Short answer: Many day boats in Ain Sokhna leave from Dome Marina, across the road from Porto Sokhna. A larger marina is planned at IL Monte Galala but is not yet built. Your quote always names the marina and the meeting point, so you know exactly where to go.
Dome Marina
Dome Marina sits on the Gulf of Suez, across from Porto Sokhna. It has floating pontoons and receives local tourist yachts, and there is a seafood restaurant, toilets and water on site. Shared snorkelling boats and private day boats both use it, so the quay can be busy in the morning.
IL Monte Galala marina
A new marina is planned as part of the IL Monte Galala development on the coast at Ain Sokhna. Its plans give it room for more than 150 yachts, from 10 to 80 metres long. Construction of the project is due to start in the second half of 2026, so no private boats leave from it yet. We will add it once it is open and we have surveyed it.
Other marinas
Some boats are kept at smaller marinas and resort jetties along the coast. We add them after we survey them. If you are staying at a resort and would like to board nearby, tell us in your request and your concierge checks with the operator.
Which marina will we leave from?
That depends on where the operator keeps the yacht, not on where you stay. Your quote names the marina, the meeting point and the departure time.
On the day
- Allow time for the drive. Ain Sokhna is about 120 km east of Cairo.
- Arrive at the marina named on your quote a little before the departure time.
- Bring your passport or a copy. The port may check guests’ details before the boat leaves.
- The crew meets you at the meeting point on your quote.
- You pay the 75% balance to the operator before boarding, as your quote states.
Questions
- Is a transfer from Cairo included? Only if it is written on your quote.
- Can the yacht pick us up at our resort? Ask in your request. We only promise what the operator confirms in writing.
- What if the weather turns? If the port authority or your captain stops sailing, you choose a new date or a full refund.
