Red Sea Private Yacht Day
A private yacht out of Sharm El Sheikh for the day — Ras Mohammed's reefs, deck lunch at anchor and a route set entirely by your party.
Overview
The difference between a shared boat trip and a private charter on the Red Sea is the difference between a schedule and a day. With the yacht reserved for your party alone, the route follows preference rather than programme: long snorkelling stops over the coral gardens of Ras Mohammed National Park, an anchorage in a turquoise lagoon for lunch off the grill, a detour because the water simply looks right. The crew handle everything — guiding in the water, drinks on deck, the quiet competence that makes a sea day effortless — and the Sinai backdrop does the rest: bare desert mountains dropping into water with twenty-metre visibility as the norm. It is the Red Sea's best day, run at the pace of the people on board rather than the manifest.

Preparation
- High-SPF, reef-safe sunscreen — the deck sun plus water reflection is fierce

Good to know
- Sea days cancel rarely, but winter can bring chop — the crew call it honestly
- Non-swimmers are welcome; life vests and shaded deck space make it a fine day regardless
Frequently asked questions
Can we combine snorkelling and diving on the same charter?
Yes — a licensed dive guide and tanks can join the charter with advance notice, so certified divers descend while the rest of the party snorkels the same reef from above.
Is the day suitable for children?
Very. The lagoon anchorages are calm and shallow, junior-size snorkelling gear is carried, and the crew are practised hands with young swimmers. Tell us ages at booking so the kit is right.
