What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Egypt

Embarking on a sailing adventure with Yachting.Rent in Argentina, but can’t decide between a sailing boat and a catamaran? Let’s delve into the unique features of each, to help you choose the perfect vessel for your Argentine voyage.

Sailing Boat : The traditional sailing boat is a popular choice for many of our clients due to its sleek design and superior handling. It’s perfect for navigating through Argentina’s diverse waterways, from bustling harbors to quiet, secluded inlets. These vessels offer a balance of comfort and performance, making them ideal for both short day trips and extended sea voyages. They are also particularly suited for keen sailors who enjoy a more hands-on sailing experience.

Catamaran : Catamarans are loved for their stability, spaciousness, and speed. With two hulls, catamarans are exceptionally stable, making them a popular choice for families or those new to sailing. They offer ample space, including larger living areas, and often more luxurious amenities. Catamarans also tend to have shallow drafts, allowing them to venture where other boats cannot, perfect for exploring Argentina’s hidden beach coves and smaller inlets.

At Yachting.Rent, we offer both sailing boats and catamarans in a variety of sizes and styles to suit your personal preference, group size, and the nature of your journey. No matter what vessel you choose, our team is here to ensure you have an unforgettable sailing experience in Argentina’s incredible waters.

The harbours in Egypt

Many of our boat rentals come with the option of departing from Hurghada Port, which is a great option for you, your family, and friends to consider. The port is located on the western coast of the Red Sea, near the Gulf of Suez entrance and has become popular due to the variety of attractions on offer. Next to the port, you will find a multitude of shops, restaurants, bars and bazaars, as well as a magnificent aquarium where you can discover plenty of new and exciting fauna. This port is also the perfect place for divers, as beautiful coral reefs lay just nearby.

If you are looking to cruise serenely down the Nile, definitely look into the Port of Luxor. The port is on the East Bank of the Nile and is a fantastic place to admire beautiful temples and explore ancient valleys.

What is there to see in Egypt?

Although Egypt is probably best-known for the multitude of awe-inspiring landmarks, like the pyramids and the Sphynx, there is also so much to do on the water:

• Go scuba diving or snorkelling in Soma Bay. Soma Bay is home to beautiful, healthy reefs that you can either explore by yourself or visit with the help of a guide. Catch a glimpse of the breath-taking fauna, such as seahorses, turtles, and even some reef sharks.

• Relax on some of Egypt’s gorgeous beaches. Some of our favourites are El Gouna , Ras Um Sid and Nuweiba.

• Swim with the dolphins! A bucket-list item for many, Egypt is a wonderful place for you to get up close and personal with these marvellous creatures. This wonderful opportunity is available at several locations around Egypt, so make sure not to miss out.

• Dive even deeper into the depths of the Red Sea with a submarine tour. Experience panoramic views of the sea floor and gasp as you drift by shoals of fish and stunning coral reefs.

Rent a boat with a skipper in Egypt

Many of our yacht rentals in Egypt come with the option of hiring a skipper and/or crew. Whilst this may come at an extra cost, there is no doubt that this will make your experience even more enjoyable. If you rent a skipper, they will most definitely know the area very well, and so this is a fantastic opportunity for you to discover secret beaches or lesser-known attractions that are situated on the bank of the Nile. A skipper can also adapt the sailing route to best fit the desires of you, your family and friends.

If you decide that you want to have a skipper on your boat in Egypt, your experience will definitely become more relaxed. The skipper will take care of the sailing, as well as the docking and anchoring, which means that you can sit back-worry free and soak in the beauty of your surroundings as you cruise along on your yacht rental in Egypt.

Idf orders new evacuations in gaza after overnight raids kill 36.

The Israel Defense Forces on Saturday ordered Palestinians to evacuate areas of central Gaza following overnight raids on Hamas strongholds in the region, the second time they’ve been forced to move in the past week.

The new orders impact Palestinians living in the Alma’azi refugee camp area in the center of the Gaza Strip and those in areas of eastern Deir al-Balah.

All were told to evacuate to humanitarian zones.

The IDF airstrikes killed at least 36 people, but it was unclear if specific Hamas leaders were targeted.

The fresh evacuations, signaling impending airstrikes, came as the United Nations claimed 90 percent of the 2.3 million people who call Gaza home have been displaced by successive evacuation orders in the ongoing war against the terror group that began Oct. 7.

The IDF confirmed it lost three soldiers, including two who died in clashes in Gaza City Friday.

The third soldier was killed by Hamas operatives, according to the IDF.

The new evacuation orders came as a Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo, where it is hoped stalled ceasefire talks will resume.

Separately, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman C.Q. Brown landed in Jordan Saturday for an unannounced visit, where he will reportedly meet with officials to discuss ways to avoid any new escalation in tensions that could spiral into a broader conflict.

With fears of retaliation from Iran growing, Brown is also expected to visit Israel and Egypt to meet with their military leaders.

Meanwhile, former Oct. 7 hostages and relatives of captives remaining in Gaza implored Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to sign an agreement to free their loved ones.

Netanyahu, confronted at a meeting Friday, said there is no deal on the table to sign.

In leaked audio from the meeting, one of the hostage’s daughters told Netanyahu, “You can be remembered as the one who led the country to a better place or as the one who wreaked havoc here. You are the prime minister and you are responsible for the abductees, not Hamas and not anyone else. You are supposed to reach a deal that will bring all the abductees.”

Tributes paid to Mike Lynch and daughter Hannah after bodies found

Tributes have been paid to 18-year-old Hannah Lynch, after divers recovered what is believed to be her body in the wreckage of a luxury yacht which sank off Sicily.

Hannah was the last person unaccounted for after the luxury yacht Bayesian sank during a freak storm off the Italian fishing village of Porticello, east of Palermo, claiming seven lives in total.

Friends have described her as a "warm and beautiful soul", while teachers praised her "sky-high intellectual ability".

The body of her father, tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, was recovered from the shipwreck earlier this week.

• Yacht crew 'would have had no warning about storm'
• Bayesian sinking: The key questions for investigators
• 'UK's greatest tech entrepreneur' - tributes paid to Mike Lynch

The family released a picture of the two on Friday.

In a statement a spokesperson said: "The Lynch family is devastated, in shock and is being comforted and supported by family and friends."

"Their thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragedy. They would like to sincerely thank the Italian coastguard, emergency services and all those who helped in the rescue."

"Their one request now is that their privacy be respected at this time of unspeakable grief.”

"Mike was the most brilliant mind and caring person I have ever known," a close friend, Andrew Kanter, said. "His passion for life, knowledge and all those around him was instantly inspiring to everyone he met, and he will be sorely missed."

The Italian Coast Guard released a statement saying the rescue operations have come to an end with the recovery of Hannah Lynch, adding that a total of seven people were confirmed dead.

The survivors include a one-year-old child and Hannah’s mother, Angela Bacares.

Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy Bloomer, a charity trustee, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo, his wife Neda Morvillo and the boat's chef Recaldo Thomas all died in the disaster.

Italian authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances around Monday's incident.

In cases like this one, it is common for officials to embark on a broad investigation - known as a 'crime hypothesis' - that considers a series of possible criminal charges.

Approached by BBC News, the Italian police confirmed an investigation was ongoing but no charges have yet been brought.

Rescuers described the search operation, which started on Monday, as "complex", with divers limited to 12-minute underwater shifts .

After reports emerged that the final body had been found, a coastguard vessel which had been at the site of the shipwreck for hours could be seen back in the port.

Meanwhile, a helicopter landed nearby as divers took off their orange suits on the quayside.

A decision on whether to raise the sunken yacht from the seabed is "not on the agenda" but will be in the future, a spokesperson from the Italian Coastguard has said.

The ship was "practically intact" on the seabed, according to divers on the search and rescue team.

On Friday morning a flag outside Hannah Lynch's school in Hammersmith in west London was being flown at half mast to mark her death.

She had recently finished her A-levels and had been offered a place to study English at the University of Oxford, according to the Times.

"We are all incredibly shocked by the news," a spokesperson for Latymer Upper School said.

"Our thoughts are with their family and everyone involved," they added.

Gracie Lea, a classmate of Hannah, described her as "easy to love: sincere, dedicated, fiercely intelligent and genuinely kind. I’ll always remember her smiling".

Middle East latest: Israel issues new evacuation orders in Gaza

We're pausing our coverage of the crisis in the Middle East.

Here are the main developments today:

• Israel and Hezbollah have reportedly exchanged messages aimed at preventing further escalation after both sides traded heavy fire on Sunday;
• The exchanges came after weeks of tensions following the killing of a top Hezbollah commander in Lebanon last month;
• Our international correspondent Alex Rossi said while another dangerous moment appears to be passing, the Middle East remains at great peril of a devastating wider conflict;
• You can watch military analyst Sean Bell assess the situation between Hezbollah and Israel below.

• The group has been attacking ships in solidarity with Palestinians amid the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza;
• Israel has today issued new evacuation orders in Gaza as its 10-month military campaign there continues;
• The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says 40,435 Palestinians have now been killed since 7 October , with 93,534 injured.

That's all for now.

Some 40,435 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's military offensive in Gaza since 7 October, the Hamas-run health ministry has announced.

It added that 93,534 have been injured during that time.

The ministry does not differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count.

Seven Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military strikes today, medics have told the Reuters news agency.

Two were killed in Deir Al-Balah, where around a million people are sheltering and where Israel has issued an evacuation order.

Two more were killed at a school near the Al-Nuseirat camp and three in the southern city of Rafah, near the border with Egypt.

More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza, which does not differentiate between civilians and fighters in its count.

Israel has issued new evacuation orders for Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, forcing more families to flee the area.

Israel has issued several evacuation orders across Gaza in recent days - the most since the beginning of the 10-month war - saying its forces intended to act against Hamas and other groups in the areas.

The Deir Al-Balah municipality said Israel's evacuation orders have so far displaced 250,000 people.

The orders forced many families and patients to leave Al-Aqsa Hospital, the main medical facility in Deir Al-Balah, where hundreds of thousands of people have taken shelter.

Family displaced 11 times

One woman said she and her children had been displaced 11 times.

Sawasn Abu Afesh told Reuters she has "no money for transportation" and would have to make the journey on foot, while three of her children had been left behind.

"No idea where," she said.

Israel was unable to anticipate the time and place of Hezbollah's "limited and managed attack," showing it has "lost its deterrent power", Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani has claimed.

Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets and drones at Israel early on Sunday, while Israel's military said it struck Lebanon with around 100 jets to ward off a greater attack.

Iran praised and congratulated Hezbollah's "unique response against several vital and strategic targets" in Israel, Mr Kanaani said.

"Hezbollah's decisive response proved that the enemy's crimes do not go unanswered."

Mr Kanaani said Israel was unable to predict "the time and place" of attacks against it despite "the comprehensive support of its supporters, including the US".

Yesterday the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launched an attack on Israel in retaliation for the killing of one of its commanders in Beirut - with Israel pre-empting the move with its own airstrikes.

The attacks from both sides followed the death of top Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr, who was killed in a strike in Beirut's southern suburbs in July.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously described Shukr as "one of the most wanted terrorists in the world".

Its army said Hezbollah had been planning to launch a heavy barrage of rockets and missiles towards Israel - as the Iranian-backed group, which is designated a terrorist organisation by several countries including the UK, had promised to retaliate.

Flights to and from Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport were temporarily suspended on Sunday after the attacks broke out, but have since resumed.

So what is Hezbollah and will it play a role in the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Middle East?

An oil tanker has been on fire since Friday after it was attacked by Yemen's Houthis, the EU Red Sea naval mission Aspides has said.

Fire and smoke could be seen coming from the Greek-flagged Sounion's main deck in photos published by the EU mission.

The Houthis, who are aligned with Iran, attacked the oil tanker in the Red Sea last week.

The group has been attacking ships in solidarity with Palestinians amid the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

Fires were observed on at least five locations on the main deck of the vessel and part of the superstructure is on fire too, Aspides said.

"So far there are no obvious signs of an oil spill," it added.

Satellite image captured by the European Space Agency’s Copernicus Satellite 2 showed smoke rising from the vessel at sea.

Aspides has warned the oil tanker, which is carrying 150,000 tonnes of crude oil, may pose an environmental hazard.

By Alex Rossi , international correspondent

Another dangerous moment appears to be passing in this disastrous conflict, but great peril remains for Israel, Lebanon and the wider region.

Israel's pre-emptive strike and Hezbollah's retaliatory attack for the assassination of their top commander in late July risked plunging both sides into all-out war.

That nightmare scenario appears to be fading for now, but all the dynamics for a much bigger conflict remain.

Effectively the stand-off - with each side sending messages with bombs and rockets - continues.

Watch: How Israeli and Hezbollah strikes unfolded

A dangerous spiral

The Israelis and Hezbollah are signalling that they do not seek a wider war but the risk of accident and miscalculation remains.

Both sides are also under pressure to do more, which could also lead to a dangerous spiral.

There are people behind Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah who are urging a more forceful response to Israel's continued assault on Gaza.

And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has very loud voices in his ear telling him to launch a major operation against the Lebanese militant group to force it back from the border and allow tens of thousands of Israelis to return home.

Great danger so long as Gaza war continues

The problem is that violence often ends up having its own logic and can take actors in directions they may not foresee.

It may not be in Israel or Hezbollah's interest to fight a major war, but it may happen anyway.

And the consequences would be disastrous, with significant damage and casualties on both sides.

The key to dialling down the tensions would be a ceasefire in Gaza, but for the moment that seems to be out of reach, meaning great danger lies ahead.

Polio vaccines for more than a million people have been delivered to Gaza, Israel's military has said.

Five lorries with special refrigeration equipment for vaccine storage were brought into Gaza on Friday and the jabs arrived on Sunday, a statement by the Israeli military body responsible for Palestinian civilian affairs said.

It said vaccinations will be conducted by international and local medical teams at "various locations", in coordination with Israel's military as part of "routine humanitarian pauses" to allow people to reach health centres.

It comes after the first confirmed case of the disease in the territory in a quarter of a century, with other cases suspected after the virus was detected in wastewater in six different locations in July.

Aid groups have plans to vaccinate more than 600,000 children under 10 and have called for an urgent pause in fighting. The UN has aimed to bring 1.6 million doses of polio vaccine into Gaza.

What is polio?

Polio is a highly contagious infection that is transmitted mainly through contact with contaminated waste, water, or food. 

It can cause difficulty breathing and irreversible paralysis, usually in the legs. It strikes young children in particular and can sometimes be fatal.

Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians live in crowded tent camps, where they lack clean water or proper disposal for sewage and rubbish - with families sometimes using wastewater to drink or clean dishes.

Israel and Hezbollah traded their most intense fire for months in the early hours of Sunday before pulling back hours later, with both sides saying they wanted to avoid further escalation.

Hezbollah claimed to hit an Israeli military intelligence site near Tel Aviv in a barrage of hundreds of rockets and drones. 

Israel claimed its attacks in southern Lebanon had been pre-emptive to avert a larger assault by Hezbollah.
