Egyptboats — Private Boat Tours

A boat to yourselves, a route that adapts, and dolphins when the sea agrees.

€€€ High end

The alternative to fifty-seat excursion boats: you leave when you choose, stop where you want, and the crew builds the day around snorkelling spots rather than a fixed programme. Trips usually include looking for dolphins offshore, with the usual caveat — they are wild animals, not an attraction.

The extra bit

Book the day before and put in writing what is included — fuel, lunch, gear, reserve fees. An "all-in" price agreed out loud rarely ends up the same at payment time.

Know before you go

Booking is done by messaging, WhatsApp included. Never chase dolphins or swim into a resting pod: good crews cut the engine and wait, and that is how you recognise them.

    Our favourite

    The harbour promenade: yachts on one side, terraces on the other, and the whole town out after dark.
