Wind Seekers

About

The Wind Seekers is a kitesurfing safari operator based on Egypt's Red Sea, running week-long, live-aboard kite trips out of Hurghada to the islands of the northern Red Sea. Founded and run by Moustafa Abbas, the operation is built around a simple idea: live on a yacht for the week, wake up anchored at a new spot, and spend the days kiting flat, turquoise lagoons that are hard to reach any other way. Their core offering is a scheduled 8-day, 7-night kite safari that runs Saturday to Saturday for a small group. The operator caps it at 22 riders per week. Days follow a steady rhythm: sunrise sessions, a long midday session, and a sunset session, with Zodiac boats shuttling riders between the yacht and the islands and a rescue boat on the water at all times. The Wind Seekers promotes their weekly trips aboard the Katana, a 50-metre yacht with 13 cabins. The trips are open to every level. Beginners can book a course with their IKO-certified instructors. Intermediate riders get their level assessed and coaching from there. Advanced riders can book lessons in big air, loops, freestyle, directional, and foiling. The Wind Seekers also invites professional riders onto their cruises to share tips throughout the week, and they partner with dive operator Into The Blue for diving, from first dives to full courses. Alongside the weekly safaris, The Wind Seekers hosts KiteFest, a larger week-long event that has now run for four editions. KiteFest spreads riders across 3 yachts and adds gear demos from kite brands, 1-on-1 coaching clinics with pro riders, and island and boat parties with guest DJs. They also run fully private, all-inclusive kite safaris for groups and corporate events, with the route and on-board details built around the group. Non-kiters are welcome on every trip. Snorkelling, swimming with dolphins, yoga, beach volleyball, and beach barbecues fill the days when the wind drops or when kiting isn't the goal.
