strabo described “vessels luxuriously fitted out” on which “every day and night is crowded with people on the boats who play the flute and dance without restraint”.
