Short answer: Marassi Marina, in Sidi Abdel Rahman at km 129 of the coastal road, is where most private boats on the North Coast leave from. A private trip runs from a few hours to a full day, with swimming where your captain allows it, and your quote says exactly what is included.
Where it is
Marassi Marina is inside Marassi, on Sidi Abdel Rahman bay on the Mediterranean. It opened in August 2021 and takes yachts from 12 to 155 metres. Porto Marina, next to New Alamein, is about 24 km to the east along the coast road.
What a trip looks like
- You meet the crew at the meeting point named on your quote.
- The captain gives a short safety briefing and the yacht leaves the marina.
- You sail along the coast. You swim only where your captain allows it.
- You sail back at the time on your quote.
Shorter trips suit a sunset cruise on the North Coast; longer ones suit a full-day private charter.
Swimming, not snorkelling
This is the open Mediterranean rather than a reef sea. A day from Marassi is about swimming, the water and time on deck. The sea is warmest from June to October; see the best time for a boat trip on the North Coast.
Which yacht suits Marassi
A motor yacht or a catamaran gives shade and space for a long summer day. A speedboat is quicker and suits a small group for a short trip. Tell us your group and we suggest yachts that fit.
What to bring
Your passport or a copy, because the port may check guests’ details before the boat leaves. Bring swimwear, a towel and sun protection. Your quote lists food, drinks and water toys if they are included. If it is not on the quote, it is not included.
Questions
- Can non-swimmers come? Yes. They can stay on board or swim in a life jacket. Your concierge confirms the life jackets, in children’s sizes if needed, with the operator in writing before you pay.
- Is there a marina fee? Your quote says whether a fee applies and whether it is included.
- What if the weather turns? If the port authority or your captain stops sailing, you choose a new date or a full refund.
