When to sail in Sharm El Sheikh

Boats sail all year. The sea stays between about 22 °C (February and March) and 28 °C (July and August), and rain is rare. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable for a full day at sea; in summer many guests choose a morning trip or a sunset cruise. Wind, not temperature, decides most days: the port authority or the captain can stop a trip, and then you choose a new date or a full refund.
