Description

Cruise out from Jeddah on a private Red Sea boat trip that combines smooth hotel transfers, time to unwind on the water, and two memorable stops at sea. Swim near a small crescent-shaped island, snorkel in clear blue water with provided equipment, and enjoy a relaxed outing with snacks and drinks on board.

Your experience begins with pickup from your accommodation in Jeddah. From there, your private driver will take you to the marina, with the journey taking around 50 minutes. On arrival, the team will welcome you, assist with check-in, and get you ready to board. Once on the boat, set off on a scenic cruise across the Red Sea and take in the open views as you leave the shore behind.

The first stop is Crescent Island, a small, crescent-shaped island where you can enjoy time in the water or simply relax in peaceful surroundings. Swim, sunbathe, or stay on board and enjoy the calm setting. After that, continue to a crystal-clear snorkeling site known for its beautiful water and underwater scenery. With snorkeling equipment provided and a professional snorkeling instructor on hand, you can explore the marine environment with added support.

Back on board, enjoy complimentary light snacks and refreshing drinks while you relax and admire the Red Sea views. After approximately four hours at sea, the boat returns to the marina. Your private driver will then meet you for the transfer back to your accommodation in Jeddah, with the return journey taking around 50 minutes.
