Rent Crewed Yachts Red Sea

Arrive at your Red Sea charter yacht and be welcomed on board with a refreshing glass of Karkadeh, a traditional Egyptian drink made from an infusion of hibiscus flowers. Familiarise yourselves with your motor or sailing boat before enjoying a delicious lunch. Spend the afternoon exploring the yachting hub of Hurghada or venture into the old town. Take a camel safari into the surrounding desert or try some dune buggying. In the evening, stroll along the seafront before enjoying a welcome cocktail party and a sumptuous dinner on board.

Wake up in Safaga after an overnight cruise. History buffs can make an early start with a private car and guide to head through the desert to Luxor and to the Valley of the Kings. See the tombs of several Ramses kings like Tutankhamun, Seti and Septah. Divers have their own treat in store with their own personal guide to explore the Red Sea's rich underwater world. See the vibrant colours of inquisitive triggerfish, emperor fish, wrasse, parrotfish and clownfish, with reef dives, wall dives, and in stunning coral gardens. If relaxation is more for you, head to the Kempinski hotel in Soma Bay and spend some time in the Cascades Spa. Congregate here for dinner or opt for a quiet evening on board your superyacht.

The motor or sailing boat will cruise back up towards Hurghada as you enjoy breakfast, arriving at the uninhabited island of Giftun El Saghir in good time to explore the coral reef and gardens before lunch. Non-divers can also experience the teeming marine life snorkelling in the shallower waters. Stunning empty beaches call out to set up your beach encampment and stretch out with a good book or indulge in some beachcombing. Around midday, the yacht's crew will come ashore and set up a picnic lunch of your choosing. After a day on Giftun El Saghir, enjoy sundowners on board with your favorite cocktails as you head back to Hurghada for dinner in town.

Next, your motor or sailing boat brings you to the pretty town of El Gouna. Being a modern resort built across islands and lagoons, it offers a myriad of beaches, water sports and land activities. Learn to kitesurf, go horseriding along the beach or indulge your competitive side on the tennis or squash courts. Golfers can get their fix and take on the challenging course at the Steinberger Golf Resort while non Golfers can pamper themselves at one of the many Spas. Take a local guide and head into the desert for some hiking. Have a stroll around Abu Tig Marina and enjoy cocktails at one of the many bars before dinner: try The Smokery El Gouna Yacht Club where the resident DJ will get the party started after your meal.

Practice some early morning yoga as the superyacht cruises across to Tawila Island. Tawila has perfect conditions for kitesurfing as well as beautiful beaches to choose from. Take your cameras for a hike across this small island and spot a variety of different birds. Swim in the protected lagoon or simply doze on the beach. Your yacht crew will set up lunch for you on the beach before the divers amongst you head across to Sha’b Abu Nuhas. Only a short hop away, Sha’b Abu Nuhas has no less than four wrecks to explore, including SS Carnatic, a British steam ship which sunk in 1869. The coral reef is a kaleidoscope of colour with exotic marine creatures including rays, turtles and octopus. Finally, enjoy cocktails and a delicious dinner prepared by your chef.

Wake up at the luxury resort island of Sindalah, part of Saudi Arabia's Red Sea Project. Spend the day enjoying the wonderful activities and facilities on offer. Visit the Spa and be pampered with luxurious Red Sea treatments. Indulge in all the watersports on offer all around the island or head straight for the sunloungers at the Beach Club for a wonderfully relaxed day, interspersed with a spot of shopping for some beautiful artisanal souvenirs at the Bazaar. You may wish to visit the Catalina site where a seaplane ran into trouble and was abandoned in 1960. The wreck still remains on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba. Finish off the perfect day at the Michelin star restaurant at the beach on Sindalah Island before returning to your motor or sailing boat.

A morning cruise brings you to cosmopolitan Sharm El Sheikh, winding through many coral islands surrounding Tiran Island. Go to the vibrant Old Market and see the stunning Al Sahaba Mosque in the old town or head to Soho Square, with its dancing fountain, for some serious shopping. Visit the modern Heavenly Cathedral to witness the lavishly decorated interior depicting scenes from the bible. Keen divers should head straight over to the Ras Mohammed Natural Reserve and onwards to dive the wreck of the SS THISTLEGORM, sunk in 1941, still laden with tanks and rifles. Farewell cocktails on board your superyacht set you up for your final taste of Egypt at El Kababgy.

Enjoy your final leisurely breakfast on your private motor or sailing boat before bidding a fond farewell to your great Captain and crew as you head out to the airport for your onward flight.
