Private Red Sea Fishing and Snorkeling Charter from Hurghada

The Experience
Before You Go
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect coral by using non‑chemical sunscreen and applying it on deck before entering the water.
Bring motion‑sickness remedies
Even on calm days, longer offshore legs can unsettle sensitive stomachs—carry pills or acupressure bands.
Hydrate and layer
Unlimited soft drinks are provided, but bring a reusable bottle and a light coverup for midday sun and wind.
Observe reef etiquette
Look, photograph, and don’t touch or stand on coral—your hands and fins can damage fragile colonies.

Conservation Note
Reefs in the Red Sea are sensitive — follow no‑touch rules, use reef‑safe sunscreen, and support operators who practice responsible anchoring and waste management.
Hurghada transformed from a small fishing community into a major Red Sea resort starting in the 1980s; boats still reflect local seafaring traditions mixed with modern tourism.
