Makadi Full-Day Fishing Trip
Description
Makadi fishing trip takes you out on the Red Sea for a full day, with two fishing stops and time to snorkel at a prepared location. We collect you from your hotel, drive you to the marina and introduce you to the fishing guide and captain before you set off along the Egyptian coast.
After leaving the marina, the crew heads to the first fishing location. Your guide shows you how to use the tackle and helps you get settled for the morning. Fish from the deck, watch the coastline go by, or take a break in a sunny or shaded part of the boat. The pace stays relaxed, so travellers can concentrate on the line or simply enjoy a quiet day at sea.
The trip includes two fishing stops, with a second anchor point providing another chance after the first. A catch is never guaranteed because conditions and fish activity change, but the fishing is easy to take at your own pace. The captain selects the stops according to the day’s plan, while your guide handles the practical details and helps beginners and experienced anglers alike.
Between the fishing sessions, the boat stops at a prepared snorkeling spot. Swim in the clear Red Sea water and see small fish up close, where their colours and patterns are easier to make out. You can enjoy a gentle snorkel or stay on deck and watch from above. That makes the excursion a good fit for mixed groups, including travellers who would rather swim than fish.
Lunch is served on board as a buffet, giving you a simple meal after the morning on the water. If you catch fish before the second anchor point, the crew can cook it for you alongside the buffet dishes. Bring your appetite, but do not count on catching lunch; the buffet is served whether or not the fish are biting.

We organise the day so you do not need to arrange the marina transfer, boat logistics or fishing stops yourself. The early departure lets you make good use of the daylight, and the boat gives you room to switch between fishing, swimming and resting. It suits adults, families with older children and groups with different interests. Travellers who dislike boats, cannot swim or need extensive mobility assistance should contact us before booking so we can discuss the practical arrangements.
At the end of the day, we return to the marina and arrange your transfer back to your hotel in Hurghada. Wear light clothing, bring sun protection and keep a change of clothes ready after snorkeling. Fishing and snorkeling equipment are covered by the boat arrangements, while personal drinks, tips and other individual expenses remain your responsibility.

Your Itinerary
Our team collects you from your hotel in the Makadi or Hurghada area for the morning transfer to the marina. The day starts at around 8:30, giving you time to settle in before the boat leaves shore. Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and a light layer for the ride; the sun can feel strong on the open water.
At the marina, you meet your fishing guide and captain, then walk aboard the boat and find a comfortable place on deck. The crew checks the fishing equipment and explains the plan for the day, including the two fishing areas and the snorkelling stop. There is space to sit in the sun or choose a shaded area while the boat moves out into the Red Sea.
Once everyone is aboard, the captain guides the boat away from the marina and along the Makadi coast. You see the shoreline recede as the water opens around you, with time to take photographs, watch the changing colour of the sea and ask your guide about the fishing areas.
Your guide explains how to use the rods and tackle before the first stop. No previous fishing experience is needed; the crew gives practical help with bait, casting and bringing in a fish safely. Boat movement, timing and the exact route depend on the conditions at sea, so the captain chooses the most suitable place for the group on the day.
At the first fishing area, the captain anchors the boat and the crew prepares the lines. You have your first chance to catch a fish of a lifetime while your guide stays close to explain the technique and help with the equipment. The pace is relaxed: cast your line, watch the water and enjoy the quiet between bites.
The guide can help you identify what you catch and show you how to handle it carefully before it is stored for the meal later in the day. There is no fixed result with fishing, but every traveller has time to try. When you are ready to pause, sit on deck, take in the Egyptian coastline or have some water before the boat moves to the next activity.
The boat continues to a specially prepared snorkelling spot, where you can leave the rods behind and see the Red Sea from the water. After the crew explains the entry point and basic safety guidance, you can swim above the reef and watch the smaller fish move through the clear shallows. This is a good change of pace after the first fishing session.
Snorkelling is optional, so you can remain on the boat if you would rather rest or enjoy the view. Swim only within the area advised by the crew, and use the provided equipment as directed. The guide keeps track of the group while you look at the different colours and shapes of fish below the surface. Afterward, dry off on deck and prepare for the second fishing stop.
At the second anchor point, you have another chance to fish with the guide and captain. The crew sets up the lines again, and you can choose a place on deck that suits you, with room for both sunny and shaded breaks. This second stop gives you more time on the water and another opportunity to try the local fishing conditions.
Lunch follows the fishing session. If a suitable catch was landed before this stop, the crew can prepare it for the meal; otherwise, you can enjoy the tasty buffet served on board. Take your time over lunch, then relax while the crew clears the deck and starts the return route. The menu and preparation depend on the day’s supplies and the catch.
After lunch, the boat heads back toward the marina. The return crossing gives you a final view of the Red Sea and the Makadi coastline, with time to rest after the fishing and swimming. Keep your belongings together and return any fishing or snorkelling equipment to the crew before the boat reaches shore.
At the marina, our driver meets you for the transfer back to your hotel in Hurghada or the Makadi area. The drive is straightforward, but the exact arrival time depends on the sea crossing, marina procedures and road conditions. You finish the day with your personal photographs, any permitted catch arranged by the crew and a full day on the water.
