Perfect trip in the red sea
Everything was perfect! The boat trip, the music, the privacy and the organisation. For sure we will come back next Time

Mixed and big disappointment on the progress
I had booked a private outing to avoid the crowded places of big boats where dozens of people crowd, see dolphins and took the option of diving (2 dives on 2 different sites depending on their site). We had no island desire just: do not go where others are to be quiet!
For diving, you must take the yacht lina at least because the boat must have a dive license. Okay, we'll take it.
the day before our excursion: the boat lina is broken down, we are offered another smaller one. (I no longer think of the famous license) we accept.
We leave the port at 9:20 instead of 9:00 to head to the 1st spot: several large tourist boats already present + various small private like us. Noise not possible, visual and noise pollution, dozens of people in the water so that you get pampered in it by those who swim!
the captain explains that this is where I will dive! I will apparently dive via one of the big boats!?! So I just went snorkeling, and I will go diving under the 5m of water to see what I saw on the surface, under dozens of divers and big boats, what is the point?!? Especially since with all this commotion, there is frankly not much to see!
I'm saying no, no point in diving there, we can change places because too many people here. THE ANSWER: ok but you will not dive today!!
We change location to go to another. Instead of having a dozen other boats, you have half of them... including the little ones that come to dock with us! Where is the point of renting a private boat to be alone and quiet?!...
Snorkeling spot just as poor.
The captain offers to go elsewhere but that it would be the same - we decide not to move - the boat emitting a horrible smell of gasoline to give you migraines.
We got home at 3:20!
where's the 8:00 a.m. day...
positive:
- The contact for information and reservation is very cordial and fast. they confirm and reconnect the day before the reservation.
-the 2 crew members were super nice: one helped our son with a buoy for snorkeling - considering the number of people and the rough seas it was more than necessary! and the cook at the top!
-Their meal is very good
- commercial gesture from the boss: I did not pay for the dive - which I did not do!... and a little culinary extra I had asked for was also offered to us, spontaneously. No doubt my lack of expression on the way back made me feel disappointed...
- punctual and cordial transfer
negative:
Captain unsympathetic!
-a horrible smell of gasoline that gave us headaches
- a yacht that does not advance faster than a catamaran sailing with a motor!!
- not respecting what had been requested and what they offer simply (2 dives on 2 different sites...) , search for dolphins, ...
big disappointment so for this day we were waiting for. I could not dive as my delay after that day was too right with my plane back!
we didn't see any dolphins, the captain didn't seem inclined to look for them and told us: you have to go out to sea at 6am to see them?!...
no interest in the 2 spots we stopped at, nothing private or exclusive

Please do this
A great experience, way better than the organized tours with lots of people. We enjoyed our private trip because we could admire the beauty of the Red Sea without all the hassle. We could visit all the places we wanted. We actually made this trip twice in our holiday. The captains were skilled and the crew as well. They took great care of us. Lunch was lovely, the boats were nice. Especially the daybeds on the front deck.

Fantastic day on a fantastic boat
We rented this boat for a whole day. And it was spectacular! The boat is beautiful and very convenient. Even with children it is a great day. There is a relaxing space where you can relax, but where also the children can play. The little pool on board is very funny. Not only for children😀. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They joined us on the snorkelling tour, took care that everybody kept save and pointed out the underwater specials. We must mention the kitchen! The chef prepared a delicious lunch for us.

Great day!!!!
We recommend you spend 100 times an incredible day on the Lina Boat with Captain Mohamed and Jessica.
Thank you to them for this beautiful moment of sharing, it was a beautiful day, with a very professional and adorable crew and staff.
We went to visit Orange Bay and enjoyed snorkeling later that day.
The lunch was amazing, we ate better than at the hotel, thanks to Youssef and Walid.
We were a group of 8.
(4 adults and 4 children)
A beautiful family moment that remains etched in our eyes and those of our children.
