Step aboard a spectacular, twin-masted pirate schooner for our premier Pirate Boat Snorkeling Trip, an unforgettable 7-hour nautical journey departing from the shores of Sharm El Sheikh. Operating daily during all months of the year, this excursion seamlessly blends the nostalgic charm of classic, elegant sailing lines with modern onboard luxury. Designed for travelers aged 2 and up, it accommodates up to 20 passengers per voyage, making it an incredibly comfortable, spacious, and family-friendly cruise. Whether you are seeking a unique day out on the water or celebrating a special occasion, the vessel’s sprawling upper deck features plush mattresses, expansive shaded areas, and professional waiter service, offering the ultimate setting for sun-worshipping and pure relaxation.

Your adventure begins at 8:00 AM with a smooth pickup from your Sharm El Sheikh hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. En route to the main marine jetty, your transport will make a brief stop at a local dive shop, providing a convenient opportunity to rent any necessary snorkeling equipment, including masks, fins, and life jackets, if you do not have your own. Once on board, you will set sail at 8:30 AM for a magnificent two-hour cruise heading northeast along the breathtaking Gulf of Aqaba toward Tiran Island. The ship’s attentive crew will greet you upon arrival with refreshing welcome drinks, and premium beverages—including traditional Egyptian tea, rich black coffee, assorted soft drinks, bottled water, and fresh juices—will remain freely available throughout the entire trip.

The ship will navigate to the legendary Blue Lagoon, a stunning, shallow marine sanctuary famous for its exceptionally calm, turquoise waters. Despite its accessible depth, the lagoon is packed with a diverse array of vibrant coral reefs and thriving schools of tropical fish, making it an absolute paradise for swimming, diving, and snorkeling. The cruise continues toward Tiran Island, anchoring 2 to 3 separate times at premium locations to ensure you get the absolute most out of the Gulf of Aqaba’s underwater ecosystems. Between swims, the onboard chefs will treat you to an astonishing feast, starting with a hot shrimp soup and an array of five fresh salads (four-season, tuna, calamari, potato, and mixed vegetable). The massive open-buffet main course features aromatic basmati rice, curry-baked potatoes, grilled Egyptian Kofta, Pasta Napoli, chicken fajitas, and oven-baked fish, followed by three varieties of fresh, seasonal fruits for dessert. The yacht will glide back to the jetty at 17:00, where your air-conditioned vehicle will be waiting to drop you back at your hotel by 17:30.
