A private speedboat is one price for the whole hull, not a price per head. Up to eight guests, about four hours, and nobody on board you did not arrive with. It reaches the same islands as the big boats in roughly thirty five minutes instead of ninety.
Quick answer
Quick answer: a private speedboat is worth it from about four guests up, because the whole-boat price splits across your group while a shared trip charges each of you separately.

Orange Bay for white sand and a shallow lagoon, Dolphin House for wild bottlenose dolphins on the reef at Shaab El Erg, Magawish for a quieter island with an optional barbecue, and Hula Hula for the fastest run to a sandbar. All four carry the same eight seats and the same four hour window.
Booking a shared seat costs us nothing to hold, so it confirms the moment you submit. Booking a private speedboat takes the whole hull off the schedule for that slot, so we check it with the marina first and confirm by message. A deposit is what lets us hold it, and the balance is paid on the day.
Yes. The price is for the boat, not for the seats, so two guests and eight guests pay the same and nobody else joins either way. Two people simply pay more per head than a group of eight does.
