Description

This private fishing trip in Hurghada takes you out on the Red Sea for a full day of fishing, snorkelling and lunch on board. Our team arranges the transfers, fishing equipment and refreshments, leaving you to focus on the water. The day suits travellers who want a private outing with a relaxed pace and plenty of time to fish.

After pickup, you travel to the marina and board the fishing boat with your guide. Once you leave the Hurghada coast, the crew shows you how to use the equipment and helps you choose an approach for the conditions. No previous fishing experience is needed. Beginners receive clear instruction, while experienced anglers can settle in and follow the movement of the line.

You have two chances to fish, with the boat stopping at separate fishing areas during the day. These stops give you time to try for Red Sea species such as snapper, grouper and barracuda. The catch depends on the conditions and the fish in the area. The focus is on the experience itself: setting the line, watching the water and waiting for the sudden pull.

The first fishing session usually sets the pace for the day. Your guide stays nearby to help with bait, tackle and landing a fish safely. Between casts, there is time to talk with your travelling companions or watch the coastline fade into the distance. A private booking also makes it easier to keep the day comfortable for your group, whether you prefer a steady pace or want to spend longer fishing.

When it is time to eat, you can enjoy your catch at lunch where preparation is possible, or choose from the tasty buffet served on board. Refreshing drinks accompany the meal, followed by more time to rest before the next fishing stop. Lunch gives you a practical break without taking you away from the sea for long, and the crew can explain what was caught during the morning session.

Between fishing stops, the boat reaches a specially prepared snorkelling spot. You can snorkel with the fish in clear Red Sea water and see the marine life from a different angle. Snorkelling is optional, so you can stay on board, enjoy the sun and sea air, or continue fishing instead. Bring your swimwear if you would like to enter the water, and follow the guide’s instructions around the boat and snorkelling area.

Highlights of this Hurghada fishing excursion include:

• A private full-day fishing trip with an expert guide
• Two fishing stops for snapper, grouper, barracuda and other Red Sea species
• Lunch with the option to enjoy your catch or choose from the buffet
• Snorkelling at a prepared spot, with drinks available throughout the trip

We recommend this excursion for couples, families with older children and small groups who want a private day on the water. It is less suitable for travellers who find boat movement difficult or who want a short coastal outing without fishing time. Pickup and drop-off are arranged as part of the service, and our team keeps the logistics clear before you travel. Wear comfortable clothes, use sun protection and bring a towel; the exact pickup time is confirmed according to your Hurghada accommodation.
