TL;DR
Sharm el-Sheikh's Old Town (Old Market) is good for sightseeing, shopping and fresh seafood; alternatively book a yacht trip with swimming/diving and a seafood lunch, but if booking through Pegas confirm the meal is included, or you may end up watching others eat.
If booking a boat trip through Pegas tour operator, confirm in advance whether lunch is included — some tours were sold without food, leaving travelers to watch others eat on the same yacht.
