The Ras Mohammed & White Island yacht cruise from Sharm El Sheikh puts you aboard a premium boat for a full day that mixes two snorkeling stops in one of the Red Sea’s richest marine parks with a walk on White Island’s sandbank — often described as the closest thing Egypt has to a Maldives-style beach. It suits travelers who want more than a standard group speedboat trip: a quieter, more comfortable yacht, real reef diversity, and a buffet lunch on deck rather than a packed lunch on the sand.
Pickup is part of the price. Some Ras Mohammed trips sold online leave hotel transfers out, so you have to arrange your own taxi to the marina. Here you’re collected from your Sharm El Sheikh hotel and brought back in the late afternoon.
A yacht instead of a packed speedboat. More deck space and a shaded lounge make a real difference in the Sinai sun. That matters most for families with small children, or anyone who wants to rest between swims.
Two different reefs. One stop is closer to the reef walls and drop-offs, with bigger coral formations and more fish. The other is easier. Beginners and confident swimmers both get something out of the day.
Help for beginners. If you’ve never snorkeled, the guide gives a full briefing and stays close to you in the water.
Simple booking. You book directly by WhatsApp with a local team, and you can ask anything before you commit.
Your day starts with a comfortable pickup from your Sharm El Sheikh hotel, followed by a short transfer to the marina, where you board the yacht as it glides out toward open water.
After around an hour of sailing, the yacht anchors at a prime Ras Mohammed reef site. Your guide runs through a safety briefing and hands out equipment before you get in the water, where coral gardens, parrotfish, and angelfish are the norm — with the occasional turtle sighting.
The yacht anchors in shallow, crystal-clear water off White Island, and you step onto the sandbank itself. It's a stop built for wandering, swimming in the shallows, and photos rather than any structured activity.
Back on board, a buffet of grilled chicken or meat, salads, rice, and pasta is served, with soft drinks included as you relax with sea views around you.
A second reef site, generally a bit more dramatic than the first, with coral drop-offs and larger fish life. Your guide leads the way through the more interesting underwater passages.
On the way back, there's time to rinse off, relax on deck, and unwind before the air-conditioned vehicle meets you at the marina for the transfer back to your hotel, arriving around 5:00 PM.
Yes, guides provide a full orientation and assist beginners throughout both snorkeling stops.
No, the park entrance fee (usually around €5 per person) is not included and should be paid in cash on the day.

It's a sandbank within Ras Mohammed National Park that rises out of shallow turquoise water, often compared to a Maldives-style beach.

Free cancellation is available up to 1 day before the trip.
