Elvira Catamaran Private Half-Day Charter
The whole catamaran Elvira to yourselves for a half day in the morning: $600 for the boat, not per person, up to 10 guests, with marine park fees, cruise permit and fuel already in the price.
Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt · 4h · up to 10 guests · $600 per boat · EN
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 is this tour like?
Elvira is chartered privately: you book the boat, not a seat on it. The morning half day is $600 in total for up to 10 guests, which is the same figure whether two of you go or ten. On board there is a licensed captain with a service crew, a light gourmet brunch with snacks and fruit platters, unlimited soft drinks, water, juices, coffee and tea, plus SUP, kayak and tubes to use in the water. Sun 'N Fun holds 4.8 on Google from 1,346 reviews.
The part that matters most on a Sharm boat is what the price already covers: marine park fees, the cruise permit and fuel are included, so the usual dockside additions do not appear at the end of the day. Hotel pick-up is part of the arrangement from the Sharm El Sheikh marina. The only stated extra is snorkelling gear rental at $5 per piece — bring your own mask and that disappears too. Other slots are priced from the same grid: full day $1,200, afternoon half day $600, dinner cruise $600, overnight $1,500. The crew works in English.
