While pirate lore is more typically associated with the Caribbean, Egypt’s tourism innovators saw an opportunity to delight visitors with a fresh spin on maritime entertainment. Adapted with a Middle Eastern twist, these tours blend pirate myths, tales of the Red Sea, and playful theatrics. The Red Sea’s history of spice trade and sea routes lent intrigue to the fantasy—making pirate-themed tours a natural, imaginative touch in the region’s travel offerings. Now, they’re firmly established as one of Sharm’s most entertaining attractions.
Step aboard a vessel modeled after classic galleons—tattered sails included purely for dramatic effect—and set sail from Sharm’s marina into azure seas. Routes typically include snorkeling stops at Ras Mohammed, paddle around Tiran Island, and encounters with lively reefs. The ship’s structure, complete with wooden beams and authentic pirate decor, adds realism while ensuring comfort and modern safety. Guests are free to explore, sunbathe, or take to the crow’s nest for panoramic views as the coast recedes into the horizon.
The entertainment begins within minutes of setting sail: lively music, pirate character parades, and a captivating welcome by the “Captain” aboard the deck. Activities include dance-offs, face painting, caricatures, limbo contests, and mock sword fights that are safe yet exciting. Crew members stay in character, making guests feel like honorary pirates. This vibrant setting keeps passengers engaged, with children particularly captivated by the sense of being part of a theatrical story.
Families love this excursion because it bridges generations seamlessly. Parents can relax with drinks and scenic views while kids are enthralled by pirates’ quests, treasure hunts, and crafts. The itinerary is balanced to allow everyone to enjoy sea time, snacks, and relaxed moments. Safety gear such as life vests and snorkeling aids are available for children and novice swimmers—ensuring peace of mind alongside entertainment.
A day cruise usually lasts around 5–6 hours, offering ample time for snorkeling, beach stops, pirate games, lunch, and photo ops. Meanwhile, a sunset voyage is shorter—around 3–4 hours—and emphasizes ambiance with golden-hour views, evening entertainment, and relaxed vibes. Families tend to prefer daytime sails for more activities; couples and adults often opt for the more atmospheric sunset route, ideal for romantic or serene moments with a twist of pirate flair.
