Holiday highlight
A fantastic couple of hours on the sea. The boat is lovely and the crew are friendly. We were offered drinks as we left the port- cava, juice or fizzy. We quickly found a pod of dolphins who swam around our boat inquisitively, providing magical views. We then went swimming off the boat, which was really fun. The 2 hours flew by and we enjoyed another drink as we headed back to the port.

What an experience!
What a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours on a comfortable boat with an absolutely fantastic crew. They were kind, caring, and somehow seemed to have a direct line to the dolphins’ social calendar.
We have a great time sailing around sipping cava as the crew patiently tracked them down.
The trip didn’t ever feel rushed, we even had time for stop off and a swim.
When we finally found the dolphins, it was pure magic. The captain creating waves for the dolphins to play in.
A perfect mix of relaxation, laughs, and unforgettable wildlife spotting. We loved every minute of it and will definitely be booking again. Five stars from us.
If you get chance to go on a boat trip, go on this one!
Operator response
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We are absolutely thrilled to read about your experience with us. Our crew always strives to make every trip special, and we are glad you felt that care and dedication. It seems our "direct line" to the dolphins worked perfectly that day! We love seeing them play and surf in the wake of the boat just as much as our guests do.
We are delighted that you enjoyed the cava, the relaxing swim, and the unhurried pace of the trip. Thank you for recommending us so highly to future travelers. We cannot wait to welcome you back on board for another magical day out on the water!

The best experience of my life with the best people in Spain!
Amazing, it was the coolest experience I've ever had. Besides the views, the owners are the friendliest people I've ever met! They offered me cava and took a lot of pictures. He has taught us by boat inside, stories with big fish in the sea! Something worth more than once in your life! Thank you for having such a great heart!
