The Experience
Before You Go
Morning pickup timing
Be ready at the hotel 25–30 minutes before pickup; early boarding maximizes calm water and fish activity.
Sun protection
Use reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and polarized sunglasses—sun reflects off the Red Sea aggressively.
Stable footwear
Wear non-slip deck shoes for wet surfaces and safe movement around the boat.
Motion-sickness prep
If prone to seasickness, take medication the night before or use acupressure bands and sit mid-boat for stability.
