Fishing boats work out of the Sharm El Sheikh marina all year round; the one with a published price and a real review count behind it is Temple Cruise.
What is the charter?
Temple Cruise runs a private full-day fishing trip out of the Sharm El Sheikh marina at £85 per person, a discounted rate against the operator's usual £100. The published day is eight hours. The listing names a private boat and two rods.
The operator holds 4.6 on Google from 239 reviews as of 3 September 2026, and states that trips run year-round, subject to weather and sea conditions.
Why is private the headline?
On a shared trip the rods are passed around and the boat follows one plan for everybody. On a private charter the boat is yours for the day: if a spot is not producing, it moves, and the timing follows you rather than the timetable. The price is still quoted per person, which is worth keeping in mind when you count the group — that is a quirk of how this operator prices.
What the listing does not say, and what we do about it
Beyond the private boat and two rods, the composition of the day is not disclosed: bait, tackle beyond the two rods, food and drinks, what happens to the catch, whether more rods can be added for a larger group. We do not fill those gaps with plausible guesses. Before a booking is confirmed we ask the operator in writing and pass the answers on. If you are four people planning to fish rather than to watch, the number of rods is the first question to put.
The listing names only a private boat and two rods. Bait, food, what happens to the catch and the number of rods for a larger group we confirm with the operator in writing before booking — the gaps are not filled with guesses.
And the transfer?
No transfer is stated either, so plan to reach the marina yourself. The operator confirms the exact berth and departure time when the booking is accepted, and we pass on those coordinates.
Where does it fit in a week?
Eight hours is a full day, and the marina departure is early. That makes fishing a poor neighbour to another long boat day — put a beach day or a short outing between them. The compact alternatives are a $26 parasailing flight or the $13 glass boat, both sold on their own rather than inside a longer excursion.
If the group is bigger than the boat's fishing kit
Then the honest comparison is a private charter of a different kind. The catamaran Elvira is $600 for the boat — not per person — for up to 10 guests on a half day, with captain and crew, brunch, unlimited soft drinks, SUP, kayak and tubes, hotel pick-up, and the marine park fees, cruise permit and fuel included. It is not a fishing boat, but for a group that wants a private day on the water it is priced very differently.
All prices are the operator's own published figures as of 3 September 2026, in the operator's currency.
