The day begins at Hurghada’s marina, salt air on your face and a low-minded skyline of hotels shrinking astern as the yacht cuts into the Red Sea. Minutes become wide-open water — the sea dares you to look for color as reefs rise like underwater gardens and the boat slows at the first snorkeling stop.
