We had an amazing boat trip. The captain and crew were so nice and helping. The boat was spacious and had a huge sun screen. We saw a lot of dolphins.

Boat Trip

Rupert_P, Jun 2026

Our boat trip was legendary! The ladies who accompanied us were incredibly friendly and laid-back. We were a group of 10 guys and got a catamaran – it was fantastic! We could connect our phones to play music, and drinks and snacks were included. We even stopped for a swim, which was great. We'd love to do it again! Kind regards Rupert

Highlight of our trip

Lisa_N, May 2025

We were so excited for this boat ride and it did not disappoint. The boat was lovely and comfortable, and it was so nice to get out on the water for a few hours. The captan was great and they really did everything to make it enjoyable. The fact that it’s private is even better. And the pick up point right at Puerto Marina was perfect.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience on the boat ride. It's fantastic to know that you found the boat comfortable and enjoyed being out on the water. We're especially glad the captain helped make the trip enjoyable — we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. The private setting and convenient Puerto Marina pickup are definitely perks we're proud of, and we're happy they added to your experience. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon! 🚤😊

Very fun!

Katie_H, Oct 2024

Great and fun tour! Lovely crew driving the boat! Was provided crisps and offered sangria, beer, wine or soft drinks and had one refil. Boat stopped to allow us to jump in

Wonderful trip for the family

JASON_D, Jun 2024

This trip is well worth the cost! The hosts are excellent. They had drinks and snacks ready for us and were very flexible in meeting our requests. We cruised around while enjoying the views and hearing some local history and looking for dolphins. We saw a flying fish near the boat. We asked to fish and swim for a while instead of dolphin searching they quickly obliged and we caught several mackeral for the frying pan (delicious!). No fishing license required, as they hold a boat license that covers all passengers. Highly recommended, thanks again Helena!

Amazing boat trip

Emil_F, Aug 2023

Amazing trip, the hosts was friendly and we had a good time. A clear winner if you like a boat experience beyond the expected.

Cancelled due to weather

Cameron_T, Aug 2023

Our trip was canceled due to weather so I can’t really rate it a one because we never went. They canceled 24 hours ahead and gave us other options but we could not. I will change rating when I receive the money back. Thank you

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hello guys, I am very sorry if we disappointed you canceling the trip but actually we canceled the trip 24 hours before in order to help you and do you a favor letting you now and don't have to come until the port of Benalmadena for nothing. The state of the sea it was really bad, even dangerous to go out with the boat. We love to go out with the boat with the people and make them feel happy, have fun and also safe. That day it was imposible to achieve all of that. No worries, the payment you did it will be entirely refunded to you.

Peter & Helena are amazing!

MICHAEL_P, Jun 2023

Peter & Helena are amazing. They wanted to make sure that my family had a good time. They listened to what we said and then gave us information to decide what trip to take. Dolphins surrounded us and were everywhere. It was one of the coolest things my family has ever seen. On a side note - both of them speak English very well. I was wondering how it would as my Spanish is not good, but they are both fluent in Spanish and English. I will definitely book them again. They are wonderful.

Magnificent!

Olivier_H, May 2026

A very pleasant crew attentive to the clients, a comfortable and perfectly suited boat. The bonus of sailing with dolphins! A beautiful experience that I recommend!
