    This boat trip was top-tier from start to finish. The crew was fantastic, and the water activities were unbelievable, we loved snorkeling, then we went to swim a bit, and wading through the magical shallow water. And let’s talk about the food: adding it for extra was 100% worth it. Easily the best meal of our trip.

    It’s one of the best boat trips I have ever done in my life. Islam is very responsive and managed everything in a very efficient way. As for the crew, they are all very decent and hosted us in the best way possible. The food was incredibly delicious and the qty was more than expected! They served fruit platters and drinks throughout the trip. Everything was amazing! Thank you Islam and the crew!

    I would highly recommend Islam and the Lavignia crew. From start to finish Islam was so helpful and informative. Our snorkel guide Mohammed was excellent, he really helped those of us that had not snorkelled before and made sure that we didn’t miss anything. The food was delicious. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. We were celebrating my dad’s 60th birthday so Islam kindly arranged a surprise cake and decorations. A great finishing touch! The boat was incredible. It was modern, clean and spacious and made the whole day feel very luxurious. Thanks again for an amazing day!!

    From start to finish Islam and his crew was amazing. They never stopped making sure my friends and family were taken care of all day. Mohammed was excellent with the kids keeping them entertained and making sure everyone who was snorkeling feel safe and made sure they didn't miss a thing. The boat was 5 star and accompanied all our needs and beyond. The food was unbelievable and we all agreed it was the best meal have had so far on our holiday. I had informed Islam this trip was for my wife for our wedding anniversary and he told me not to worry he would make it an unforgettable experience and he really delivered. He went of his way to bake us a cake with our picture on it saying happy anniversary. It really was that extra touch that completed our trip. I can't thank you enough Islam. If we ever return I hope we meet again. Thank you.

    Our boat trip to Orange Bay and Eden Island was absolutely incredible! Islam was amazing from start to finish—his communication was excellent, and he was such an honest, trustworthy man. The boat was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and our captain’s skills were seriously impressive! The reef completely blew us away and was easily comparable to some of the gorgeous reefs we visited in Belize. The entire experience was unforgettable, and we would absolutely book with Islam again. Highly recommend!

    Starting with the fact that this is a beautiful boat, very clean, well kept, amazing crew, delicious food and Islam the owner was awesome, he’s not only our host now, he literally became a friend, so polite and respectful, his communication was on point and he always was on top of every detail to make sure we were comfortable. We spend 2 nights on the boat and it was great, the reefs, the sand banks and beaches were spectacular. The food was amazing, not boring as it was all different every single day wouldn’t change anything about it. The boat condition also pristine, very clean, comfortable and safe. Overall my family/friends and I left so happy and pleased from this experience. And we will return and definitely book this boat again. Thank you Islam and crew for this amazing 2 days.

    !A huge thank you! The ad is convincing and reflects the boat 100%. No exaggeration, just exactly what you see. The communication was top-notch. Thanks to Islam. Our contact person on site was Gaber, a very friendly young man who was always there. He took videos with our action camera and dived deep into the water to capture beautiful shots. We were on the boat as a family of 8 people and were looked after by a total of 5 crew members. Everyone was super nice. The food was served buffet-style and was super fresh and more than enough. The stops were well chosen. The beach section in particular was fantastic and unforgettable. The only small negative point was the shuttle driver, who was very loudly talking on several cell phones at once. But that's complaining at a high level. The boat trip is absolutely recommended. Thanks to the entire team, which was also shown by a generous, happy tip (an absolute must, so don't forget it). 5 out of 5 stars

    We were a group of 25 people including adult and kids. Great food and lovely staff. Friendly, patient, smiling. It was the best time we had in Hurgadha. The boat was as expetected, really beautiful and very clean. The ment is all material needed for snorkeling. The food was just amazing, even in the hotel we did not eat such a nice food. Special Thanks to the chef. The communication was easy with Islam and everything was transparent in regards to the price and fees. I highly recommend. Thanks to all the boat team !!

    We had a fantastic experience on board of Lavignia! From the moment of booking to the end of our yacht trip, everything was smooth, professional, and well-organized. Islam was responsive and accommodating, answering all our questions promptly. The yacht itself was spotless, stylish, and well-equipped—exactly as advertised. We especially appreciated the crew’s hospitality; they were friendly, experienced, and made sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the journey. Whether it was cruising along the coast, enjoying a swim stop, or simply relaxing with a drink on deck, the entire experience felt luxurious and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a carefree day at sea with excellent service and breathtaking views. I’ll definitely be booking with Islam again if I get a chance! Many thanks!!

    We had a wonderful experience. ? A very special trip with outstanding service. The food was delicious, the permit and crew were always attentive and sensitive to the children, and their interactions were always natural and unpretentious. The atmosphere was simply great from start to finish. The owner loves his boat and treats his guests with great passion. Thank you for the unique experiences. We also had wonderful evenings together during the three-day trip and, of course, an enchanting underwater world. Six stars! ?

    I rented the Lavignia from Islam to celebrate my dads 60th birthday. From my very first communication with Islam I have been super impressed. He answered all the questions I had ( I had many) step by step supported me with his local knowledge as I have never been to Egypt and was planning a party there. He helped me source various other people (ie photographer shout out to Ash for his very bubbly energy) to help make the day a success no request was too little to help with. On the day of our sail the magic continued. We were all super impressed. The boat was clean and tidy. Staff were very good and made us feel very comfortable. All my guests were super happy particularly with the food. It was sooooo tasty and well flavoured and plenty to go around too. All in all I would highly recommend sailing with this team. From the moment of booking we felt taken care of. Thank you again Islam for making my dads day so memorable.

    We had a beautiful and unforgettable day with our family on the Lavignia Cruise. The entire team took great care of us and the food was really, really tasty! The children also had a lot of fun and were very happy about the dolphins that we got to see. Many thanks to Islam who took care of everything and always had an open ear for us. We would book you again at any time!

    This boat day was the highlight of our trip, 5 star service, well organised and a dream day! Islam’s team are truly sensational. We started our day sailing to orange bay, the crew supported us with our entry to the island and a seat right at the front of the beach. It was extremely relaxing and we felt we were well looked after. After making our way back to the boat we stopped and did some snorkelling. All equipment was provided. Again the crew were outstanding taking underwater videos and guiding us around the amazing sea life. They even took some food for the fish so they came up really close. Next we had dinner with amazing choices from fresh fish to chicken. So much choice, we didn’t go hungry! Really tasty food also. Finally we finished our day at paradise island which was really fun. Again the crew made sure we were looked after. You can not go wrong with this trip, it’s a must if you come to Egypt and I certainly will be back with more of my friends on my next visit. Islam is quick at replying to any questions you may have via WhatsApp when the booking is confirmed and to support you throughout your trip. He organised transfers from hotel, island fees, food costs making the trip completely stress free.
