The wind drops, the water turns from turquoise to gold, and you have the deck to yourselves. A private sunset cruise in Hurghada is a few hours on a yacht for your group only, leaving the marina in the late afternoon so you are on the water 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 who want an evening alone together, families who want a calm few hours without a full day out, and friends marking the last night of a holiday. Good for a first time on a yacht, and for anyone who wants a quieter alternative to a group boat.
How the evening usually goes
Your captain keeps close to the coast, often near the reefs that suit a shorter trip, 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 route and how long you stay out.
Where you board
Many private boats in Hurghada leave from Hurghada Marina in Sakala, in the city centre. Your quote names the harbour and the meeting point for your trip, so you know where to find the crew.
When to go
Boats sail all year. 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.
