The sun cuts a hard line across the Red Sea as the boat backs away from shore and the beach noise thins. Salt air pushes at your face and the motor’s rhythm counts out the minutes to the first splash; soon you’ll be airborne, towed up and over the glittering blue. This is Sharm El Sheikh in motion — speed, surf, and a window into reefs that seem to hover just beneath the surface.

Know the weight limits
Parasailing has minimum and maximum weight rules (55 kg min for solo, double up to 155 kg); banana and sofa boats also have per-person limits—check before boarding.
Time your trip for calmer seas
Book morning or late-afternoon slots for lighter winds, cooler temperatures, and better underwater visibility for the glass-bottom boat.
Protect skin and reefs
Use reef-safe sunscreen and a UV top; the Red Sea’s coral is fragile and direct contact damages colonies.
Prepare for motion
If you get seasick, take preventive meds before boarding; rides involve sudden accelerations and boat wake.
Swimsuit and quick-dry top
Comfortable swimwear and a sun/top protect you during rides and while waiting on deck.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and the sensitive coral ecosystems visible on the glass-bottom segments.
summer
Water shoes
Grip for slippery boat decks and shore entry, and protection if you step on rocks.
