The short answer

You get a speedboat or yacht for your own group for a day of about eight hours, with a skipper and crew, lunch on board, snorkelling gear and hotel transfers, and you choose the snorkel sites. The final price depends on your date, group and plans, so we confirm it in a written quote before you pay.

Book the private boat trip in Sharm, or compare it with the shared Sharm snorkelling trip.

What the published price includes

Included: hotel pick-up and drop-off; the boat with its safety equipment; a skipper and crew; snorkelling gear; an open buffet lunch and soft drinks on board; and marine-park or activity fees. Not included: alcoholic drinks, underwater camera rental, tips for the crew, personal expenses and travel insurance. If something matters to you that is not on this list, ask before you book rather than assume it is included.

Private boat or shared snorkelling trip?

Private boat trip — from €249 · about 8 hours · the boat is only for your group · you choose the route and snorkel sites · crew and skipper · lunch on board · hotel transfers. Shared snorkelling trip — from €29 · about 7 hours · group departure · two reef stops at Tiran Island or Ras Mohammed · equipment and buffet lunch included · hotel transfers. The shared trip is the economical choice for one or two people who are happy with a set programme. The private boat makes more sense for families, friends travelling together and special occasions, when you want your own timing and space on board.

What to confirm before you book

Tell us your date, the number of people and the ages of any children, and the reefs or bays you would like to visit. Ask us to confirm in writing which boat is offered for your group, the route that is possible on your date, the pick-up time and what is included in your price. Sea conditions and marine-park rules can affect which sites are possible on a given day; the crew decides on safety grounds.

Staying in Hurghada instead?

There is a separate private boat trip from Hurghada, starting from €199, with the same idea: a boat for your group, a flexible route and your choice of snorkel sites.
