Bayoud boat trips — flat water with your friends.

A full-day trip to El Gouna's emptiest flat water: you ride out on your own gear, and our Zodiac rescue boat anchors at Bayoud with your friends — basic rescue, fresh water, fruit and sandwiches on board. You ride glassy turquoise around the boat, far from the crowded main spot.

Typical conditions: 15–25 kt N–NW typical · gusting to 28 kt · water level varies with tide
  • Rescue boat with you all day
  • Water, fruit & food on board
  • Advanced riders — kite, wing, parawing, foil
  • Book ahead at reception

The offshore day, chapter by chapter

The boat anchors. The whole day starts moving around it.

Bayoud is not a boat ride and not a beginner excursion. It is a full day for independent riders, built around one fixed Zodiac and two kilometres of open-water commitment.

Arrange the day

01 Before anyone leaves shore

The first decision is whether the day should happen at all.

Tell reception or WhatsApp your dates, group and disciplines. We check the conditions and availability, then confirm the Zodiac, crew and price for that specific day.

Bayoud is arranged individually, not sold as a fixed ticket or a trip that runs regardless of the weather.

02 Morning · beach to Bayoud

The empty water starts with a 2–3 km commitment.

You ride from the Kitepower beach to Bayoud on your own kite, wing, parawing or foil while the Zodiac heads out separately. Confident upwind riding, equipment control and self-rescue are prerequisites.

The boat is basic rescue cover and a rest base on the spot. It is not a taxi for riders or equipment.

03 At Bayoud · Zodiac on anchor

The boat stops. Your session opens around it.

The Zodiac anchors at Bayoud with drinking water, fruit and sandwiches. It becomes the group's visual reference, rest stop and basic rescue base while riders circle the surrounding flats.

Boat support reduces risk but does not make offshore riding risk-free or replace independent judgement. Other riders from our beach may also ride around the anchored boat.

04 Open water · advanced riders

Less traffic. More room for the line you came to ride.

The reward is glassy turquoise water away from the main teaching zone. Kite, wing, parawing and kite-foil riders can share the day when their independence, pace and the conditions fit.

It is a supported riding day, not a lesson and not a private promise of completely empty water.

05 Lunch · second session · ride home

One offshore session becomes a full-day rhythm.

Because the Zodiac is arranged for the day, you can ride back to Kitepower for lunch at SALT, rest out of the midday sun and return for an afternoon session when the plan and conditions still fit.

You finish the way you began: riding your own gear back to the beach. The crew confirms the day's sequence with the group before departure.

Who it's for

Advanced riders who've earned the empty water.

Bayoud is for independent, advanced riders — you ride upwind confidently, handle your own gear, and want quality water instead of a crowded spot.

Kitesurfers

Empty flat water and clean wind — boost, learn tricks, or mow the lawn with nobody upwind. Kitesurfing here →

Wingfoilers

Glassy flats and steady wind — pure glide, zero chop. Wingfoiling here →

Parawing riders

Empty water and reserved boat support for extending parawing range — with the same real risks and live condition checks. Parawing →

Kite hydrofoilers

Mirror-flat water makes the foil honest — carve until your legs give up. Kite hydrofoil →

Not there yet?

We'll get you to Bayoud level.

If you're not riding independently yet, the lagoon in front of our base is the fastest place to change that — and the goal can literally be this trip.

Booking a Bayoud trip

Arranged in advance — we sort the boat.

Bayoud trips always run by prior arrangement: talk to our reception or message us with your date and what you ride. We schedule the Zodiac rescue boat and crew and stock the refreshments — and because the boat sits on anchor for the day, it's not a fixed private charter: your friends ride together, and other kiters from our beach can join around it. We arrange each Bayoud day, and its price, with you directly.

Bayoud trips from El Gouna — the facts

  • Bayoud is a glassy, turquoise flat-water riding area roughly 2–3 km off the Kitepower El Gouna beach, ridden with boat support because it can't be reached from shore.
  • Kitepower El Gouna runs full-day Bayoud trips with its own Zodiac rescue boat: the boat is booked for the entire day, anchors on the spot, and the group rides around it.
  • Riders reach Bayoud on their own gear (about 2–3 km of riding); the Zodiac provides rescue cover and basic refreshments only — it is not a transport boat.
  • Every Bayoud trip includes basic rescue cover plus fresh drinking water, fruit and sandwiches on board.
  • Bayoud trips are for advanced riders only — kitesurfing, wingfoiling, parawing and kite hydrofoil — who want beautiful, empty flat water away from the crowded main spot.
  • Because the boat is chartered for the whole day, riders can return to the Kitepower base for lunch at SALT and ride a second Bayoud session in the afternoon.
  • A Bayoud day is arranged individually at the Kitepower reception (or WhatsApp) rather than sold as a fixed ticket: friends can ride together, and because the Zodiac sits on anchor, other kiters from the beach can also join and ride around it. Price is arranged per day.

Bayoud boat trips — your questions

What is Bayoud?

Bayoud is a stretch of glassy, turquoise flat water about 2–3 km off the Kitepower beach in El Gouna — the kind of empty, butter-flat riding you normally only see in kite movies. It's not reachable on foot, which is exactly why it never gets the main-spot crowd: you ride it with boat support.

How does a Bayoud trip work?

You book the day in advance at our reception, and we arrange our Zodiac rescue boat for the day. In the morning you ride out to Bayoud on your own gear while the Zodiac heads out and anchors on the spot; you ride around it with basic rescue cover, fresh water, fruit and sandwiches on board. Because the boat is booked for the whole day, you can ride back to the base for lunch and go out for a second session in the afternoon.

How do I get to Bayoud?

Riding, on your own gear — Bayoud is about 2–3 km from our beach, and the crossing is part of why the trip is advanced-only. The Zodiac doesn't ferry riders or equipment; it's anchored on the spot as your rescue cover and refreshment base.

Who is a Bayoud trip for?

Advanced, independent riders — kitesurfers, wingfoilers, parawing riders and kite hydrofoilers who ride confidently upwind and want clean, empty water with their friends, away from the busy main spot. It's not for beginners or students: if you're still learning, our lagoon and lessons are the right place.

Is it safe to ride 2–3 km offshore?

That's the whole point of the format: our Zodiac rescue boat is anchored on the spot with you for the entire session, with basic rescue included. You're never riding open water alone — the boat is your fixed reference point and your rest stop, and if you need a rescue, it's already on site.

What's on the boat?

Basic rescue cover, fresh drinking water, fresh fruit and sandwiches. The Zodiac is a rescue and refreshment base, not a transport boat — you ride out and back on your own gear. Full meals wait back at SALT, our beach restaurant, and the day format is built so you can ride the morning, eat lunch at the base and go back out after.

Can we mix sports on the same trip?

Yes — kitesurfing, wingfoil, parawing and kite hydrofoil all work at Bayoud, and one boat covers everyone riding around it. Bring the friends you want to ride with; and because the Zodiac is on anchor, other kiters from our beach can come out and ride around it too.

Do I have to book the whole boat or come as a group?

No. You can arrange a Bayoud day with your friends, but it isn't a fixed private charter — because the Zodiac sits on anchor at the spot, other kiters from our beach can come out and ride around it too. That's why we arrange each Bayoud day individually at reception rather than selling a fixed ticket: talk to us (+20 128 888 2047) and we'll sort out the day and the price.

Do I need my own gear?

Own gear or rental both work. Our rental fleet covers wings, foils and kite-foil setups — tell us what you need when you book the trip and we'll have it ready on the day.

How do I book a Bayoud trip?

Always in advance, at our reception or on WhatsApp (+20 128 888 2047). Tell us your date, who's riding and what you ride — we'll arrange the Zodiac rescue boat, the crew and the on-board refreshments, and confirm the day and the price with you.

How much does it cost?

It isn't a fixed ticket — the Zodiac sits on anchor at the spot for the whole day, and we arrange each Bayoud day individually, so the price depends on your day. Message us or ask at reception and we'll quote it for your date before you commit.
