Short answer: On the North Coast, private boats mostly leave from two working marinas: Marassi Marina in Sidi Abdel Rahman and Porto Marina in Marina El Alamein, next to New Alamein. New marinas at New Alamein and Ras El Hekma are planned but not open. Your quote always names the marina.

Marassi Marina

Marassi Marina is in Marassi, on Sidi Abdel Rahman bay, at km 129 of the coastal road. It opened in August 2021. The developer says it can take up to 267 yachts, from 12 to 155 metres, with refuelling and services all year. It has a yacht club. More in Marassi Marina by private yacht.

Porto Marina

Porto Marina is at km 105, inside Marina El Alamein, about 24 km east of Marassi and next to New Alamein. Its marina lake dates from 1992, and in 2026 the resort reopened after a major redevelopment of its hotels and marina. More in Porto Marina by private yacht.

What is planned, not open

  • New Alamein: the government plans an international port for yachts and cruise ships, to be built in phases. No opening date has been announced. See the New Alamein yacht port.
  • Ras El Hekma: an international marina is part of the master plan for the new city. Construction there started in 2026 and no marina date has been announced. See is there a marina at Ras El Hekma.

Which marina will we leave from?

That depends on where the operator keeps the yacht, not only on where you stay. Tell us your resort in your request. Your quote names the marina, the meeting point and the departure time.

On the day

  1. Arrive at the marina named on your quote a little before the departure time.
  2. Bring your passport or a copy. The port may check guests’ details before the boat leaves.
  3. The crew meets you at the meeting point on your quote.
  4. You pay the 75% balance to the operator before boarding, as your quote states.

Questions

  • Is there a marina fee? Your quote says whether a fee applies and whether it is included.
  • Can we leave from a resort beach? Ask in your request, and your concierge checks with the operator.
  • What if the weather turns? If the port authority or your captain stops sailing, you choose a new date or a full refund.
