About this tour

Pirates Sailing Boat is for travelers who want to experience the Red Sea without the rush of a small speedboat. The twin-masted wooden ship combines the character of a traditional sailing vessel with a spacious sun deck and air-conditioned salons, making the boat itself one of the highlights of the trip.

The morning cruise includes two guided snorkeling stops at different reef sites, where you may see coral formations and colorful fish. Equipment and life jackets are provided, while non-swimmers can stay onboard and enjoy the sea views.

Lunch is served onboard, with water, soft drinks, and coffee included. This Pirates Boat Hurghada experience has no island stop, making it ideal for travelers who prefer reef snorkeling and a comfortable premium cruise over a long beach stay.

With Respect Tours, Egypt Through Local Eyes, transfers, guides, equipment, environmental fees, food, and drinks are arranged in one package by a local tour operator in Egypt serving travelers since 1978.

Itinerary

Pirates Sailing Boat Hurghada

 

Your Pirates Sailing Boat Hurghada trip begins with pick-up from your hotel and transfer to the marina. After boarding the twin-masted wooden ship, meet the crew, receive your snorkeling equipment, and choose a place on the spacious upper deck or inside one of the air-conditioned salons.    

 

As the boat leaves the marina, enjoy the open views and fresh Red Sea air. The wooden design and wide deck give the journey a more relaxed feel, while the salons provide a cool place to sit whenever you want a break from the sun.  

 

At the first reef site, the snorkeling guide helps you prepare before entering the water. Beneath the surface, you may see coral formations and colorful reef fish. If you prefer not to snorkel, you can remain on board and enjoy the sea views from the deck.    

 

Back on the boat, there is time to dry off and rest before continuing to the second reef site. At this stop, you have another chance to snorkel in a different location, with the guide available to assist throughout the activity.    

 

After snorkeling, a buffet lunch is served inside the air-conditioned salon, with water, soft drinks, and coffee. After lunch, you can return to the upper deck or relax indoors during the cruise back to Hurghada.    

 

There is no island landing, so you remain on the boat throughout the trip. Once the boat reaches the marina, your driver will transfer you back to your hotel.    

 

The reef locations and order of activities may change depending on wind, visibility, sea conditions, and the captain’s decision.

Best travel agency This review is a true evidence to the great experience and happiness I had with this company. Honestly I've never dealt with people like the team at Respect Tours. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming especially Mr. David Asaad who is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met. He is very kind easy to get along with and has a big heart. His professionalism was outstanding and he is also a great leader with confidence and knowledge I would also like to give a special thanks to our driver Mohsen. He was very friendly helpful and professional throughout our trips and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. I truly thank the wonderful Respect Tours team and wish them continued success and all the best.

Wonderful services - Respect Tour via Novotel Borg / Cairo Exceptional Support and Professionalism - Respect Tours - Novotel El Borg / Cairo I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Achraf Zaki and his colleague Ayman for their outstanding professionalism, kindness and dedication. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely confident and well taken care of. They took the time to understand our expectations and helped us choose the best options to discover and enjoy this wonderful city of Cairo in auguste 2026. Their professionalism, availability and warm attitude truly made a difference and contributed to making our stay even more enjoyable. We will certainly return to the same hotel on our next visit to Cairo, and it will be a real pleasure to have the opportunity to contact Mr. Achraf Zaki and Ayman again. Thank you both for your excellent support and for helping us create such wonderful memories of Cairo. We truly appreciate it! 🌟
