Explore the blue waters and diverse coral reefs in the Red Sea with Blue Bird Charter! Captain Karim is a jigging and popping specialist who will take your Egyptian vacation to the next level. If you’re a passionate angler looking for an action-packed day this is the one for you!

You’ll head out abroad Capt. Karim’s 35’ locally made center console. She’s perfectly suited for 4 anglers who all want to fish at the same time and is powered by twin 250 HP Yamaha v6 engines. A private onboard toilet ensures you’ll be comfortable without having to make any stops. Adventure seekers can even opt to spend the night on board in sleeping bags provided by the crew.

The Red Sea is home to over 200 fish species but most anglers come for the Yellowfin Tuna. From January to June these delicious fish will have your rods bent constantly! There’s also plenty of Mahi Mahi, Swordfish and Sailfish to keep things exciting.

Be sure to take advantage of the snorkeling equipment provided on board, too. There are enough masks and fins for everyone to take a dive into the Red Sea and swim with the diverse marine life that calls these waters home.

You’ll also have top-notch fishing gear at your disposal for a $75 rental fee, per set. Capt. Karim is happy to clean and fillet your catch (up to 10 kg) and there’s even an onboard grill you can use to prepare it! Sandwiches will be provided for breakfast and salad and a light lunch are served in the afternoon. There’s also fresh juice, water, coffee, and tea so you don’t need to worry about a thing.

Hop aboard and explore the beauty of the Red Sea with Blue Bird Charters!

Tuna trip half day

Awesome trip with Captain Kareem!

VERIFIED

Kareem was relaxed, kind, attentive and had great fishing enthusiasm! We went out for my uncles birthday with my Dad - who isn't the most mobile anymore but Kareem and Ahmed made sure he was safe and comfortable on the trip. We had some great catches and all had a go at reeling them in - 100% worth the jelly arms! Kareem had all the gear and more, fish finder, roomy but well equipped boat - including bathroom complete with flowers - and was obviously determined that we had a great day. The guys took loads of extra photos and videos for us of the action while cheering us on to land our catches. Straight off the boat we went to Kareems' friends' restaurant in downtown Hurghada who filleted and cooked our skipjack to perfection. An experience over and above what we expected - thanks Blue Bird Charters. We won't hesitate to fish with you again on our next visit!
