Private Boat Excursions from Sahel Hashesh
Dolphin House Boat Trip from Sahl Hasheesh
The Dolphin House boat trip from Sahl Hasheesh puts a full day on the Red Sea within easy reach, with time to swim, snorkel and look for dolphins in their natural environment. Our team arranges the transfer to the marina, welcomes you aboard a private vessel and keeps the day at a pace that suits your group. There is time for open-water swimming, snorkelling in shallower areas and breaks on deck, making this a comfortable choice for families, couples and friends travelling together.
Dolphin House is known for the pods of dolphins that move through the surrounding waters. They are wild animals, so sightings are never guaranteed, and nobody can promise that you will swim beside them. When conditions allow, the crew heads to suitable areas where you can watch, swim and snorkel without being hurried. A guide and crew member stay nearby to explain the boat routine and help you enter the water safely.
Several stops let you explore the Red Sea marine life at your own pace. Use the provided snorkelling equipment to look over coral formations for small reef fish and other sea life. You can stay near the boat, swim with a guide or spend longer in the water if you are confident. Non-swimmers can remain aboard, use a flotation aid where available and enjoy the views without pressure to join every activity.
Travelling on an exclusive vessel means your party has more room than it would on a large shared boat. It is easier to find a comfortable rhythm between swimming, fishing and time on deck. Travellers looking for a quiet break can sit in the shade, while those who want to stay active can use the available equipment and return to the water between stops. Scuba diving may be possible only when arranged and suitable for the traveller's experience, certification and local conditions; this excursion is not a certified dive course.
Fishing changes the pace between snorkelling stops. The crew provides access to the onboard fishing equipment, so you can spend part of the day fishing while watching the boat move across the open sea. This is casual recreational fishing rather than a specialist fishing charter, and the experience depends on local conditions and the day's route. Our team takes care of the main logistics while you spend time together.
Lunch is served onboard from an open buffet, so you can eat without leaving the boat. It gives you a proper break after swimming, and the deck provides space to sit and dry off before the next activity. Bring extra snacks or drinks for children or dietary requirements, and tell us about important dietary needs before the excursion so we can advise what can be arranged.
The trip suits travellers who like being on the water and feel comfortable with a day centred on sea activities. It may be less suitable for anyone with severe motion sickness, serious mobility limitations or a medical condition that makes swimming unsafe. Getting onto the boat usually involves steps, as does moving between the deck and the water. Speak to our team about mobility, pregnancy or health concerns before confirming the excursion so we can explain the arrangements clearly.
Pickup and drop-off are arranged from your accommodation area in Sahl Hasheesh, and our local team handles the boat departure. Sea conditions, wildlife movements and the final order of stops may affect the route, but the crew keeps travellers informed during the day. Wear swimwear under light clothing, bring sun protection and keep valuables in a waterproof bag. Pack towels and personal medication separately so they are easy to reach.

Your Itinerary
Our team picks you up from your accommodation in Sahel Hashesh and transfers you to the marina. After boarding your private vessel, the crew gives a short safety briefing and explains the day’s route, equipment and sea conditions. You then head across the Red Sea towards Dolphin House, a reef area known for dolphin sightings and clear water. Sightings depend on the animals and the conditions, so the crew respects safe distances and does not promise an encounter.
At the designated stops, you can go snorkelling and swimming in the warm waters while using the onboard equipment to look for colourful reef fish and other marine life. Travellers who want a quieter activity can pass a worry-free day fishing from the boat. Scuba diving may also be possible when arranged and suitable for the day’s programme, with the crew explaining the available options before entering the water.
During the cruise, savour an onboard lunch buffet with time to rest, enjoy the sea views and drink refreshments. After the final swim or fishing stop, the boat returns to the marina. Our driver meets you there for the transfer back to your accommodation in Sahel Hashesh, with timing shaped by the sea route and the day’s conditions.
