    Full Day Trip on Reefer Boat on September 17, 2023 • 3 adults

    these guys are pros, you can rent good gear, they know the places and try to do everything to ensure that you catch fish. Of the minuses - a boat without a toilet, not suitable for a family vacation, it seems to me that this is specifically for those who know where they are going (fishing), for casting, the boat is suitable for a maximum of two people, for jigging there were three of us and it was fine (not super comfortable, but ok) we fished for 4 days, there was quite a strong wind, on one of the days the wind was too strong, but these fishermen still went fishing with us (even though everyone understood that it would be almost impossible to catch fish in such conditions) for them There is no such thing as bad weather for fishing, it is both good and not so good, since you need to understand and decide about the wind yourself. in any case, it was a memorable trip, a lot of emotions and adrenaline, I have never had to fish in strong waves. on 2 of the four days we caught fish (one day we fished for about 6 hours, the other days for 11) the team is very nice and positive, which makes fishing even more enjoyable. I recommend it, but check the wind!;)

    Light Tackle Tuna on a high level

    11 Hour Trip on Carla Boat on March 21, 2023

    The trip to Egypt was sort of ad hoc, the one day of fishing was so even more. Both turned into a brilliant time! Communication with Kareem was flawless, service from the pick-up at the hotel to the drop-off as well. Fishing? Well, I would like to say something that would keep you away - but that would be unfair ;) It was an incredible amount of fun to have YF on the top within 20 min at the first stop and have an almost immediate hookup. Landed the first one, fouled a few strikes, lost one after a good fight, - played with more than a handfull Skippies through the day. Perfect over all - what else could you want?! Highly recommendable!!! Quoting Arnold " I will be back" Nick www.70grad-nord.de

    2 day trip

    Full Day Trip on Reefer Boat on March 20, 2023

    Fished with Captain Kareem 2 days on the beautiful red sea. My wife and I have chartered boats all over the globe and this area is perfect not only for seasoned fisherman but someone who would like to try it for the first time. You don't have to go miles and miles out into the middle of the sea to catch fish like other places we've visited. They are right near the shore just minutes from the marina which makes for not only more fishing time but makes the trip for someone who's a little scared of being out on the big water feel more comfortable. Captain Kareem has top line gear and equipment. Will bring enough snacks, soda, and water to feed an army. Captain Kareem and his deck hand Shazly are not only great anglers but even better people and we enjoyed our time on the water immensely.

    Best fishing trip ever!!!!

    Full Day Trip on Reefer Boat on February 10, 2023

    First Yellowfin hook-up after 3 Minutes! Second Yellowfin 10 minutes after first in boat! We lost quite a few that were just too big)). It was like watching a top artist work in how they were able to bring the fish to the boat! Disguising the hook, Switching bates and chum based on the type of schools near. Perfection! We can't wait to come back for some different species. Kareem fantastic entertainment, but it is not a one man show. Shandaweily and Captain Ramy are also fantastic. On the last day of our three day trip, we experienced strong winds and big swells. The "sea hunt" was so solid on the water it was a joy to experience. A bit tricky for the fishing, but what great boat. I suggest to use their fishing gear as well as it is top quality! To top off the trip, We got excellent support to help us freeze and take home some of the fish which makes the best Sashimi ever. They worked very long days (I am guessing 15-16 hours) to help us. They simply go over the top to give clients a fantastic fishing experience! I have been fishing my whole life, and there is nothing more to say than THANK YOU! My son has not stopped talking about the trip and asking to go back immediately. Thumbs up!! Derek

    Week trip with Kareem

    7 Days Trip on Reefer Boat on February 27, 2022

    I have had an amazing fish trip with one of the best captain and his crew that I know! For me it was the first fishing trip in the tropical waters, so a lot of new ways of fishing and different techniques. Karim made sure that he explained everything we needed when we went out, what kind of baits usually work there and which one you should always bring to make it work. He explained the techniques thoroughly and gave some good tips. He told me on one of the first days to reel in my stickbait differently from what I was doing, he was right! Once I did that I caught my first GT and it was a monster. It was the biggest of the trip and I will always remember this fish, especially because at that moment I had a double hook up with my mate Alek. Kareem uses a lot of different spots to fish so finding the fish is never a problem. He takes wishes for fish to catch in account but will also tell you if a different kind of fishing is better for that day. This could be because of the weather circumstances for instance. The nice thing of fishing at Hurghada is the fact you can (almost) always go out to sea. With the islands around there is always a calm spot for windy days. Besides the fact Kareem is a really good fisher he is also really friendly and makes sure that the trip goes as planned. Kareem thank you for this amazing week and because it was so good we decided to go back within the month for another 3-day fishing trip. This trip was also organized perfectly by Kareem. The next trip hasn’t been planned yet but that won’t be for long! These trips were unforgettable, thanks a lot for the good times! We will be back soon!

    Fishing with Kareem

    5 Days Trip on Reefer Boat on February 13, 2022

    Simply THE BEST sport fishing guide there is out there. I have fished my entire life, caught some amazing fish and met some great anglers. But Kareem is on a completey different level. This guy knows the Red Sea like his own house. Just tell him what you’re dream fish are, and he will do anything in is power to make sure you will catch that fish. Not only one of the best fisherman, but also the best company you can have. I just came back from a fishing trip with Reefer, and I want to go back so bad that I’m already planning my next trip, still need that Bohar Snapper that got away last time Kareem😉 11 out of 10 that I recommend this Sportfishing charter to any fishermen and women out there. If you decided to go here, tell Kareem I said Hi🙋🏼‍♂️ Cheers and Tight lines👊🏼

    A few days with the prime captain of the Red Sea

    5 Days Trip on Reefer Boat on January 11, 2022

    Captain Kareem knows the area like his backpocket, he can provide the best gear and tips which lead to the fact that our non-fisherman friend even caught some really nice fish (tuna, trevally, rusty jobfish) if you’re an experienced fisherman like me, captain Kareem will also treat you as so. He will discuss plans and it feels more like fishing with a buddy than a guide. Even though he will provide you with the best tips and knowledge. The best thing about captain Kareem might be the fact that you as his customer can switch up the type of fishing at any time at your wish as wel as the fact that his days are in fact a full day instead of a few hours. Add this to the short drive to the best spots of the Red Sea and fishing time is maximized. Species bonanza recommended to anyone interested in fishing!
