A private boat day from Ras El Hekma: how it works

Short answer: There is no marina at Ras El Hekma yet, so a private boat day usually starts at Marassi Marina in Sidi Abdel Rahman, further east along the coastal road. Tell us your resort, and your concierge checks with operators and sends a quote that names the marina.

Where you board

The Ras El Hekma resorts sit roughly between km 178 and km 220 of the coastal road. Marassi Marina is at km 129, so it is the nearest working marina we know of. Porto Marina, next to New Alamein, is further east at km 105.

How the day works

1. You send a request with your date, your group and your resort.
2. The LYT Concierge Team replies within 2 hours, 9:00 to 22:00 Cairo time, and sends a written quote: the yacht, the marina, the departure time and what is included. The operator is named once your deposit is paid.
3. You accept the quote, and your concierge sends a secure payment link for the 25% deposit.
4. On the day, you meet the crew at the marina named on your quote, with your passport or a copy.
5. You pay the 75% balance to the operator before boarding.

What to ask in your request

• Whether a boat can meet you closer to your resort. Your concierge checks with operators, and we never promise it in advance.
• Whether you need a transfer to the marina. If it is not on the quote, it is not included.
• A sunset trip or a longer day: see sunset cruise on the North Coast and full-day private charter.

When to go

The busy season on this coast runs from May to October, and the sea is warmest from June to October. See Ras El Hekma weather and sea by month.
