Private Speedboat Trip in Hurghada

A private speedboat trip in Hurghada brings together the open Red Sea, guided snorkelling and time to relax on an island. Spend approximately four hours on the water with a captain and a boat reserved for your party. It is a good option when you want to share the day with your own travel companions and enjoy a shorter sea outing during your holiday.

Your private speedboat trip in Hurghada

The programme combines a cruise, reef stops and an island visit. Enjoy the sea breeze between stops, then take a closer look beneath the surface with the snorkelling guide. Snorkelling equipment and life jackets are provided, with drinking water, soft drinks and seasonal fruit available on board.

A private outing also gives you a chance to discuss your priorities before departure. Tell us whether you are most interested in swimming, marine life or time ashore. The captain will work with the agreed route and conditions on the day; it is best to confirm any specific island request before booking.

How the boat day unfolds

1. Collection and boarding: transfer from your Hurghada hotel to the departure point and meet the captain.
2. Red Sea cruise: head towards the reef area, with the possibility of looking for wild dolphins.
3. Guided snorkelling: explore the reef stops with the provided equipment.
4. Island time: enjoy the planned island stop before the return cruise and hotel transfer.

The order of stops and time at each location can change with weather, sea conditions and operating requirements. Wild dolphins may not appear, and swimming with them is not guaranteed. Enjoy an encounter respectfully if it happens and follow the crew’s instructions.

What to bring for the Red Sea

Pack swimwear, a towel, sunglasses and sun protection. A secure bag helps keep your phone and essentials together while moving between the boat and shore. Bring only what you need for the outing and keep important belongings protected from spray.

Tell us the ages of children in your group and whether anyone has difficulty swimming or boarding a boat. Discuss any assistance needed before confirming. Let the guide know your confidence level before entering the water, stay within the instructed area and avoid touching coral or marine animals.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the private speedboat trip in Hurghada?

Allow approximately four hours for the boat programme. Hotel transfer time is additional and depends on your accommodation and pickup arrangements.

Which island will we visit?

The island stop is confirmed when you book. Tell us if you have a particular destination in mind so we can check the route and any island-specific entry charge before you agree.

Are there extra fees?

A nature reserve fee of €5 per guest is separate from the displayed trip price. Transfers outside Hurghada and optional activities must be arranged separately. Request a complete total for your party, including children, before confirming.

Can non-swimmers join the boat trip?

Please discuss this with us before booking. Snorkelling involves entering open water, and the crew must assess which parts of the programme are appropriate for each guest. Having a life jacket does not replace following the guide’s advice.
