Good questions, straight answers.
All trips depart from Puerto Banús, Pantalán 4, berth 339. We ask guests to arrive ten minutes before the scheduled time so we can cast off on the hour.
Dolphins are wild animals, so we can never guarantee them. That said, most of our trips do find them — we sail out past the harbour to the stretch of coast where the local pods feed.
Two to two and a half hours depending on the season, from €65 per person. Drinks and snacks are included on board.
Skipper, fuel, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, snacks, snorkel gear and paddle boards. Nothing else to pay on board.
Yes, families are very welcome. Children of all ages sail with us, and life jackets in children's sizes are on every boat.
Clothes for the season, sunscreen and a towel if you plan to swim. If you are prone to seasickness, take a pill about thirty minutes before departure.
Two things can happen. If we cancel a departure because of sea or weather conditions, we offer to reschedule and refund in full if rescheduling isn't possible. If you need to cancel, the rules depend on the trip: shared trips are free to cancel up to 24 hours before departure; private charters use a sliding scale (more than 1 month: no charge; 1 month–15 days: 20%; 15–7 days: 50%; less than 7 days or no-show: 100%). Full details in our Booking Terms.
Book online for instant confirmation, or message us on WhatsApp in English or Spanish if you would rather ask first.
Shared trips are €60–65 per person and you share the boat with other guests. A private charter is the whole boat for your group, from €495.
On summer dolphin trips we stop for a swim and bring out the paddle boards. In cooler months the swim stop is optional.
Sunset sails run daily on our sailing yachts. The catamaran has one departure a day, which we save for groups who book it together.
Yes. All of our skippers speak English and Spanish, and a few speak French too.
The sea is better under sail.
Book online, or message us and we'll sort the rest.
