Nice Way to Spend a Couple of Hours

We decided to take the ferry to Fuengirola. We went on a Tuesday as that is the day of the large street market in Fuengirola. The ferry takes approximately an hour one way. We booked a return trip as it isn't much more than one way. (Could have taken the train back.) It was a nice trip and you see the whole coastline along the way. The staff was very good. You can get refreshments on board. There are plenty of seats inside and outside. It was a nice way to get from one town to the other. Just relax and enjoy the views.

It’s a YES for me, but take the train or a bus back

I really enjoyed being out on the water. It’s a scenic ride. The staff on the boat was really great. I thought it was a little expensive and I had trouble finding the boat as the lady in the ticket booth was not able to give me clear directions.

A lovely way to return to Fuengirola from Benalmadéna.

Really nice, small ferry. Super clean. Loved the polished wooden tables. There were only 7 of us onboard, so it felt like a private hire.

Very poor customer experience

Very poor customer experience, my booking was'nt registered with the tour operator, so I had to.purchase my own ticket and I'm still waiting for a refund.

Operator response

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced. It seems there was an issue with the external agency you tried to book with. Whenever a booking doesn't automatically appear in our system, our ticket office relies on the customer's confirmation email to solve it. Because no confirmation email was generated on your end, our team had no proof of purchase to allow you on board and had to charge for a new ticket. We highly recommend contacting the customer service of the website where you attempted to book, as they are the only ones who can process the refund for that failed booking attempt.

SUPERB CROSSING

We were delighted with the crossing, quiet, the staff is very welcoming, he inquired with the passengers if everything went well, we could see a dolphin, the comfortable catamaran, the large and clean toilet. We will also tour the dolphins soon. I recommend.

Operator response

Merci beaucoup pour ce superbe avis ! Nous sommes ravis que notre équipage et le confort de notre nouveau catamaran, le New Magic, aient rendu votre traversée si agréable. Voir un dauphin sur cette ligne est un beau bonus ! Nous avons hâte de vous revoir très bientôt pour notre excursion dédiée aux dauphins. À très vite !
