Hurghada is a beautiful destination in Egypt, bordered by the city of Ras Gharib to the north and the city of Safaga to the south. All resorts of Hurghada overlook the Red Sea and exude luxury and beauty.  

The city of Hurghada was once a fishing village referred to as Ghardaka. Oil was discovered under the land in 1913 and tourism started to elevate the position of the city, strengthening its economy and making it the most notable port in Egypt. Today, approaching the shores of Hurghada, you will find dozens of private hotel beaches and dive centers. Lining up on both sides of the Hurghada Marine Boulevard, luxury yachts moor and set off for day trips. Visitors have a whole range of treasures to pick from. Whether it’s the crystal-clear waters that border the thriving city of Hurghada, or the crystal-clear water surrounding Sharm El-Sheikh, or Gouna, a private charter will offer a once-in-a-lifetime vacation.  

With the weather remaining inviting throughout the year, a sailing trip in Hurghada is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the tranquil beaches and iconic dive sites. The Giftun Islands are a fantastic option for a day trip, located off the coast of Hurghada. They are composed of two islands, known as Giftun el Kabeer, the bigger one, and Giftun el Sagheer, the smaller one. The former and larger one is home to Beach Havens, Mayma and Orange Bay. These are perfect destinations to spend a full day diving, snorkeling and enjoying the beach restaurants and bars. Around 22 km north of Hurghada, you will find the tourist resort known as El Gouna. You can tour any of the sandy beaches, such as Mangroovy Beach, Zeytuna, or Moods Beach. 

Renting a sailboat in Hurghada will allow you to explore endless bays that make up Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera. You can spend a multi-day adventure and visit Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi Bay, or Soma Bay. All of these resorts offer excellent diving and snorkeling opportunities and are home to extremely beautiful marine life. Some other idyllic destinations you can consider with a skipper on board are Safaga, El Quseir, and Marsa Alam. All these are wonderful resorts located on the Red Sea coast, but much further from Hurghada. They are secluded spots, ideal for seeking a relaxed holiday, with small harbors where you can dock your boat. Finally, a sailboat charter in Hurghada will allow you to enjoy a safe and comfortable cruise with the company of your loved ones, all at a great price.
