Private charter

Charter the whole boat

For groups of friends, clubs and kite schools who want the Red Sea to themselves. You choose the dates, the route and who is aboard — we handle the boat, the crew and the logistics.

The short answer

What a private charter is

A private charter means your group books the entire yacht rather than individual cabins on a scheduled departure. Same boats, same crew, same water — but the dates, the route and the daily rhythm are set by you.

It usually works out well for groups of roughly eight upwards, because the boat cost is shared across everyone aboard. Below that a scheduled departure is normally better value, and we will say so rather than push a charter you do not need.

Charters are priced per boat, per week, and depend on the season, the vessel and what you want onboard. There is no rate card that would be honest — so we quote each one properly once we know what you are after.

Your group, nobody else

The whole boat is yours. No strangers in the next cabin, no compromise on when the tender goes out or how long a session runs.

Your dates

Charters are not tied to the published calendar. Pick the week that works for your group and we check which boats are free.

Your route

Flat lagoons for a freestyle crew, open water for a stronger group, or a mixed week if some of you are still learning.

Coaching if you want it

We can put instructors onboard for a group that is still building up — or leave you to it entirely if everyone rides independently.

What a charter includes

  • Exclusive use of the yacht and crew for your dates
  • Full board — breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks
  • Tender transfers to the riding spots
  • Airport transfers on arrival and departure
  • Wind-led anchoring, planned around the forecast

Flights, insurance, port and marine park fees, equipment rental, alcohol and crew gratuities sit outside the charter price.

What we need from you

  • Rough dates and how flexible they are
  • How many riders and how many non-riders
  • The level of the group, honestly stated
  • Whether you need instructors or equipment onboard
  • Anything that would make or break the trip

A charter does not have to follow a published route — but these are the waters most groups end up asking for.
