Boats in Egypt, the good, the bad and the plain ugly ...

Boats have always been a fascinating prospect, sitting on your luxury yacht sipping tea while it glides smoothly on the water.

The truth however is nowhere near that, owning a boat is a nightmare that only the true enthusiast and the people who are willing to spend can afford to own one.

If you are new to boating or a boating enthusiast its a myst that you get an idea of the truth and fiction about boats.

To own a boat is to learn a LOT about boats !
If you choose to go out at sea with out having a clue you are putting yourself and every one with you at risk.
All is fine and dandy until something happens and in that situation there is no time for regret.

I have seen many disasters, including boats sinking, catching fire and get damaged mostly because of owners with no clue on boats or boats that are not even sea worthy.

Boats are risky, when things go wrong you have no where to go and thus its your life on the line. It's amazing how people in Egypt choose to ignore all that and just go on a boat (either owned or a friends) the result is usually a nice trip until something wrong happens.

My aim is to start a serious of posts that will at least shed some light on the problems we face in Egypt in the boat industry.
