Questions we get asked
Is the boat really just for us?
Yes. Every sunset cruise is private. Two of you or twelve of you, the boat is yours.
Can you help with a special occasion?
Birthdays, anniversaries and proposals are what this trip is for. Bring your own cake or decorations if you like; just note the boat is alcohol-free. Message us on WhatsApp when you book and we'll help plan it.
Do we swim or snorkel on this trip?
This one's a cruise, no snorkel stops. If you want water time, look at the private half-day charter instead.
What's the boat like?
A custom-built 36-foot boat with shade and a toilet, comfortable for golden hour on the water.
What's included?
Private use of the boat, refreshments, and a licensed crew and skipper. Dinner or catering can be arranged on request.

About the turtles: an honest note
Green and hawksbill turtles live around the Daymaniyat year-round, and most snorkeling trips see them, often up close. But they're wild animals in a protected reserve: we don't chase, touch, feed or corner them, and we can't script an encounter. What we can promise is a crew that knows the sites where turtles actually are, and the patience to let the ocean do its thing.
What to bring
- Swimwear (wear it under your clothes)
- Towel, hat and sunglasses
- Reef-safe sunscreen (the reserve's coral will thank you)
- A dry bag for phones and cameras
- Seasickness tablet an hour before, if you're prone
We provide all snorkeling gear, life jackets (adult and child sizes), drinking water and snacks.
