Several yacht & boat marinas and docks serve the Red Sea and the Gulf of Suez. The major Red Sea marinas for sport fishing boats are in Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh. Wadi El-Dome marina serves sport fishing yachts in the Gulf of Suez. We practice deep sea still fishing (anchored) and drift fishing in waters up to 60m deep.
On trolling we contour reef edges and coral drop-offs that are 120m deep in average.
Please contact us if you have any speccific questions. Here's what most trips cover:

Still-Fishing Tackle:
One fishing set per angler will be available to use during the trip, suitable for both bottom and surface fishing, but NOT fly fishing. Medium-action fishing tackle is used, spooled with 0.4-0.5mm monofil (approx. 20-25lb test) and terminal tackle appropriate for the fishing spot (depth of water and current speed) as well as type and size of fish expected. Heavy handlines are available for big fish (10kg+)
Trolling Tackle:
At least two 80-lb sets are available, including reels, rods, and standard lures and/or spoons. However, many boats are equipped with 3 or more trolling rod holders, so everybody is welcome to bring own tackle as well, or arrange with EgyptFishing for more sets.

Red Sea fishes like natural cut bait--squid, mackerel, shrimp, or sardine constitute the taple baits. At least 2 kinds of these baits will be available in ample quantities, according to fishing seanson and needs.
