The Experience

The last light slides off the Red Sea and the boat’s solar lights take over—soft halos over stainless decks and the metallic clink of reels ready for the night. Onboard, the crew runs through lines and baits while the city of Hurghada becomes a distant ribbon of lamps. For up to eight anglers, this private overnight charter turns the sea into a shifting theater: moonlit trolling, the sudden flare of a strike, and a small galley serving dinner before everyone collapses in the sleeping cabins for a few hours before dawn.

Before You Go

Bring motion‑sickness meds

The Red Sea can be choppy at night and during early morning; take preventative medication before departure.

Wear non‑slip footwear

Decks get wet during fishing—rubber‑soled shoes reduce slips and improve footing when hauling in a fish.

Hydrate and layer up

Evenings can feel cool offshore; bring a light windbreaker and a reusable water bottle—sodas and bottled water are provided but staying hydrated helps prevent fatigue.

Secure cameras and phones

Use tethers or dry bags—reeling, gaffing and waves create multiple drop hazards during action moments.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

•Night snorkel stops near shallow lagoons around Giftun Islands
•Quiet reef drop‑offs at Abu Ramada for close encounters with reef fish

Wildlife

•Dolphins
•Sea turtles

Conservation Note

The Red Sea’s coral reefs are fragile—operators generally practice selective catch methods and encourage release of protected species; avoid anchoring on live coral.

Hurghada began as a small fishing and trading harbor; its shoreline later opened to tourism while local fishing traditions and knowledge remain central to offshore trips.
