Although not considered a big game fishing water body, the Red Sea is "active" almost year round, making it one of the most interesting fishing destinations on earth; especially if compared to other, more "seasonal" destinations. Probably relative calmness, diversity of species, rich bottom structures, and the warm climate contribute to this.

Red Sea and Gulf of Suez fishing trips range from day charters to 7d/7n non-stop safaris. Longer time not only means more time to enjoy fishing and better chances to catch, but also possibility to reach remote and more rewarding fishing spots.

Depending on take-off point (e.g., Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh, Marsa Alam, or Gulf of Suez,) some good fishing spots may be as close as 2 hours or as far as 6 hours from the marina. Ideal bottom structures in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Suez make trolling on the way in and out rewarding in many cases. In addition, boats troll specific spots (such as drop-offs, and reefs) at the best two time of fishing--early morning and late afternoon.

For Gulf of Suez charters, boats take off around 6:30am and return to marina at 5:00pm (winter) or 6:00pm (summer). For Red Sea charters boat typically takes off at 9:30am and returns to marina at 4:30 (summer and winter) on same-day trips, and return at 7:30am on multi-day safaris.
