TL;DR
Travelers report seeing dolphins in Sharm El Sheikh on yacht trips and through private paid dolphin experiences. One recent report says a dolphin regularly appears around 5:00-6:30 pm, with a lifeguard calling it using a whistle.
A swim-with-dolphins excursion for kids can be booked through your hotel/agency (example: via Albatross), costing about $65 per 10 minutes per person. You're brought to the dolphinarium roughly an hour before the show, given a briefing, and can negotiate with the instructor for extra time (e.g. up to 20 minutes).
The most recent tip is that a dolphin reportedly appears regularly between about 5:00 pm and 6:30 pm. A lifeguard on site calls it with a special whistle, so it is worth arriving a bit early.
Another option is a yacht trip: travelers say they spotted dolphins while out at sea. To improve your chances, choose a boat trip with open viewing areas and keep your phone or camera ready.
If you want more than just a sighting, travelers recommend a private dolphin experience. According to one report, the session lasts about 30 minutes and is a dedicated paid activity rather than a chance encounter at sea.
