Hurghada All-Day Private Offshore Fishing: Gear, Dinner & Big-Game Chances

The Experience
Before You Go
Start early and rest beforehand
This is a 16-hour day—get a good night’s sleep and arrive ready for an early departure to maximize calm-morning conditions.
Bring motion-sickness prevention
Open ocean conditions can be uneven; take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding if you’re prone to seasickness.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Use high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brim hat—reflected sun off the sea intensifies exposure over long days.
Confirm fish handling and limits
Ask the crew about local size and species regulations and whether they will clean and pack your catch for transport.

Conservation Note
The Red Sea’s coral reefs are sensitive to anchors and overfishing—choose operators who use moorings, respect no-take zones and practice selective catch strategies.
Hurghada evolved from a modest fishing harbor into a major Red Sea resort and dive hub during the late 20th century, bringing commercial charters and sportfishing to the region.
