- Abydos Marina The town’s first marina, open since 1990.

Popular routes from El Gouna
- Dolphin House The reef at Shaab El Erg lies between El Gouna and Hurghada. Dolphins rest there and are most likely seen on calm days, but they are never guaranteed.
- The reefs off the coast Reefs close to the shore suit a shorter trip.
Your captain chooses the stops for the wind and the sea on the day. Boats keep their distance from dolphins and never chase or surround them, and swimmers never touch or feed them. On the reefs, boats tie up to mooring buoys, and nobody touches coral or takes anything from the sea.

When to sail in El Gouna
Boats sail all year. In nearby Hurghada the sea is about 22 °C in February and March and 28 °C in August. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable for a full day. The wind blows from the north all year and is strongest from late May to early October, so calm-day trips like Dolphin House are best kept flexible. If the port authority or your captain stops sailing, you choose a new date or a full refund.

How we review yachts
A yacht goes live only after we have reviewed it with its operator on a video call. Capacity, inclusions and price are confirmed with the operator, never copied from an ad. Read more on trust and safety.
Our promise
- Every yacht is reviewed with its operator on a video call before it goes live.
- Pay only 25% to confirm, once you accept your written quote. The 75% balance goes to the operator before you board.
- Plans change. Cancel free of charge up to 72 hours before a day trip, or 30 days before a multi-day charter.
- If the weather or an official sailing ban keeps you ashore, choose a full refund or a new date at no cost.
Questions about yachts in El Gouna
How do I book a yacht in El Gouna?
Send a request with your date, your group and your hotel. A concierge checks with the operator and sends you a written quote. To accept it you pay a 25% deposit online to LuxuryYacht.Tours, and the 75% balance to the operator before boarding.
Which marina do we leave from?
Your quote names it: Abu Tig, Fanadir or Abydos.
Can we go to the Giftun Islands from El Gouna?
Ask in your request, and your concierge checks with the operator.
Will we see dolphins?
Often on calm days, but wildlife is never guaranteed.
Which kind of boat should I choose?
A motor yacht or a catamaran gives shade and space for a full day. A speedboat is quicker and suits a small group for a shorter trip.
Who runs the yacht?
A licensed local operator, named on your booking page once your deposit is paid. We are the booking agent and your concierge.
What is included?
Every yacht we list carries a licensed crew and a life jacket for every guest, including children’s sizes. Everything else is written on your quote, 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 snorkel in a life jacket.
Do I need my passport?
Bring it or a copy. The port may check guests’ details.
What if the weather turns?
If the port authority or your captain stops sailing, you choose a new date or a full refund.
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.
