The duration of the trip wasn't accurate
We left the marina late at 9:30 and returned early at 3:20 that takes more than 2 hours from the trip time but the crew was friendly and professional
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you appreciated the friendliness and professionalism of our crew. We’re sorry that the actual trip duration did not match your expectations, and we’ll review the departure and return timing with the relevant team. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Great trip, bad transfer
The whole pirate ships experience was great! Infact the best thing we did in hurghada however….. The return transfer was a complete disaster! Got on one bus then got off, then walked out of the marina onto the main road told to board a coach which then took hours to get back to our hotel. I had 2 young kids so please book your own transfer as they do not care.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us. We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Pirates experience itself and considered it one of the highlights of your trip. At the same time, we’re genuinely sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with the return transfer, especially while travelling with two young children. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been after a full day of activities. We would really like to look into this properly. We noticed that your review is posted under our Sharm El Sheikh Pirates trip to Ras Mohammed & White Island, while your review mentions Hurghada. To make sure we investigate the correct trip and transfer, could you please contact us on WhatsApp at +201206630100 and share the date of your trip, your approximate pickup time, and the hotel you were staying at? This information will help us identify the exact booking and the transportation arrangements involved so we can review what happened with the relevant team. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much smoother experience in the future.

MAKE SURE YOU GO ON THIS TRIP
Absolutely phenomenal!!! The best day out and experience I have EVER been on! If you are in Sharm, please book on this. The staff were just incredible! Like I have become accustomed to now in Egypt, thanks to Coral Reef Water Park Staff as well, the staff on ship made me and my kids feel safe and like family. You get 3 stops during your trip, 2x 45 mins plus coral reef swims and a trip to the white Island. On the White Island, they bury a treasure chest for the kids to find, filled with sweets and bracelets. The sea is crystal clear, warm, and the coral reef and fish were mindblowing to see. I really wish I could remember everyones names, but we had a diver that took me and my daughter over the coral...and he taught her to free dive (which she aced, where as I just ended up with flappy legs in the air). On the first dive, my son wanted to get out (and used the safety signal given to us at the start), the crews tried to help calm and encourage him to look, but he wasn't happy (he is 10 and not liking the snorkel). Crew took him back, which both my son and I knew we could trust the crew to do and him sit with them. They made him laugh so much when I got back on board he was laughing and cheering. The second reef dive, he braved wanting to try again, the crew were all cheering him on and he stayed in...he preferred not to breath through his snorkel and just used googles. The guide helping him along on a floating ring was pointing and joining in with my sons excitement at every fish he saw (there are thousands) 😂 We saw a HUGE moray eel, clown fish and ray on top of all the other incredibly coloured coral fish (who were completely un-bothered by us humans...because everyone is given strict rules on how to swim I suppose). Genuinely cannot praise this day trip enough!! The food was lovely (staff in Egypt like to make us all eat a lot 😂), drinks lovely. This was a group swim, but honestly felt like a private swim 😂 There are soo many guides in the water to help kiddies see everything on a ring, so absolutely noone is left behind or missed, the sea is soo salty you float easily, just an all round exceptional experience and another reason to fall in love with Egypt.

Sharm: Pirates Sailing Boat Ras Mohammed & White island and Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Sharm: Pirates Sailing Boat Ras Mohammed & White island and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sharm: Pirates Sailing Boat Ras Mohammed & White island and Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Sharm: Pirates Sailing Boat Ras Mohammed & White island and Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sharm: Pirates Sailing Boat Ras Mohammed & White island and Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sharm: Pirates Sailing Boat Ras Mohammed & White island and Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sharm: Pirates Sailing Boat Ras Mohammed & White island and Lunch?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sharm: Pirates Sailing Boat Ras Mohammed & White island and Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
