Hottuna Hurghada Fishing Charter
Hottuna Hurghada Fishing Charter welcomes you on a fun-packed fishing adventure in Egypt. Come discover its stunning nature as you enjoy a day of fishing with your family or friends. Captain Atef is waiting for you in Hurghada to take you on beautiful and equally fish-rich waters inshore as well as offshore. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to explore Egypt’s lavish marine world and make memories of a lifetime!
Your trip will take place on a restored and powerful 40’ saltwater fishing boat made in the USA. Running on twin 100 HP Yamaha outboards and rigged with modern navigation technology, it will quickly and safely take you to your fishing spots. A wide range of fishing equipment is available so you can have the best experience possible. The boat has got a flybridge, toilet, shower, and kitchen and features a TV, multimedia system, refrigerator, and an ice-box. There will also be a first mate on board.
You and the crew can apply many different techniques on both light and heavy tackle to attract your prey. Some of the many prized species you can expect to target include Goliath Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, Mako Shark, and Sailfish. You can keep the fish you catch but some of the species have to be released.
Captain Atef will take care of everything you need for a fantastic fishing experience. This includes all the equipment, catch cleaning, licenses, snacks, and drinks.
Pick your day and join Hottuna Hurghada Fishing Charter for an unforgettable day on the water!

Am 10.7.25 haben wir einen unvergesslichen Tag mit Atef und seiner Crew auf offener See verbracht!! Außer Bonito , Thunfisch, Stachelmarkele und Grouper in Mengen gab es noch leckeren frischen Kaffee! Die Chemie hat vom ersten Moment gestimmt. Super nette Menschen die auf See auch noch ein phantastisches Mittagessen machen, einfach klasse !! Es wurde sich bestens gekümmert. Uns hat das so gut gefallen, dass wir nach kurzem Schriftverkehr per WhatsApp mit Atef zwei Tage später zu Wiederholungstätern wurden! Einfach Klasse, vielen lieben Dank an Atef und Crew

Super Angeltag!
Ich war mit meiner Freundin einen ganzen Tag mit Atef und seiner Crew unterwegs. Aufgrund des Wetters konnten wir nicht die Hauptspots beangeln. Trotzdessen hat Atef für uns das beste Angelerlebnis herausgeholt. Wir durften dabei unterschiedlichste Angelmethoden ausprobieren und haben viele Fische fangen können. Unser Highlight war das Tiefseeangeln mit elektrischen Ruten auf Tintenfische. Des Weiteren wurde der frisch gefangene Fisch direkt Vorort zubereitet, was wirklich fantastisch war! Wir waren mehr als zufrieden und freuen uns bald wiederzukommen! Danke an Atef und seine Crew für diesen tollen Tag!

Great day at sea
After being picked up at our hotel by Artef the captain we arrived safely to the boat. We set sail and started trolling straight away and had our first take but we lost the fish. We continued trolling and had another take that resulted in a small dorado. This was then cooked for lunch and was very nice. We then did some jigging and caught a variety of reef fish to use as bait. A bit more trolling and then it was time to catch some calamari. We were set up with electric reels and fished in 750M of water and caught large squid up to around 7 kg. Again the skipper cooked the calamari for us to eat. We had a great day and would not hesitate to go again when in Egypt.

Full Day trip with captain Atef
Während unseres Urlaubs in Hurghada buchte ich 2 Tage Fischen mit Atef für mich und meine frau. Wir haben per Trolling, Deep Drop und Jigging geangelt. Dabei haben wir reichlich Squids und Rifffische geangelt. Während des Deep Drop bekamen wir Besuch von einem Delphin, der es auf unseren Fang abgesehen hatte. Er hat ein großes Stück aus unserem Tintenfisch herausgebissen. Auf der Rückreise an tag 1 haben wir zwei SkipJack Thunfische gefangen. Am zweiten Tag sind wir vor einem großen Riff vor anker gegangen, leider hatten wir unsere Schnorchelausrüstung nicht dabei. An beiden Tagen hat die Crew ein leckeres Mittagessen für uns **hidden content** gab außerdem gekühlte Soft Getränke und Melone. Grüße aus Mitteldeutschland, Ronny und Frau - During our vacation in Hurghada, I booked two days of fishing with Atef for me and my wife. We did trolling, deep dropping, and jigging. We caught plenty of squid and reef fish. During the deep dropping, we were visited by a dolphin who was after our catch. It took a large bite out of our squid. On the return trip on day 1, we caught two Skipjack tuna. On the second day, we anchored in front of a large reef; unfortunately, we didn't have our snorkeling gear with us. On both days, the crew prepared a delicious lunch for us. We also served cooled soft drinks and melon. Greetings from Central Germany, Ronny and wife

Hot fishing on Hottuna
My wife, brother-in-law, nephew and I had the great pleasure to be guests of captain Atef and his cool crew at the end of April. The trip started at 8 o'clock from Makadi Bay with no wind and 30 degrees already. On the way to the first spot, captain Atef explained the plan for the day and prepared the rods. After about half an hour we arrived at spot #1 and we did some jigging in about 20-30m of depth. Luckily the wind picked up a little and we could do 2-3 drifts, on which we each caught our first fish (coral trout, grouper, snappers). But due to the hot temperature and lots of jellyfish captain Atef wasn't really happy with the catch so on to the next spot. Spot #2 was at about 80m of depth and we did some deep jigging. But heavy lures (200-250g) and the rising heat (38 degrees) already took it's toll on us Middle European freshwater anglers, so we kept this stop rather short to have our previously caught fish for lunch (very tasty!) and a snorkeling break to cool off a bit. Due to our "unlucky" first stops captain Atef asked us if we would like to try some deep sea fishing for squid with electric reels. We happily accepted and off to spot #3 we went. In the middle of nowhere we stopped and Atef and his crew prepared the squid lures. It was so amazing - the lures went down (which took forever) and at a depth of about 650m we hooked some squid out of nowhere. Reeling them up took even longer, maybe 15-20 minutes - quite an eternity for perch anglers 😉. We caught 5 squid in total - what an experience, so cool! On the way back to the pier we did some trolling and hooked a skipjack tuna for a perfect ending of a hot day on Hottuna on the Red Sea. Thank you captain Atef and crew! You really took good care of us and introduced us to new world of fishing. Hope to go fishing with you again in the future!
