Red Sea Sailing Adventure
Pirates Sailing Boat to Ras Mohammed and White Island with Snorkeling and Lunch
A classic wooden tall ship, two iconic Red Sea destinations, and an open buffet feast aboard a vessel that turns every wave into a memory.
This Pirates sailing boat Sharm el-Sheikh excursion combines the drama of a three-masted wooden vessel with guided snorkeling at Ras Mohammed National Park and White Island, rounding out a full day on the Red Sea with a generous open buffet lunch served in a marble-and-wood salon.
The Pirates fleet is among the most distinctive on the Sharm waterfront. Built to evoke the golden age of sail, the ships feature a sweeping upper sun deck, two fully air-conditioned salons, and interior finishes that set them apart from the standard day-boat experience.
Ras Mohammed is one of Egypt's most celebrated marine reserves, where coral walls drop into open water and reef fish gather in extraordinary concentrations. White Island adds a contrasting stop: a shallow, sandy anchorage ideal for relaxed snorkeling before the return journey.
A professional snorkeling guide accompanies the group at both reef sites, making the experience accessible to first-timers while still rewarding more practiced swimmers with guidance to the best coral formations.

This tour operates out of Sharm el-Sheikh, a premier Red Sea resort city located at the southern tip of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. The itinerary covers two of the most ecologically significant marine sites in the region: Ras Mohammed National Park, established in 1983 and recognized for its dramatic coral walls, pelagic fish populations, and the confluence of the Gulf of Suez and Gulf of Aqaba; and White Island, a shallow sandbar anchorage northwest of Ras Mohammed favored for calm, accessible snorkeling conditions. The Pirates fleet departs from the Sharm el-Sheikh Marina, the central hub for Red Sea day excursions in the area. Sharm el-Sheikh is served by an international airport (SSH) with direct connections to major European and Middle Eastern cities, making this tour highly accessible to international visitors.
