Hi Tristan,
Sounds like an adventurous trip!
TBH, I think you will have a hard time finding a hard time finding a ride on a private yacht to either of those destinations.
According to noonsite.org
Egypt is difficult and expensive to clear into paperwork-wise. The main port of arrival would be Port Said. There is a yacht club, Port Fouad Yacht Club, there that you could contact and see if there are any locals making the trip from
Europe back to
Greece. This is a super long shot, though.
Israel is not much better to sail to.
Even if there is a yacht making this
passage, chances are they would not want to take an inexperienced person along for the ride because that person get seasick or cause other problems for the
skipper. It's just not worth it, unless you bring something great to the table like being a fabulous cook while leaning 20 degrees in a cramped
galley while sailing through waves.
And private yachts can't take paying passengers because they would need to be licensed for charters, although sharing the cost of provisions is okay. Also, charters usually cannot pick up a person in one country and drop them in another. A
skipper who would be will to transport you for a fee is pretty sketchy and I would beware of putting my life in the hands of someone like that.
However, if you want to look for a ride you could also try looking on findacrew.net.
Another option might be to look for a cargo ship that accepts passengers. There are various booking agencies that can help you with this. But this option may be more expensive than a flight. Another option would be a
ferry to
Morocco from
Italy or
Spain. You could get a ferry from Greece to
Italy and then another to
Morocco and travel down the
west coast of
Africa. Check out RometoRio.com for travel options.
Finally, when are you hoping to go? Right now we are headed into
winter and that means more storms, so it is not safe for small vessels and even ferries will cancel trips for bad
weather.
I'm not trying to rain on your parade and I hope you figure something out, I just wanted to give you a realistic picture of the challenges with this idea. Good luck!
