Spend a private day aboard a Hurghada charter: three hours on an island, lunch cooked on deck, and two snorkeling stops on Red Sea reefs. Flexible itinerary options let you choose islands and timing while enjoying onboard comforts and expert guidance.

The morning opens on the Hurghada marina as the boat slides away from the quay and the Red Sea stretches, glassy and blue, to the horizon. By mid-morning you’ll be slowing toward Orange (or Giftun) Island; gulls wheel and dolphins often arc alongside, daring you to drop a line into their playground. The boat anchors close enough to step onto sun-warmed sand for a three-hour island stop, then returns to sea for two coral-fringed snorkeling halts before an afternoon sail back to port.

History
The Red Sea’s reefs formed along the Red Sea rift; Giftun and nearby islands are part of local conservation efforts that also support Hurghada’s tourism shift from fishing to recreational diving.
Conservation
Stick to no-touch snorkeling, avoid anchoring on reefs, and use reef-safe sunscreen—local guides support reef protection and marine park regulations.

If prone to seasickness, take medication the night before and again before boarding; the Red Sea can be choppy in afternoons.
