A full-day private charter on the North Coast gives your group the whole yacht for the day, with time to swim, eat and rest on deck. Most days leave from Marassi Marina in Sidi Abdel Rahman and stay along the Sahel coast, with swimming stops your captain chooses for the sea that day.
Who it suits
Families and groups who want a long day on the water during their summer on the Sahel. A motor yacht or a catamaran gives shade and space for a long day.
How the day usually goes
You sail along the coast and stop to swim where your captain allows it. This is the open Mediterranean rather than a reef sea, so the day is about swimming and time on the water, not snorkelling.
If you would like to sail as far as the coast near New Alamein, ask in your request and your concierge checks with the operator. Read private yachts in New Alamein.
Your quote states the departure time, the hours at sea and the route agreed with the operator.
Where you board
Most private boats on the North Coast leave from Marassi Marina in Sidi Abdel Rahman, at km 129 of the coastal road. Some leave from Porto Marina at km 105, next to New Alamein. Your quote names the marina and the meeting point, so you know where to find the crew.
When to go
The Mediterranean here is a seasonal sea. Near Marina El Alamein it averages about 17 °C in February and March, about 25 °C in June and about 29 °C in August, then cools to about 23 °C in November. The busy boat season on the North Coast runs from May to October. The wind averages about 14 to 19 km/h through the year and blows mostly from the north-west, a little stronger in March and April. June to October has the warmest water for a long day of swimming. In high summer the sun is strong, so shade on board matters.
What is included
Before you pay, your concierge confirms with the operator in writing that there is a life jacket for every guest, in children’s sizes if children are coming. Everything else is written on your quote, line by line: snorkelling gear, food and drinks, towels, any protected-area fee and a hotel transfer. If it is not on the quote, it is not included.
Questions
What if the weather turns?
If the port authority or your captain stops sailing, you choose a new date or a full refund.
Is lunch included?
Your quote says so, line by line. If it is not on the quote, it is not included.
Can non-swimmers come?
Yes. They can stay on board or swim in a life jacket.
When do I pay?
Nothing is charged when you send a request. If you accept the quote, your concierge sends a secure payment link for the 25% deposit to LuxuryYacht.Tours, and you receive a receipt. You pay the 75% balance to the operator before boarding.
Who runs the yacht?
A licensed local operator. We name it on your booking page as soon as your deposit is paid. We are the booking agent and your concierge.
Do I need my passport?
Bring it or a copy. The port may check guests’ details before the boat leaves.
Is the price per person or for the whole boat?
For the whole boat. Every trip is a private charter for your group only, and the price covers the yacht, not each guest.
