About this tour

Glide across the Mediterranean from Benalmádena aboard a spacious catamaran built for comfort, chasing dolphin sightings whilst your skipper reads the waters. This two-hour voyage departs multiple times daily from Puerto Marina, accommodating up to 12 guests in an intimate group setting. Weather permitting, you'll raise canvas, dip into crystalline shallows for a swim or snorkel, and return landlocked with salty hair and fresh perspective.

Highlights

  • Hunt for wild dolphins and marine life with experienced skipper
  • Sail under canvas if conditions allow, listening to the sea
  • Complimentary champagne, snacks and onboard Wi-Fi included
  • Optional swims, snorkelling and paddleboard time during voyage
  • Streamlined boarding via direct platform access—no queuing
  • Lagoon 410 catamaran offers stability and ample deck space
  • Multiple daily departures (morning, afternoon, early evening slots)

What to expect

Expect a relaxed Mediterranean afternoon rather than a rigid itinerary. You'll board directly onto the catamaran and settle as the skipper navigates coastal waters, scanning for dolphins and other wildlife. Sightings aren't guaranteed—these animals roam freely—but each trip brings different encounters and moods. If wind and swell cooperate, you'll feel the boat heel under full sail; otherwise, the motor hums gently. Midway through, the crew offers refreshments topside. Depending on conditions and your group's appetite, the skipper may cut the engines for a proper swim, snorkel session, or paddleboard session in shallow turquoise patches.

Good to know

Bring your own towel and waterproof bag for valuables. The catamaran suits all fitness levels and welcomes prams, pushchairs and service animals. Infants must sit on a lap. Public transport reaches the port; hotel pickups aren't included. Champagne and nibbles are complimentary; full meals are not.
