Yachting in el gouna
Automatically translated.
The charter conditions and service costs are very attractive, the boats are in decent condition, everything is simple, but all the essentials are there. The marina is located away from the main party spots, but the availability of transport solves this problem (tuk-tuk, 15 minutes, and you are in the center), ensuring peace, quiet, and freedom in clothing)), the opportunity to swim, there is a beach 50 meters away (it's shallow, but you can swim). The charter company is very loyal to clients, they welcomed us well, the check-in was practically all based on trust, no deposit was required since the boat was rented with a skipper. When we asked the company staff to arrange a trip on a motorboat (there was no wind at all), they provided a boat with a captain for free)).
It became clear why Egypt, with such advantages of the Red Sea, is not popular for yachting; the specifics of yachting in Egypt are related to legislation, restrictions on the movement of boats: only with a local skipper, only during daylight hours from 8 to 17, at other times the boat is strictly in the marina, which greatly limits the pleasure of yachting((. Everything is geared towards day cruises, coral reefs, dolphins, snorkeling, diving, swimming, everything is provided)), but sailing independently with overnight stays in picturesque places, with stops in other marinas is impossible((
