Where you board in Ras El Hekma

  • Ras El Hekma marina An international marina is part of the plan for the new city. It is not open yet, and no date has been announced.
  • Marassi Marina The nearest working marina we know of, at km 129 of the coastal road in Sidi Abdel Rahman. The Ras El Hekma resorts start around km 178. Read private yachts on the North Coast.
  • Porto Marina Further east at km 105, next to New Alamein. Read private yachts in New Alamein.

Ask in your request, and your concierge checks with operators whether a boat can meet you closer to your resort. Your quote always names the marina and the meeting point. Bring your passport or a copy: the port may check guests’ details before the boat leaves.

Popular routes from Ras El Hekma

We do not list routes from Ras El Hekma until we have verified a place boats leave from. Most guests staying here who want a day at sea drive east to Marassi Marina and sail along the Sahel coast. This is the open Mediterranean, not a reef sea, so a day at sea here is about swimming and time on the water. Your quote states the marina and the route agreed with the operator.

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

  1. Every yacht is reviewed with its operator on a video call before it goes live.
  2. Pay only 25% to confirm, once you accept your written quote. The 75% balance goes to the operator before you board.
  3. Plans change. Cancel free of charge up to 72 hours before a day trip, or 30 days before a multi-day charter.
  4. 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 Ras El Hekma

Is there a marina at Ras El Hekma?

An international marina is planned as part of the new city, but it is not open yet. We have not verified anywhere at Ras El Hekma that private boats leave from today.

Can I still book a boat day?

Yes. Send a request with your date, your group and your resort. Your concierge checks with operators and sends you a written quote that names the marina. Today that is usually Marassi Marina, further east along the coast.

When is the season?

The busy season on this coast runs from May to October, and the sea is warmest from July to September.

Can we snorkel?

This coast is not a reef coast. A day at sea here is about swimming and time on the water.

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.

How do I pay?

To accept a quote you pay a 25% deposit online to LuxuryYacht.Tours, and the 75% balance to the operator before boarding.

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: food and drinks, towels, water toys and a transfer. If it is not on the quote, it is not included.

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.
