1 option for sailing & yacht charter in Sharm el-Sheikh — real operator prices, routes and guest reviews, all in one place.
A private catamaran in Sharm El Sheikh costs $600 for the boat, not per person: the Elvira with Sun 'N Fun, up to 10 guests, for a half day.
On a full boat that is $60 a head — less than a dive day with all its extras, and level with a shared snorkelling day.
Unusually for Sharm, the marine park fees, the cruise permit and the fuel are already inside the price — there is nothing to settle at the pier. The half day includes a licensed captain and a dedicated service crew, a light gourmet brunch with snacks and fruit platters, unlimited soft drinks, water, juices, coffee and tea, and SUP, kayak and tubes on board, with hotel pick-up.
The only extra named is snorkelling gear rental at $5 per piece. Sun 'N Fun holds 4.8 on Google from 1,346 reviews. The whole price grid, cheapest first:
| Tour | Duration | Group | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elvira Catamaran Private Half-Day Charter | 4h | up to 10 guests | $600 per boat |
Operators: Sun 'N Fun
Lovely, new boat, Elvira. Crew very professional and friendly, food was superb. Much nicer sailing than conventional safary boats. Impressive safety equipment, we felt safe and well taken care off. Everything sparkling clean.
What a vibe!! We had the BEST day with Sun ’N Fun and the Sina Dream Sailing Boat — honestly, it was an amazing experience! From the moment we stepped on board, everything felt super smooth and well organized.
A big shout out and infinite thank you to the entire amazing Dihab Lady boat crew and snorkeling guides, especially to Wael.
Everything else on the Sharm water is priced per head, so the catamaran only makes sense once you count the group.
The boat costs the same whether two of you are aboard or ten, which is why this is the format for a family or a group of friends rather than for a couple looking for the cheapest morning out.
| Party | Per head, half day |
|---|---|
| Two aboard | $300 |
| Six aboard | $100 |
| Ten aboard | $60 |
The grid is unusual in that a dinner cruise costs the same $600 as a morning half day, and the full day at $1,200 is exactly two half days rather than a discount. Overnight is $1,500. If your plan is a swim, a snorkel stop and lunch, the half day covers it; if you want to reach the further reefs and still have time in the water, take the full day.
The park fees, the cruise permit and the fuel are all stated as included, so there is nothing to hand over at the pier. Among the dive centres, Mr. Diver quotes the same way; most dive boats add a park fee and gear rental on top of the price they advertise.

Ras Mohammed, the Straits of Tiran, White Island, the reef under a glass hull and the view from a parachute — the whole seaward side of Sharm, with what each one costs.
