Private Speed Boat Hurghada – Dolphin & Snorkeling Tour
YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE
Private speedboat: plan your day
Enjoy a four-hour private Red Sea boat trip for your group, with snorkeling and a route agreed with the captain. Wild dolphin sightings are not guaranteed.
Group example: 4 guests share the boat for €150 total. Adding Orange Bay for all 4 makes €190, before any outside-Hurghada transfer supplement.
What your booking includes & what to check
- Price and capacity: €150 for the whole boat, whether 1 or 6 guests join. Children count within the maximum capacity of 6.
- Included: Private boat program, snorkeling equipment, life jackets, fruit, water, soft drinks and Hurghada transfers. The boat has a toilet and freshwater shower; a full lunch is not listed.
- Optional Orange Bay: Add €10 per guest visiting the island, subject to confirmation of the arrangement. This is additional to the boat price.
- Hotel and route: Send your hotel, group size and ages before booking. Outside-Hurghada transfer supplements are quoted separately; the route depends on weather, access and the captain’s decisions.
Private speedboat or a shared boat day?
Choose this approximately four-hour trip when your group wants its own boat for up to six guests. For an approximately eight-hour shared day with lunch and three planned snorkeling stops, compare the Dolphin House shared boat trip. The shared trip is priced per traveler; this private program is priced per boat.
What to Expect
Your group has the speedboat privately for approximately four hours. After hotel pickup and marina transfer, head toward Dolphin House to look responsibly for wild dolphins, stop for snorkeling at selected reef areas, and enjoy seasonal fruit, water and soft drinks on board. If requested, an Orange Bay visit can be added before returning to the marina and hotel.

Real guest experience: private speedboat in Hurghada
October 2026 guest feedback: “We were happy to see the dolphins in the end. Great experience.”
This feedback comes from guests who joined our private speedboat trip in Hurghada. Dolphin encounters are always with wild animals and can never be guaranteed, but on this trip our guests were lucky to see them before returning to the marina.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the private boat cost for a couple or family?
The base total is €150 for your group of one to six guests, including children and infants. Splitting that total equally gives €75 each for two guests, €37.50 each for four, or €25 each for six. These are cost-sharing examples, not individual tickets; a family with two adults and two children still pays €150 before selected extras.
Is a private speedboat the cheapest option for our group?
Compare your group total with our shared trips. Standard shared Orange Bay costs €25 per adult aged 11+ and €15 per child aged 4–10: two adults total €50, two adults and two children aged 4–10 total €80, and six adults total €150. Paradise Island costs €50 per adult aged 11+ and a fixed €30 per child aged 4–10: the same groups total €100, €160 and €300 respectively. Ages 0–3 travel free on both shared trips. These totals are before applicable extras. The private boat costs €150 for up to six guests, including children. The programs differ: the private boat is about four hours with fruit and drinks, while the shared island trips are about eight hours with lunch.
