Private Boat Charter — Diving or Snorkeling

Ever sat on a shared boat wishing you could decide where it goes next? A private charter fixes that permanently. For one flat price the entire boat — captain, crew, galley and sun deck — belongs to your group for the day, and the itinerary is genuinely yours: which reefs to visit, how long to stay at each, when lunch is served, whether the day is about serious diving, lazy snorkelling with the kids, or simply finding a turquoise lagoon and staying there.

Planning starts before you sail. Tell the captain what your group wants — calm shallow water for small children, a wall dive for the certified divers, a lagoon the little ones can paddle in, dolphins if the sea cooperates — and a route is drawn up around the day's wind and your wishes. Underway, everything stays flexible: extend a stop that everyone loves, skip one that does not fit the mood, ask the crew where the fish are thick that week.

The crew handles all the work while a fresh lunch is prepared on board, with coffee, tea, water and soft drinks available throughout the day. Divers can add a professional dive guide or instructor on request, and full equipment sets are available at €15 per person; snorkelling gear, likewise, is easily arranged. The boat comfortably accommodates families and groups of up to about twelve guests. Marine park fees of €5 per person per day apply at protected sites, and hotel transfers within Hurghada are included for the whole group — Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh and El Gouna pickups carry the usual €20 per car surcharge. Birthdays, proposals and family reunions have all happened on these decks; the day is yours to design.
