A private sunset cruise in El Gouna is a few hours on a yacht for your group only, leaving one of the town’s marinas in the late afternoon so you are at sea as the sun goes down behind the coast. The departure time moves with the season and is written on your quote.
Who it suits
Couples, families and small groups staying in El Gouna who want a calm evening on the water. Good for a first time on a yacht.
How the evening usually goes
Your captain keeps close to the coast and chooses where to stop for the wind and the sea that evening. There may be time for a swim before sunset if the group wants one.
Your quote states the departure time, which changes with the season, the marina and how long you stay out.
Where you board
El Gouna has three marinas: Abu Tig, with its North and South basins, Fanadir on Fanadir Bay, and Abydos, the town’s first marina. Your quote names the marina and the meeting point, so you know where to find the crew.
When to go
Boats sail all year. In nearby Hurghada the sea is about 22 °C in February and March and 28 °C in August. The wind blows from the north all year and is strongest from late May to early October. Evenings are mild for most of the year, and in winter a light jacket helps once the sun has set.
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.
Can we bring children?
Yes. Children count towards the licensed number of guests. Tell us their ages in your request, and your concierge confirms child-size life jackets with the operator in writing before you pay.
Can we add a cake or drinks?
Yes. Mention it in your request, and every extra is written on your quote with its price.
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.
