Catamaran sailing

It was a very pleasant experience, the swim in the sea and the friendliness of Almudena, the captain, and Juan. Would do it again

Unforgettable experience.

Just an unforgettable experience, I can only recommend it. It was incredible from A to Z, the 7:30 PM time slot was perfect. Sunset, magnificent, no swimming, just incredible, everything was perfect and the guides were adorable.

Don’t waste your money!

A complete waste of money. No fishing, no paddling and no dolphins seen. The captain was more worried about getting back to her next “private tour” than making sure the experience was enjoyable for the passengers. If I could give it zero stars I would.

Operator response

Hi Ariel! Thank you for your feedback. It's unfortunate to hear that it wasn't up to your expectations. Our captain is highly appreciated in all our reviews for being attentive and caring and fun with the guests and adaptes the route according to what the general guests want. There might be a misunderstanding because that day we had group tours all day, not private, and luckly, the sea conditions were also perfect. We're sorry you didn't see dolphins. As they are wild animals, sightings cannot be always guaranteed, it really is a matter of luck. On many of our tours we've seen dolphins, whales, turtles, tuna etc. We want to spot them every time!! During the 2 hour excursions, we aim to go far enough offshore to maximize the chances of spotting dolphins while also offering a swim stop when time allows. If the general desire of the group is to keep looking for dolphins, then the swimming time is shorter and probably wasn't enough time for paddle boards. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry this experience wasn't the right fit. Maybe next time book a private tour and we can adapt to your requierements.

False advertisement.

It was advertised as dolphin watching and then didn’t even try they took the boat in a big circle and no paddle boards, snorkelling just a quick 10 minute swim in the sea.

Operator response

Hi Amelia! We appreciate any type of feedback, although it is not fair to say it's a false advertisment. We create these tours with all our love for the sea for others to enjoy the present moment and appreciate the sea. Nature never guarantees dolphins. They are wild animals in a large sea. They can appear at any time and many times we had been lucky to see from common dolphins, to babies, to bottlenose and even whales playing in front of the catamaran. You can check out instagram all the times we have encountered these beautiful animals! In 2 hours we plan the itinerary according to the conditions and what the guests want to do as well. That day you had perfect sea conditions. The sea was flat and calm, which you were very lucky. If we dedicate the full 2 hours to look for dolphins then the swimming time is shorter. Next time, if you want to make sure you encounter dolphins you can hire a private tour for a full day and fully dedicate to searching dolphins. We look forward to seing you on board again. Best, Royal Catamaran team

Very nice trip, if just a little short. The views along the coast were awesome. No dolphin sighting this trip, but not a dealbreaker by any means. Great crew onboard!
