TL;DR
Private yacht sea trips for small adult-only groups are available in Marsa Alam — usually arranged through hotel excursion desks or local travel agents, since not every hotel area has good reef access nearby.
There is a positive report about buying a yacht excursion from a local beach vendor: the trip went smoothly and the travelers were satisfied. The sellers wore shirts marked Red Sea; before paying, confirm the route, what is included, and cancellation/refund terms.
A traveler staying at the Sunrise Anjum hotel was looking for contacts to arrange a private yacht sea trip for a small adults-only group — these aren't always part of the standard hotel excursion list, so it's worth asking separately.
The request for a private, kid-free yacht trip was repeated twice, suggesting standard group boat excursions in Marsa Alam tend to be crowded and family-oriented, so travelers wanting a quieter trip need to find a separate organizer or private captain.
One traveler noted that the underwater scenery near their accommodation wasn't impressive — if good reef snorkeling matters, it's worth confirming in advance whether the boat trip actually stops at reef zones rather than just cruising the open sea.
