Your Week at Sataya Reef
For one week, life slows down
The sea becomes your home. The horizon becomes your view. And time begins to feel different — no need to rush, no complicated schedules, no pressure to do more.
Every trip is slightly different, because dolphins, weather, and nature always lead the experience. That is part of the magic.
Day 01
Arrival in Egypt
Your adventure begins at either Marsa Alam or Hurghada Airport. Our team welcomes you and arranges your transfer to the marina.
At the yacht, you settle into your cabin, meet the other guests, and enjoy your first evening onboard. A delicious dinner awaits, followed by a short welcome briefing.
Tonight the yacht stays in the marina while everyone settles in. Tomorrow, the real adventure begins.
Welcome aboard
Day 02
Setting sail for Sataya
The morning starts slowly. Breakfast is served while the crew prepares for departure. As the yacht leaves the coast behind, excitement begins to build.
The colours of the Red Sea grow more intense with every mile — deep blue water stretching endlessly around you.
By the time we reach Sataya, you understand why so many people fall in love with this place. After a snorkeling and safety briefing, the week truly begins — and your first dolphin encounter may happen today.

Days 03 – 06
Life at Dolphin Reef
These are the days everyone dreams about — when you fully settle into the rhythm of life at sea. Most mornings begin with calm water, beautiful light, and the chance to swim with dolphins before breakfast.
No two days are ever the same. Some days the dolphins are playful and active; some days they move peacefully through the lagoon. Nothing feels rushed — you are free to join in or simply enjoy the moment in your own way.
Dolphin Reef
- Swimming with wild dolphins
- Snorkeling beautiful coral reefs

- Photography opportunities
- Stargazing
- Sunset gatherings

Life Between the Activities
The moments you never planned
Often, the most memorable moments are the ones nobody expected.
- Watching dolphins from the deck while drinking your morning coffee
- Sharing stories with new friends after dinner
- Laughing during a card game
- Watching the sunset in complete silence
- Falling asleep under the stars
The magic of Sataya is not only found in the water. It is found in these simple moments too.
Day 07
One last day in paradise
The final full day always arrives sooner than expected. After one last morning at Sataya, we slowly begin our return journey.
Many guests spend the day reflecting on the week, sharing photos, and exchanging contact details — enjoying every last moment at sea.
In the evening we often gather one final time, celebrating everything we've shared: the dolphins, the reef, the sea, and everything in between.
One last sunset
Day 08
Until next time
After breakfast, we say goodbye to the yacht and crew. Transfers are arranged back to Marsa Alam or Hurghada Airport according to your flight schedule.
You leave with much more than photographs — with memories, friendships, stories, and a feeling that stays with you long after you return home. For many guests, this is not a goodbye. It is simply the beginning of planning their next visit.
