Egypt Boats: private boats in Hurghada

Private only, no group tours · speedboats for 4–8 people, crewed yachts · Marina Road, Hurghada · WhatsApp, pay online or before departure

Egypt Boats (also trading as Private Hurghada) rents out whole boats, not seats. You pick a speedboat sized for your group, or a crewed yacht for the day, and choose between a dolphin route or an island route. They publish their boat list with lengths and passenger limits, which most private-boat sellers don't. Cancel 24 hours ahead and you get a full refund. Later than that, you don't.

The fleet, in numbers

This is the most useful page on their site. It lists their speedboats by make, length and how many people each one takes:

Boat Length Up to
Wellcraft 5 m 4 people
Chaparral 6 m 5 people
Horizon 6 m 6 people
Rib-craft 8 m 6 people
Thunder VIP 9 m 8 people
Four Winns 10.5 m 8 people

A family of four fits on the smallest boat, but on a choppy afternoon they'll feel every wave. The 8–10 m boats ride better. For more than eight people you need one of their yachts. The yacht day runs roughly 09:00 to 16:30 with snorkelling, some fishing, and diving if you arrange it.

Two routes

  • Dolphin tour, about 4 hours: search for the wild dolphins around Dolphin House, two snorkel stops and a stop at Abu Minqar island. If the dolphins stay you can get in the water with them. The captain should follow the HEPCA guidelines, explained on our Dolphin House page.
  • Island tour, about 4 hours: Orange Bay, Paradise Island or Eden Island, with time on the reef.

They also run private quad safaris of 3 or 5 hours, and an "adventure pack" that combines three hours on a speedboat with a quad session. The speedboat page includes snorkel gear, snacks, drinks, hotel transfers and fees, including island entry fees. That last one is the line many other private boats leave out. There's no photographer on board, which the site presents as a feature.

Who runs it

The site describes two companies working together: Hurghada Sea Adventures L.L.C. at 20 Marina Road in Hurghada, and ASTP GO FZCO, registered in the Dubai Silicon Oasis free zone, which issues the terms and privacy policy. The site mentions Spanish–Egyptian management and seven years of operation, says it takes no commissions from third-party vendors, and says there's no pressure to tip. It does not publish a Ministry of Tourism licence number.

Paying and cancelling

Booking is by WhatsApp, phone or the contact form, under the slogan "Book now, pay later". The terms say you pay online or on the spot before the boat leaves, and card payments are charged in Egyptian pounds, so your bank's exchange rate applies. Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund. After that, or if you don't show, there's no refund. Wind is the tricky one. The terms say the company isn't liable for weather delays, but also that if it cancels you'll be offered an alternative or a full refund. Ask which of the two applies on a windy morning before you pay.

Comparing with platform listings

Private speedboats from Hurghada are one of the busiest categories on GetYourGuide and Viator, and many are sold by companies like this one. Compare the boat length and passenger limit, not just the photo. Check that the island fee is included. The private boat page lists live options and explains per-boat pricing.
