Cruising along
Motor yachts come in a whole range of sizes, so what you can get all depends on how deep your pockets are. Fancy something that will cover the family or friends for a quick jaunt around the bay, or something with comfortable cabins that can provide luxurious accommodation for a holiday afloat?

Top-of-the-line brands like Absolute, Azimut, Fountainne Pajot, Meridian, Nomad, Majesty, Princess, San Lorenzo, Sealine, and Sunseeker are available, and can be ordered with customized interior color schemes and finishes.

Canoes, Kayaks, Surfboards, Windsurfers and Small Sailing Boats
What could be more fun than exploring the beauties of the shorelines of the Red Sea with a paddle-board, kayak or sailing dinghy or catamaran? Take things at a leisurely pace and soak up all that wonderful scenery, or speed over crystal clear waters with a state-of-the-art windsurfer. For added water thrills, why not tackle the waves of the North Coast on a surfboard? It’s a great way to keep fit, we promise you.

Marinas
Once you have ordered your dream yacht, you will need to book a suitable berth in one of Egypt’s marinas. Luckily, the rising popularity of boat ownership has led to new marinas being built, most with international standard amenities and services.
Pump it up with inflatables
Fancy a bit of a splash around but missing a backyard pool? There are quick, easy and affordable solutions at hand. Inflatable above-ground pools of various sizes can tuck neatly into even the tiniest garden and are a perfect way to let kids cool off on hot days. Intex water toys, inflatable slides and floating beds can provide hours of affordable fun, at home or at the beach.
