## FAQ
### What should I bring for the Ras Mohammed snorkeling yacht trip?
Bring sun protection, swimwear, a towel, suitable boarding shoes, and any prescription masks or medications. We recommend reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses with a retention strap, and a light cover-up for transfers. Pack motion-sickness tablets if you are prone to seasickness and a waterproof case for phones or cameras. Small cash (Egyptian pounds) is useful for marina tips, soft drinks, or incidental purchases.

### Is snorkeling equipment provided?
Please confirm with us whether snorkeling equipment is included for your specific yacht booking. Many partner yachts provide masks, fins, snorkels, and life vests, but sizes and availability vary by boat. If you require prescription masks, wetsuits, or specific children's sizes, tell us before travel so we can reserve equipment or advise local rental options. Standard Ras Mohammed National Park entrance fees are included unless we state otherwise at booking.

### Can non-swimmers or children join the trip?
Non-swimmers and children can usually join, but final decisions depend on the yacht operator and sea conditions. Life jackets are provided and must be worn when crew request them; younger children require constant supervision. Non-swimmers can remain on board during open-water swims, and we can arrange an in-water guide for weaker swimmers if requested in advance. Tell us ages and swimming ability when booking so we can advise the best arrangement.

### What happens if the sea is rough or the weather is bad?
Trips may be altered or cancelled for rough seas, strong winds, or poor visibility for safety reasons. We monitor Red Sea conditions daily and will offer alternatives such as sheltered reef sites, rescheduling, or a refund/credit in line with our cancellation terms. Morning departures often experience calmer seas than afternoons; we will confirm the plan on the morning of travel. If you need a guaranteed window, ask us about flexible dates when booking.

### How do I get to the yacht departure point in Sharm?
We arrange hotel pick-up and transfer to the Sharm marina, or you can meet us at the designated marina meeting point. Provide your hotel name and flight details so we can confirm pickup time and the exact meeting location. Transfer durations vary by hotel and traffic; allow extra time for hotel check-outs or late flights. If you prefer to arrive independently, we will send precise marina directions and a local phone contact.

### Is the Ras Mohammed yacht trip accessible for travelers with reduced mobility?
Boarding typically requires climbing yacht steps or a marina ladder and moving on an unsteady deck; this may be difficult for some mobility limitations. Most yachts cannot accept wheelchairs onboard; we can request extra crew assistance but outcomes vary by vessel. Water entry is usually by ladder and requires stepping down into the sea; expect uneven surfaces and movement. If accessibility is essential, contact us with full mobility details and we will propose the most suitable yacht or alternative.

### Are you the operator on the ground for this snorkel excursion?
We are the operator on the ground – a licensed Egyptian tour operator operating yacht excursions from Sharm. We handle hotel pickups, marina coordination, yacht contracts, and local snorkeling guides. Unlike bus-based day trips, this excursion departs from the marina by private or small-group yacht, which affects passenger numbers and on-board facilities. Confirm inclusions (gear, meals, park fees) at booking so there are no surprises on the day.
