The trip was simply fantastic! Everything was very well organised and right on time. The guides are true professionals: cheerful, friendly and absolutely brilliant at what they do. The encounter with the dolphins was a real highlight — a special thank you for that!

Daniel P.

Thank you. We've only just got back to the hotel! Everything was superb! We loved our instructor Halid Mahmud and Abdula, and Fares on the yacht. They're absolutely great! My friends and I will be coming back again in November.

On behalf of the whole family, thank you Sharm Tours for organising the boat trip. The day was wonderful — everyone was attentive and helpful. Your team member Julia stayed in touch with us the entire time, for which a special thank you goes to her.

Thomas Reed

I want to say thank you for all the tours. My favourite was the full-day cruise, the yacht boat trip. The crew was professional, fun and upbeat. A special thank you to the diving instructor. Both my teenage daughter and I went diving. Absolutely loved it!

Charlotte Hayes

We did this trip as a girls' day out. We loved our day at sea. We swam, sunbathed and had loads of fun. We were on the Queen yacht. A great time was had by all — highly recommend!

What you get

Tour programme

Hotel pick-up
We collect you from your hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. The main port, where our yachts depart from, is in the Old Town area. The drive to the port takes around 30 minutes on average, depending on your hotel's location.
Time at the port
Final preparations before departure: arranging insurance, police permits and a last check of the yachts. In the meantime, you can rent any gear you need for swimming and snorkelling.
Comfortable yachts
We have some of the most comfortable yachts in Sharm El Sheikh. The boats are spacious and roomy, carrying around 35 people each. There are open sun decks and shaded areas, plus two toilets.
The cruise begins
The yacht sets off from the port into the open waters of the Red Sea, with a relaxing hour-and-a-half cruise to the first stop.
Stop — White Island
White Island, or the Egyptian Maldives, is a slice of paradise lost in the vast expanse of the Red Sea. It is part of the world-famous Ras Mohamed National Park. This little patch of land is covered with fine, white, Maldives-like sand. White Island only appears at low tide. You reach it by swimming (about 50 metres). For those who can't swim, the instructor helps you get across with a life ring.
Snorkelling and swimming
The next two stops at Ras Mohamed are stunning spots, rich in corals and all kinds of marine life, perfect for snorkelling, diving and swimming. Each stop lasts roughly 1 hour 30 minutes. A snorkelling and diving instructor stays with you in the water the whole time.
Diving
Diving is optional and available for an extra fee (+£10 when you book on the website). Each dive lasts 10–15 minutes, down to a depth of 7 metres. All dives are led by certified diving instructors. You can do up to 3 dives during the day. Minimum age is 10. You don't need to know how to swim.
Lunch and drinks
During the trip you'll be treated to a delicious, hearty lunch: chicken, meatballs, potatoes, pasta, rice, salads and bread. Soft drinks are served throughout the day.
5:30 PM — Return to port
At the end of the boat trip, the yacht heads back to port at around 5:30 PM.
6:00–6:30 PM — Transfer to your hotel
A comfortable air-conditioned vehicle takes you back to your hotel. Arrival is between 6:00 and 6:30 PM, depending on your hotel's location.
