Excellent service from pick up at the hotel all the way till drop off. Abdul, Akhmed and Mina were all very friendly and attentive to our needs. The sense of humor was a big bonus. I recommend private bookings tor families who loves to snorkel. Orange island is very nice with the best turquoise waters.

Loved my experience, we picked the 8 Pax 11 meters and it was perfect for 2 people. The host were so helpful and communicated with us the whole time. Would definitely do again and recommend. The water was so beautiful and we also got to see dolphins, they also prepared food for us.

This trip was perfect for a group experience there was 13 of us in the group . We had the boat to ourselves and we were able to connect our music to the boats speakers . The host made us feel very comfortable and they really looked after us. To top it off they cooked us a very nice lunch. We visited a lovely island as well.

I did this trip with my husband as an anniversary treat and it didn’t disappoint from start to finish. I began the booking by using live chat. The people I communicated with were very helpful when it came to personalising the trip. We wanted a gentle relaxing experience to include snorkelling. I was able to arrange for a taxi to collect us from the hotel to the marina to meet the boat at a reasonable price and a friendly driver. The boat didn’t disappoint being a good size and very comfortable. All the crew were friendly and really went above and beyond to make the trip special for us including coming in the water with us and helping us snorkel over the reef as I was nervous having had a bad experience in Maldives with the strong currents. The food we had for lunch was delicious. Full of flavour and beautifully presented. The day was a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The whole trip was exceptional . Great value lovely people to deal with and a fun knowledgeable crew .I highly recommend including this trip in your holiday itinerary we made great memories and will never forget our perfect day with you thank you

Amazing trip from start to finish! We opted for the pick up from hotel and the driver was excellent and very helpful. We then met Mahmoud, our guide for the day and the captain of the Yasser, Mohamed. We were a group of 4 and had the boat to ourselves to go wherever we wanted for the day. There’s a Bluetooth speaker for you to play you own music, plenty of water and soft drinks. Mahmoud gave us plenty of options for our day. We spent a bit of time on the sandbanks which he called the Egyptian Maldives. We then headed off to Magawish island which was a beautiful island that’s not overcrowded with plenty of photo opportunities and a fantastic area for snorkelling. We when had lunch back on the boat which looked and tasted amazing, all cooked and prepared fresh by Mahmoud on the boat while we were out on the island. We then opted to go out to the deep water snorkel area, which was such an experience Mahmoud was excellent once again and guided us around the reefs and showed us some amazing sights and so many beautiful fish, the water is so clear you can see so many levels! Thanks to all at Egyptboats for such an incredible day, would definitely recommend, if you’re looking for a private boat trip in Hurghada these are the people to call, worth every penny!

There are not enough words to describe what a wonderful time we had on this boat with Abdul and his crew!!
He asked us what we wanted and he facilitated everything and more !!
The food was delicious , drinks were cold and tasty and the boat was clean and beautifully kept!!
We swam in some beautiful places and Abdul even got in to help my granddaughter to find fish ….
The entire day was tremendous and we have made some memories we will treasure forever
Thank you

This was a brillaint day trip whilst in Hurgada , we decided to cancell the group trip and book this instead, and we were not disappointed !
The whole trip was brillaint , the day was planned around what we wanted to do and could take what ever time we wanted at each site !
We went snorkeling at make a whish island .
Visited the sand bank which was amazing and to make it better there was only us two there ! There is a reason they call it the Maldives of Egypt ! Stunning .
We then boarded to a home made banquet, the food was made on the boat and was extremely tasty ! The tuna dish was honestly the best dish I ate on egypt all holiday .
We then went to see the dolphins and finally another snorkeling site !
We were well taken care of with water, soda, coffee , fresh fruit platter and the service was 5*.
We opted for the transfer which for €15 wasn't bad value.
The entire day was brillaint and definitely a hilight of out trip around Egypt .
There was a slight language barrier , which did not impact the day ! As the lads just gave a quick call to a colleague who checked translation .
If your thinking of booking - do it !
Or if you have a group trip booked , consider having this private tour instead !
Thank you
Danny and Amy !

The best day of our trip by far. It was made so much more memorable by the captain, chef and our guide who took care of us throughout the day.
We went to the most amazing snorkelling spots, secluded islands.
Our guide helped all of us and was so attentive and funny and helpful throughout the day.
The food was so fresh and hats off to the chef who put on a great feast for us.
This is the second time I have used this company and I cannot fault them at all!

We chartered the boat for a bachelorette day with 9 girlies and were super happy with the experience. The boat is very big, so we were able to keep moving around from spot to spot, depending on the vibe and whether we needed sun or shade. There was a captain, a cook, a guy who helped to bring drinks and the owner Mark. The lunch was superb, so delicious and fresh we had to bring up the cook to express our appreciation. The fridge for drinks is huge and there are speakers on board to drown out any other boats. Only thing I would critique a bit is that we stayed quite a while in one destination; a tiny island where many other boats stopped for snorkeling. We would have liked to see some of the other beautiful islands but I'm not deducting any points for that, since we asked Mark short-notice to change the route and take us to other places than originally proposed in the agenda. Overall, an amazing private experience that was everyone's favorite day of the whole weekend. Would definitely recommend for larger groups or families!

Something really special. A wonderful day for 4 of us on the boat. Perfectly looked after and Abdul took us where ever we wanted to go! We started by finding some dolphins and then Eden bay followed by a really yummy lunch freshly prepared on board by Regyep then 2 snorkelling sites on the way back. Transfer from hotel very convient and only €15 return. Highly recommend! So much nicer and more personal than a big trip and never felt rushed!

Was no island tour just snorkeling when we mentioned about island they said we had to pay extra we knew about paying for paradise island but others was ment to be included wouldn't say staff went that extra mile for us plesent but not memorable
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Hello, Im sorry that the trip wasn't as you expected and you felt that the crew didnt do their best that day. We always want to give the best service and to have the best communication with our clients.
Before the trip we always give the itinerary options and we propose the beaches in the Giftun islands: Orange bay, Paradise island and Eden Island that are not included.
Abu Minqar island that is the shallow waters sandbank that is included in the itinerary.
I apologize again if the trip wasnt as you expected and I wish we can do a trip together in the future and do it better.

We visited orange beach and spent time there with a crew member who came along with us to assist us.

This hole day was amazing!!! It was truly the best day of my life! The captain was amazing, Samir that handled the snorkelling was awesome even with the anxiety attacks of one of my companions and the food was incredibly fresh and amazing. They treated us with fruit platters full of mango and sweetie and took us the great coral reef spots. It was my dream come true and I am so happy that they made it a reality. I couldn’t have picked better!

We had an amazing time with the crew of the Mermaid 🧜♀️. We started off with a trip to Eden Island with milkshakes and some sun. After this we went to a snorkeling hotspot and got to see so many types of fish with many colours. The food served was awesome best we had on our holiday. Easily this was the highlight of our vacation!!
Best recommendation is that if you have small kids take the time to teach them snorkeling in the pool so that they are confident when you get to the ocean. The full snorkle face masks you can get in the shops at neverland are very good.
Finally big thank you to the crew and can't wait to comeback next year for a repeat visit.

We had an amazing day. Capt Mohammed and his 2 crew Yousuf and Ayad were brilliant. We spent whole day out at sea. We saw dolphins and went snorkeling. The captain helped us in the sea as I was nervous and never done before. They prepared a very nice lunch for us also. All in all an amazing day. Highly recommend it.

During our holiday in Hurghada, after listening to the offers of the agencies offering cruises in our hotel, I decided to check the possibilities online.
That's how I found the Egyptboats custom tour offer on Viator. After reading the reviews, I decided to book a 22-metre boat for the whole day for a family of five, the offer was 399 USD.
It turned out to be the best decision during our holiday!
I arranged the transfer from the hotel and the driver was a bit difficult to find the port. It was only later that I discovered that there is also an UBER in the Hurghada area, which is available at a much cheaper price than the shuttle offered by the hotel.
From the moment we boarded the boat, however, everything went smoothly! The staff were extremely attentive, kind and helpful. They listened to our requests throughout the entire trip! The boat is not a modern one, but it is well maintained and in good condition.
At the beginning of the trip we met a pod of dolphins, the captain knew exactly where to find the dolphins from other boats and as long as we wanted, the captain followed the animals closely. We then docked at Eden Island, with its beautiful coastline, white sand and crystal clear waters. The island has umbrellas and sun loungers available for visitors and there are excellent 'Instafoto' locations on this part of the island.
On returning to the boat, the captain led the boat to a nearby coral reef where we went on a coral tour led by a crew member. The reef was full of beautiful live corals, the water was clear with good visibility. Along with millions of colourful fish we also encountered eagle rays which are a majestic animal.
Meanwhile, lunch was prepared on board, delicious, the most that could be served under the circumstances and satisfying all our needs!
There is plenty of space on board for sunbathing and relaxing. After siesta, we went on another snorkel tour and again admired the beautiful reef.
All in all, we are very grateful to the staff, they made a wonderful day for our family!
