Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Nice 3-hour sailing experience with enough time to relax on the boat.
    Alberto seemed to be an experienced sailor, sailed us safely from the coast of Puerto Banus towards Malaga on open waters. We recevceid snacks (crisps, fruit) and drinks (soft drinks, vine, beer) on the sailing boat and enjoyed great wind conditions. If you get sea-sick easily it is recommended to take some anti-vomit medicine in advance. But even in that case Alberto is prepared with sick bags.
    Although we didn't see any dolphins it was a worthy sailing experience on a clean, nice sailing boat, even with a toilet inside.

    Great experience for all.
    Really great morning, saw lots of dolphins and had a great trip. They gave us some information on the dolphins we saw, took our pictures and stopped for swimming before the end of the trip.

    Great price for a beautiful morning, highly recommended.

    Well worth it!
    Fabulous and relaxing trip. Very experienced captain. Dolphins were busy he told us with a smile. You can't conjure up nature on demand but a beautiful early evening sail.

    We had a beautiful tour with Jorge, who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was very patient when teaching us and others how to kayak. He was super friendly and had near-perfect english. 10/10 would recommend.

    A relaxing experience.
    Relaxing. Safe. Wine and chips served. Appreciated having a small group aboard for peaceful ride. Some guests dove into the water for some fun once we anchored for 15 min. There was a paddle board available as well. Go early or stay afterward for high end shopping at the port.

    Lovely family memories
    We took our 12 & 13 year old and they were pleasantly surprised how much they enjoy it. It was a nice chilled evening. We were lucky enough to see a few dolphins in the distance. There was only 12 of us so plenty of room on the boat and very well organised. Would definitely recommend

    Couples day out
    My husband and I booked this tour while on holiday in Fuengirola. We went along and met the crew and other guests. I think there was about 10 guests all in.

    We were very lucky to have seen so many dolphins! Some came so close to the boat. And looking out to the horizon there were lots jumping out as far as we could see.

    The boat it’s self was lovely, everyone had their own spot while we watched the dolphins it wasn’t like we were all crowded so that was nice. We were offered soft & alcoholic drinks while on board and a little snack.

    After about an hour we were offered to swim in the sea. Most people took advantage of this and was the perfect end to the trip.

    We all got back on board and sailed in slowly to the marina. All in all a lovely day out crew were very nice and the trip was well planned out. Would recommend these guys and would book again. Being able so see such beautiful creatures in this natural environment is amazing !

    Great sailing trip
    We had a great time sailing with Robert. We asked Robert to show us the ropes and he was a great host and teacher.
    We're considering booking him again for a longer trip to Morocco.
