The day begins between 06:00 and 07:00 AM with boarding at Portrait Marina. Guests are welcomed aboard and introduced to the yacht’s facilities. A safety briefing and overview of the planned route are provided before departure. Setting out at 06:00 AM allows the yacht to benefit from calmer morning sea conditions and cooler temperatures.

From 07:00 to approximately 08:30 AM, the yacht cruises south along the Sokhna coastline. This scenic passage showcases mountain-backed shores and resort stretches characteristic of the region. The focus during this segment is smooth cruising and sightseeing. Guests may sunbathe, capture photographs, or prepare a light breakfast using the onboard kitchen facilities if desired. The 1.5-hour passage provides a comfortable transition toward clearer offshore waters.
By around 08:30 AM, the yacht reaches the first anchorage at Crystal Bay, selected for its calm, sheltered waters and good visibility. This stop typically lasts two hours and is dedicated to swimming and snorkeling. The bay’s gentle conditions make it suitable for relaxed water activities, whether guests prefer floating quietly or exploring reef patches. The crew assists with water entry and ensures safety throughout the session. Between swims, guests can rest on deck, listen to music, and enjoy refreshments they have brought.
At approximately 10:30 AM, the yacht heads slightly offshore to access deeper fishing grounds. This segment lasts until about 12:00 PM and combines cruising with a recreational fishing session.

If a suitable catch is made, it can later be prepared on the BBQ during the lunch stop.
From 12:00 PM to 01:30 PM, the yacht anchors in a comfortable leisure bay for lunch. As food is not included, guests may bring their own ingredients.
