How to choose

A private charter is worth the price from 4 people: the cost is shared and you decide the route and the time. For two, compare it with the adults-only sunset cruise, far cheaper. For fishing, see fishing in Hurghada.

To check before paying

  • What is included: meals, drinks, snorkelling gear, marine park fee and hotel transfer.
  • Time and departure port: Hurghada marina or a hotel jetty.
  • Cancellation: bad weather (strong wind) means postponement or refund? Ask in writing.
  • Alcohol: available only on some boats, ask. See also luxury and private tours and scams and safety.

FAQ

Can you hire without a platform? Yes at the marina, but with no reviews and no refund guarantee.

Seasickness? Choose a calm morning and a bigger boat.
