About Our Service in Marsa Alam & Route
09:00 – Boarding & Welcome: Step aboard to chilled welcome drinks and a smooth safety briefing that covers snorkeling etiquette, reef protection, and the day’s plan. The yacht eases away from the dock as you settle into shaded seating or the open sun deck with panoramic views of the coast.
09:00–10:30 – Northbound Cruise to Giftun Island (~15 NM): The sea passage is part of the pleasure. Lounge on plush deck seating, chat with your guide about species you’re likely to see, and watch for flying fish in the bow wake. Our crew sets up masks, fins, and buoyancy aids while the chef preps a light refreshment service.
10:30–12:00 – Mahmya Beach Reef Session: We anchor in calm water near Mahmya Beach, famed for clear visibility and gentle gardens of branching and plate corals. A guided 60-minute snorkel explores shallows frequented by butterflyfish, sergeant majors, and curious parrotfish. Entry and exit are supported from the wide swim platform with freshwater showers to rinse salt after the session.
12:00–12:45 – Light Refreshments Underway: Fresh fruit, juices, and light snacks are served as we reposition toward Orange Bay. The crew shares local insights on currents and lagoon sandbanks and is happy to tailor pace and timing to your group’s comfort level.
12:45–14:30 – Orange Bay Leisure & Buffet Lunch: The lagoon at Orange Bay offers tranquil, shallow water with iconic pale sands. Choose kayaking over glass-clear shallows, a shore walk for photos, or relaxed sunbathing on the upper deck. Lunch is a generous, chef-prepared buffet — think crisp salads, grilled chicken or fish, mezze favorites, and fresh-baked bread — served onboard with the option of a tasteful beach setup when conditions permit.
14:30–15:15 – Sandbank Interlude: Dinghy transfers shuttle you to a nearby sandbank — a perfect interval for barefoot relaxation and beach captures. Our team sets umbrellas and comfortable low seating; chilled water and towels are always within reach.
15:15–16:00 – Afternoon Tea & Sweet Treats: Return to the yacht for tea, coffee, and dessert bites. This gentle hour is made for slow music, journals, or a final, lazy swim from the stern platform.
16:00–17:00 – Scenic Return to Marsa Alam: Settle into shaded lounges for the golden-hour run back. The crew organizes equipment, handles gratuity envelopes discreetly on request, and confirms any transfers — a smooth close to a beautifully paced day.
About Our Yacht – Diamond Explorer
Diamond Explorer is a 37 m motor yacht designed for comfort and social space. With 17 air-conditioned, en-suite cabins accommodating up to 28 guests, she’s ideal for families, celebrations, and corporate groups seeking room to spread out without losing the intimacy of a private charter. Interiors combine a calm, modern aesthetic with practical finishes; the indoor dining lounge is bright and convivial, while the open-air upper deck functions as a breezy living room with cushioned seating. A large sun deck offers shaded bean bags and loungers; the wide dive/swim deck and freshwater showers make transitions from sea to sofa easy. The 2020 refit refreshed soft furnishings and public spaces, enhancing airflow, comfort, and flow throughout. Navigation and safety equipment meet Red Sea charter standards, and the crew’s hospitality training shows in the small touches — cool towels after swims, extra sunscreen, gear adjustments, and child-friendly assistance when needed.
Why Choose This Marsa Alam Charter
This route pairs two of the Red Sea’s most iconic stops in one unrushed day, delivered on a large, stable yacht with the staffing and deck space smaller boats can’t match. You gain luxury, privacy, and flexibility — from beach-style lunch setups to sandbank interludes — with a crew that anticipates needs and keeps the day personal. If you want a private Giftun and Orange Bay experience that feels curated rather than crowded, Diamond Explorer is the smart choice. Reserve now for a date that fits your travel window and let our team tailor the tempo, menu, and activities to your group.
