Being a pirate in the Red Sea is great fun. With its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs and stunning marine life, the Red Sea offers a picturesque setting for a boat trip. First, you'll receive a complimentary pickup from your hotel lobby in Hurghada and the surrounding area, before heading towards the marina. Board the pirate yacht, which boasts a unique design and exceptional hospitality, and be welcomed by the crew. Keep an eye out for dolphins, who might come to say hello during the cruise. Your pirate ship captain will take you out to sea on his sailboat and make two snorkelling stops, where there will be treasure-hunting and kids' games on board. You can enjoy watching the variety of marine life, including hundreds of species of fish, coral, turtles, and dolphins. You can also expect to encounter colourful fish such as parrotfish, angelfish, butterflyfish and clownfish. While you explore the magical underwater world, our cruise chefs will be preparing a tasty open buffet lunch for you, including macaroni, French fries, burgers and nuggets. You can also enjoy cold soft drinks and water throughout the trip. Continue sailing to the second snorkelling stop. Your expert snorkelling guides will lead you around the coral reefs. Once the cruise is over, you'll be dropped back off at your hotel.

Snorkeling over the coral reef was a good experience, really pleased we did it. Staff on board the ship were friendly and accommodating. The lunch was buffet style nuggets, chips, koftas, salad, pitta. No seafood as stated nor was it a BBQ which was disappointing. Something for all ages. Overall, a good experience

Was honestly shocked to find out as we where being collected that there was an extra 5 dollars per person to pay for the taxi as this was apparently not included. When we where on the boat we where told that we where to separate from oht 9year old when we enter the sea and that they would go off on their own. I expressed I was not comfortable with this but as we got in the sea was only shouted at to move an leave her there. This was not okay! They where also every strangly attentive towards her.

Seafood BBQ? We were given chicken nuggets and chips. Its basically false advertising. The crew were obsessed with up-sell and tips. I was given an envelope whilst the crew member asked me to consider 'how much I'd like to give each of the seven crew members' and he did this sitting with every couple or family. The photographer onboard expected everyone to buy a package of photos between 60-100 pounds. No, I would NOT recommend.

Wir haben 13 uhr gebucht und sind nicht abgeholt worden , und TUI weigert sich das geld zu erstatten

Le bateau était incroyable. Mais, il n'y a pas eu de vraie chasse au trésor et les animations pour les enfants étaient mal menées (déguisement, maquillage). Pour le repas nous pensions manger un barbecue de fruits de mer, c'est ce qui était noté sur notre réservation, mais c'est uniquement le soir.
