Arrival

Airport transfers are included and complimentary if arriving and departing from the Marsa Alam Airport on the charter start/end dates to and from Port Ghalib Harbor, where the yacht docks. If you are part of the complimentary transfer from the Marsa Alam Airport to the yacht, an English-speaking guide will meet and greet you to assist with your luggage inside the airport and another English-speaking guide will be waiting for guests outside the airport. 

The transfer to the Marsa Alam Airport after the charter is at 8 am Saturday morning (for 7-night charters).

We highly recommend arriving in Hurghada or Port Ghalib at least one day prior to boarding on Saturday. Sunday morning after the Port Authorities have checked all guests’ passports and given clearance, no one can board the boat under any circumstances. Arriving early will not only help you get acclimated to the local climate but ensure timely arrival and that all bags have arrived. No bags or guests can be delivered to the yacht after clearance is given.

Saturday Charter End Date

Saturday 8 am Check out and depart to Marsa Alam Airport or Hurghada International Airport. The estimated arrival at Hurghada International Airport is 12 pm. (14-Day advance notice for transportation reservations is required. Private transfers can be arranged.)

The island itinerary to the Brothers, Daedalus, and Elphinstone consists of mainly drift diving from the Red Sea Aggressor III’s skiffs. They are each capable of carrying up to 10 guests for quick access to even the most remote dive sites. Guests may dive up to 3-4 dives per day on this itinerary.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip. Divers are recommended to wait for 24hours before flying after the last dive.
