Route A: You choose the island (4 hours)
Pick from Hula Hula, Magawish, Paradise or a short Giftun stop, plus one or two snorkel reefs along the way. Best for travelers who already know the area or want one specific reef.

Private Speedboat in Hurghada
A private speedboat for up to 8 guests. You pick the island, the pace and the number of stops. We handle the captain, the fuel and the hotel pickup.
A private speedboat is the most flexible Hurghada boat day. It works well for small groups (4-8), couples who don't want the crowd of a 60-person day boat, and families with young kids who tire fast on a long day. Two routes are available: 'you choose the island' (4 hours) and a focused Dolphin House run (5 hours). Pricing is a flat boat price up to 8 guests, not per person.
Not the best fit if
If your group is larger than 8, contact us on WhatsApp for a private day-boat instead. The speedboat is light and bumpy; pregnant guests and anyone with serious back issues should pick the slower day boat.
Route B: Dolphin House run (5 hours)
A focused trip to the Sha'ab El Erg dolphin reef with one extra snorkel stop. Dolphin sightings are possible but never guaranteed - private speedboats often time the morning arrival before the day-boat crowd, which can help.

Common questions
Is the boat private to my group?
Yes. The flat boat price reserves the whole boat for your group only, up to 8 guests.
Can we change the route on the day?
Within reason, yes - the captain will accommodate small changes (an extra reef, more time at one stop). Major route changes need to be agreed in advance because of fuel and timing.
Will we see dolphins?
We can't promise that. Dolphins are wild animals and may not appear. Private boats can time the visit better than the larger day boats, but that's a tactic, not a guarantee.
