VIP “Elite” Yacht Trip to White Island in Ras Mohammed National Park

The VIP “Elite” Yacht Trip to White Island in Ras Mohammed National Park is an unforgettable journey aboard a luxury three-deck yacht into the open Red Sea, right into the heart of Egypt’s most famous protected marine area. This pristine reserve is world-renowned for its vibrant coral reefs and extraordinary diversity of marine life, attracting divers and snorkelers from all over the globe.

Ras Mohammed National Park is a truly untouched natural sanctuary, where strict protection has preserved the underwater world in its original, unspoiled form. Here, guests can admire spectacular coral formations and colorful fish species in crystal-clear waters, understanding why this destination is considered one of the finest marine environments in the world.

A key highlight of this excursion is the VIP “Elite” yacht itself — a modern, elegant vessel cruising comfortably at approximately 9 knots, designed to provide maximum relaxation throughout the day. The yacht features spacious lounging areas, premium sun loungers, freshwater showers, wooden tables and seating areas, and a refined interior that offers both shade and comfort. Guests may choose to relax indoors or sunbathe on one of the three expansive decks, enjoying panoramic sea views.

Throughout the journey, you will be accompanied by attentive professional staff, pleasant background music, and a delicious onboard lunch, all contributing to a relaxed and exclusive atmosphere. The true highlight of the trip, however, lies in the sea stops near pristine coral reefs, where you can swim, snorkel, and experience the remarkable underwater beauty of the Red Sea firsthand.

The Red Sea is considered one of the youngest seas on Earth, estimated at around 25 million years old. It is unmatched in the Northern Hemisphere for its marine biodiversity. Water temperatures remain above +20°C even in winter, creating ideal conditions year-round. The Red Sea is home to over 250 species of coral and more than 1,000 species of fish, making this VIP yacht experience both luxurious and truly extraordinary.

Excursion Program: VIP “Elite” Yacht Trip to White Island in Ras Mohammed National Park

- Hotel Pick-Up
Our transfer will pick you up from your hotel at approximately 07:30 in the morning (the exact pick-up time will be confirmed after your booking is completed) and take you to the marina. The journey from your hotel to the port takes around 20–40 minutes, depending on your hotel’s location in Sharm El Sheikh.

Upon arrival at the marina, you will have the opportunity to rent snorkeling equipment if needed, including masks, fins, and thermal suits (optional, for an additional fee). Life jackets are provided on board the yacht. Guests who have their own snorkeling equipment are welcome to bring it with them.

The VIP “Elite” yacht accommodates up to 40 guests, offering a spacious and comfortable environment for a relaxed day at sea. Before departure, the crew will assist you with boarding and provide a short introduction to ensure a smooth and enjoyable start to your excursion.

This well-organized program is designed to combine comfort, safety, and premium service, allowing you to fully enjoy your luxury yacht experience from the very beginning of the day.

- Ras Mohammed National Park & White Island

After boarding the yacht and departing the marina, you will enjoy panoramic views of Sharm El Sheikh from the sea. On board, guests will receive a safety briefing and an overview of the day’s program. Shortly after, the yacht will make one or two open-sea stops for swimming and snorkeling near the pristine coral reefs of the world-famous Ras Mohammed National Park.

Throughout the trip, you will be accompanied by professional snorkeling guides. Photographers are also on board, and photos can be purchased optionally for an additional fee. Each stop lasts approximately up to 40 minutes. Guests may snorkel along the coral reefs or relax and sunbathe on the spacious decks.

- White Island

White Island is a natural sandbank of soft white sand in the middle of the sea. Its visibility varies by season due to tides and sea levels, so at certain times of the year it may appear more or less exposed.

Upon arrival, the captain anchors the yacht as close as possible, and guests are transferred to White Island by speedboat. This is especially convenient and safe, as there is no need to swim—ideal for children, non-swimmers, and older guests.

- Seafood Lunch

After swimming, a seafood buffet lunch prepared on board will be served with beautiful views of White Island. Unlimited soft drinks (water, tea, coffee, Sprite, Coca-Cola) are available throughout the day. Freshly squeezed juices and Turkish coffee can be purchased for an additional fee.

For guests who do not prefer seafood, the lunch menu also includes chicken, meat dishes, and vegetarian options such as salads and side dishes.

After lunch, the yacht returns to the marina, sailing along the scenic coastline of Ras Mohammed.

- Return to the Hotel

Upon arrival at the port, our transfer will take you back to your hotel.
Estimated return time: 17:30–18:00.
