“The sailboat ride off of Marbella was great and the captain definitely made it that way! It was a 2 hr sailboat ride and viewing dolphins and the captain went out of his way to connect teeth his captain colleagues to track the dolphins. After the first hour, we changed direction and had a real treat seeing the dolphins for about half hour. Awesome experience . Also a nice size of other passengers and we had drinks and some snacks which was a lovely touch. So glad we went on this adventure today. Learned a bit from the captain too, 👍. Highly recommend.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 98 reviews · 2 hours

Review of Marbella’s private sailing charter, with swimming, paddle boarding, snacks, drinks, dolphin spotting, and a skipper for up to 10.

“We had an absolutely fantastic time on the yacht! From the moment we stepped on board, everything was really well organised and relaxed. Sven, our skipper, was brilliant. So easy-going, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. You could tell he really knew what he was doing, but he also had a great sense of humour, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. The boat itself was beautiful and spacious, with plenty of room to sit back, soak up the sun, and take in the stunning views. Drinks and snacks were provided. It was just a really memorable way to spend a few hours.”
