Down to earth and personable. We chartered the Catamaran for the breakfast cruise due to a birthday on the 12.09.2021 and it was excellent.Our skipper was great. We were also lucky with the weather. Breakfast was lovely cava totally great. 2 stand-up paddle board we could use. We had brought our own snorkelling gear (because of Covid). The marine is stunning, the Catamaran was perfect for what we had planned. And I will do this again, for sure. Very, very recommended.

Water sports in a safe bay incl. sailboarding, kayaking, diving and snorkelling. Lovely buffet food.

Altogether a good quality, well-run cruise, with good food and plentiful drinks. Great day out, would definitely return.

We booked the 4 hour lunch cruise on the catamaran on line and today we had a fabulous time. We had perfect weather and also had so much fun with the other people on board. Dan and JJ were excellent hosts and I would thoroughly recommend this trip. We swam, went on the kayak and paddle board, had a lovely lunch and plenty to drink. Will definitely be back with a group of friends. A great afternoon on the water. Thank you.

Wow, what a day!. If you are in this area do yourselves a favour and have a great day out with a fantastic crew and beautiful boat. Right from the start Dan and JJ were brilliant, drinks on arrival after safety brief. For the next 4 hours those guys went out of their way to ensure we had the best day of our holiday.. Great value for money, great crew, great boat.. What more do you need?.. Throw in some dolphins and amazing food together with a stop and snorkling/ SUP boarding!! A brilliant day and one we will definately do again

Hired the Rodman 38 mid September and had a great time. Dan & JJ were the perfect hosts for a fun packed afternoon.

We had an amazing experience on lunchtime cruise, we saw dolphins, jellyfish, went snorkelling, paddle boarding and kayaking and all of it was 10/10. There was plenty of food and even more drink it couldn’t have been better! Well worth the money, thankyou very much for a perfect day :)

Mucho mejor de las expectativas que podías tener. El capitán y Tom consiguieron cuatro horas de calidad de vacaciones sintiéndote libre y disfrutando de la suerte que tenemos en Andalucía. Se repetirá porque cuando algo gusta hay que repetir. Gracias. Capitán recuerda que todo lo que vimos durante esas 4 horas era mío 😂😂😂😂😂😂

We had such a fun day and the crew were amazing and really hospitable. We chartered the Catamaran for a birthday treat for 6 of us, including two children for a four hour afternoon sail. Everyone was catered for with a very good lunch and drinks. Both adults and the children had so much fun, especially with the Kayak and Paddle Boards that were aboard. Great communication from the time of booking. We will definitely be coming back for a sunset cruise.

Fabulous day out , great experience with good food, great hosts and an attempt at paddle boarding , definitely recommend this private charter

Une croisiere entre amis tres sympathique, un équipage tres agréable et au petit soin, tout juste ce dont on avait besoin.. le paddle, canoe top, on a beaucoup rit.... 4 heures fabuleuses

Great outing with friends. Crew were friendly and gave us some local history/information as we sailed along the coast.

La excursión estuvo muy bien, coincidimos con gente muy maja, el trato de la tripulación muy correcto, pudimos hacer snorkel, subir a las tablas de padelsurf, kayak y por supuesto tirarte desde el barco. Merece la pena y desde aquí un saludo a los sevillanos

Fue todo perfecto! El trato de Mike y Tom, el paseo en el catamarán, las instrucciones previas y durante el viaje, la suerte de una buena compañía con otra gente. Comida buena y fresca preparada por Tom. Pudimos disfrutar de conocer en catamarán de la preciosa costa de La Herradura.

Sunset cruise was superb with delicious food and wine. Something for everyone. Thanks to Mike and Tom for a great evening for our family

The driver collected us, managed to get lost, 20 minutes too far and didn’t have his own 4G relied on us to give him directions. When we got to the marina he had words with the man on the gate ended up leaving the bus at the gate and we walked day. (Mortified!) When we got down to the boat instead of getting us on straight away the drive was given out to by mike (owner) in front of the 6 of us. Got on the bota and it was fab.. overbooked by a few people so was tight on space. Food was fab! Water toys were great crack. Amazing memorable day minus the hickups along the way

Fantastic Day 🌊 Gorgeous Catamaran 🛥 Delicious Food & Wines 🍹 🌞 We enjoyed Snorkelling, Paddle boarding, Playing in the canoe & SWimming 🏊🏻‍♀️ Just idyllic 😍

We had a great afternoon cruise with Mike and his crew member Salva last Saturday. The buffet lunch was excellent as we celebrated our daughter's 13th birthday on board. Highly recommend these guys!

Everything was perfect and the crew is perfect. They are very nice. But don t take money with you on board.

Abszolút minden tekintetben javasolt program kedves, barátságos legénységgel ( Mike, Salvatore) remek ebéddel amit Salvatore készített el. Professionalis attitűd, remélem egy sunset cruise-ra meg be tudok nevezni!

Nous avions réservé une sortie de 4h00 en catamaran. Après un briefing sur les règles de sécurité, l’accueil est agrémenté par du champagne ( à volonté). Nous avons ensuite navigué à la voile vers une zone protégée, magnifique, où nous avons pu faire du canoë, paddle et snorkeling (nous avions nos masques). L’eau était cristalline, on a pu voir de nombreux poissons. Juste après, nous avons profité d’un excellent buffet, frais et copieux avec de l’excellent vin (toujours à volonté). Le coucher de soleil s’est ensuite offert à nous … juste splendide. Le timing est parfaitement géré grâce à Dan et Julian, toujours aux petits soins et supers sympathiques. Ils s’occupent de tout, un vrai bonheur. Cette sortie a été merveilleuse, tout était parfait. Les avis très positifs que j’avais lus sont vraiment mérités. Tout ce qui est écrit dans le descriptif de cette excursion est respecté. Nous avons adoré, allez y sans aucune hésitation … Merci encore Dan et Julian !!!

We had a great day on the boat. The crew was super friendly and did their very best to make sure that we had a great day. This is a super nice day cruise that I can recommend every one. We will for sure come back. Anders with family

We had a fabulous time on the Lagoon 380. We had a private charter for 6 of us and it was great. The boat was spacious, the crew were welcoming and fun, the food was really good and we all had[ fun swimming off the boat. Highly recommended - we will come again!

Mike the owner is a very experienced sailor and entertains the kids !! food is nice and the views from the catamaran are super!!

Absolutely fantastic. It was my partners birthday and 8 of us went out with captain Paul and chief JJ. Amazing hosts, with an onboard cooked buffet meal which was lovely. Our glasses never even looked like they would empty as JJ was on top of everything 😎 We anchored up and all went in using the paddle boards & canoes supplied, along with any snorkeling equipment you required. An amazing day had by all. Thanks to Mike the owner for organising and a special thanks to Paul & JJ for making Claire’s birthday a memory we will never forget. We will see you all again soon.

A Fabulous trip on a beautiful day and the breeze so soothing. Crew were excellent and the Catamaran spotless The food was very good.This is my 4th trip on there and I am never disappointed . Highly recommend and will certainly book again.

Éramos un grupo de chicas que pasamos un día inolvidable. La reserva con Mike fue fácil y todo claro. Tuvimos el Catamaran solo para nosotras. Bebidas y comida incluida. Nos trataron muy bien y facilitando nuestra diversión. Ojalá repitamos

We did the 4 hour catamaran cruise and it was absolutely brilliant. The crew were really friendly, laid on a great spread for lunch and took the time to explain some of the local history as we were sailing. And then on the way back we came across a load of dolphins who swam right up to the boat. Definitely recommend this trip, we'll be doing it again next time we're in the area.

Yo he repetido este año. Como siempre, ha sido muy plácido el paseo. Tanto como el Capitan como el Tripulante, muy atentos y profesionales. Todo momento atendiéndonos sin que nos falte nada. 100% recomendable.

A very good service from the first minute to the last. The luck we had to see dolphins was an extra bonus.

Perfect trip with a team wonderful ! Do not hesitate to ordered with this team. It will be tour better holidays expérience.

A fantastic afternoon out at sea with a really knowledgeable Captain and First Mate! The drinks and food were aplenty, the views amazing (including a bit of dolphin spotting) and the water beautiful. The boat was extremely clean throughout and the perfect size for the 6 of us.

Four five times I have been out with the catamaran, each time it was amazing. Last week we had another beautiful day, lots of fun, lovely snorkelling stop-over, and bottlenose dolphins joining the boat for some minutes on the way back. Thank you also to the two-man crew, took great care of us.

Second time on ”London”, with Mike and his crew. Really enjoyable time and cruz experience. The team on board made us feel like home. We did a private cruz mid-day! See you soon again! Swedes

Amazing boat trip with the team! Friendly staff. Reasonable priced drinks onboard. Kids loved jumping in the sea from the boat. Would highly recommend

Great afternoon cruising the coast with plenty of fizz, anchored for a swim, paddle board and then a lovely lunch, together with several glasses of wine from Mike and Lucys’ vineyard. Highly recommended.

Lovely sail! Mike and Lucy were great hosts. We had a very nice lunch topped with some tasty wine from Mike’s vineyard. Our 3 hour sail passed too quickly, time really does fly when having fun! Will definitely come again.

We took our 80year old inlaws o the boat. It wasnt busy so was great for them. The staff were most attentive as my mother in law is a little unstable on her legs. It was so nice and relaxing. Will definitely book to go again during the summer when were back over. Gutted the dolphins didnt want yo come and play but saw a seagull on a surfboard!!!🤣🤣🤣

We've invited our clients for a lunch on this boat. Very nice and big boat. Good lunch and perfect service. Would love to do it again.

Seven friends enjoying some Bubbles and Beer, no better way to spend three hours sailing the Costa del Sol enjoying the October sun. We had the delight of a double skipper cruise with Mike and Dan who were very courteous and made us very welcome. We set sail after a very thorough safety briefing, looked for the dolphins but they were obviously having a siesta! We anchored to enjoy a swim in the sea whilst lunch was prepared, which was delicious and plentiful. Then lazed as we sailed back to the marina. A wonderful afternoon had by all. The only downside was... not booking the whole day. Maybe next time. Thanks Mike and crew for making our cruise special. See you again soon.

Großartiger Ausflug mit dem Optimist of London. Tolle Beratung vor Ort. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Getränke standen ausreichend kostenlos zur Verfügung. Die Begrüssung war ein Sektempfang mit frischem Obst. Zur Pause gab es ein sehr leckeres Buffet. Beim Stop konnte man schwimmen, das SUP oder einen Kajak probieren. Zusätzlich hatten wir noch einen kleinen Ausflug mit den Schlauchboot in eine Höhle unter den Felsen. Sehe zu empfehlen. Einfach nur TOP 👍

Both Dan and angelo were great hosts on this fantastic boat. There were nine of us and the catamaran was more than suitable. The vast amount of entertainment, along with lovely food and drink made for a perfect afternoon.

What a fantastic afternoon we all had aboard the Charlie Ruggle on Friday 13th September. The crew were amazing, safety procedures spot on and the food/drinks plentiful! Phil the saxophone player that was organised through the company was brilliant (will do a separate review for him!) The icing on the cake were the dolphins that came up alongside the boat - so many of them. It was amazing and a perfect way to end a perfect afternoon. Will definitely recommend !

Dan and Angelo made it a very special afternoon of sailing aboard The Optimist I. From the moment we boarded and had cava and olives to disembarking it was interesting, relaxing and delightful. We had a gorgeous lunch. They had even prepared gluten-free pasta for me. Seeing the coast from the water was beautiful.

2 hours out on the calm sea in bright sunshine with a quick stop for snorkelling. Such a treat, an onboard bar, plenty of space to sit/lie in the sunshine. We were scouring the blue for signs of dolphins but weren't lucky this time. We'll be back for sure! Super value for money.

My friend and I had a fantastic breakfast cruise with crew members Angelo & JJ. We were lucky enough to have dolphins join us at the beginning, swimming alongside the boat. It was a great surprise and lovely seeing them all so up close. The service and attention to detail was fantastic, a great way to spend a morning. Aside from the dolphins, we loved the donut ride, sparkling wine on arrival and a great selection of breakfast food. It's great value for money when you consider the length of time you're out on the boat and all the activities it has to offer. It's the second time my friend and I have been on the Optimist, the previous time was two years ago and I have a feeling we will almost definitely be back again - both times it has been the highlight of our trip to La Herradura :-).

Great time on the ocean, good food and wine, plenty of activities when we had a stop for lunch and snorkeling. We where 8 adults and 4 kids (age 6-11) Thank you angelo and dan!

Great trip, very nice staff! Thank you Dan and Angelo for making my fathers birthday a long living memory! The arrangement with swimming, snorkling and the dingy. We strongly recommend this activity!

Well organised with lots of water activities. Good food nicely presented and plentiful drinks. Really nice staff which helped make our trip special.

Fabulous afternoon with Paul and Valerie the crew, great hosts, great food, great weather 3rd time doing this trip and by far the best one 😊

We booked a 6 hour Catamaran Trip for a 50th Birthday. Special thanks to Harriet who made sure our glasses were always filled with bubbly :-). Nice food, catering to special requests (they loved the gambas!). Mike was very flexible and we were able to change the date last minute because of the weather. We ordered dolphins and Mike and his crew made sure we got them. Wonderful!

Une superbe soirée en mer sur un catamaran confortable où nous avons été accueillis avec le champagne et autres boissons pour les jeunes. Le capitaine Angelo et son collègue nous ont fait vivre une expérience formidable et ils n'ont pas ménagé leurs efforts pour permettre à tous s'amuser à plein. Ils ont été attentifs à nos besoins et particulièrement attentionnés avec les jeunes en leur permettant de les aider et de leur apprendre certains aspects de la navigation. Le repas et les boissons ont très bien complété la soirée. Une expérience inoubliable de nos vacances, merci !

We booked a 4 hour Catamaran trip and had the best time, Dolphins swam beside us and anchored for an hour or so and relaxed and swam. Crew were brilliant and very attentive, HIGHLY RECCOMEND....we will return next year and book again,

We booked to go on the 2 hour party boat trip and absolutely loved it! The cruise takes you along the coast line and then moors up so you can have a swim in the shallow waters. The whole experience was amazing. The staff on board the boat were great and keep everyone happy. I would 100% recommend this activity and will be going back to try some of the other great looking trips that they offer!

We've been coming to Spain for 5 years and every year one of our favourite trips has been revisiting our favourite catamaran for a 4 hour cruise around the coast near Almunecar and La Herradura. This year the extra time made it an even better trip. Dan and Di were a brilliant skipper and crew. We were very lucky with a calm sea and beautiful sunshine. The food has got even better and lunch was delicious. We had great fun kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming in the sea and our boys had a brilliant go being dragged around behind a speed boat on a donut! Thoroughly enjoyed the trip, it feels pricey but it's really worth every penny. Its always great meeting the other people who come along too. Already looking forward to next year!

Det er andre gang jeg har tatt denne nydelig turen og jeg er like fornøyd vær gang. Flink kaptein i Dan og mannskapet. Jeg hadde min 5 åring og 9 åring med og de elsket turen. Anbefales da det er muligens beste seilturen.

Went on a 4 hour Catemaran trip. The crew were very nice and helpful. Plenty of space on the boat and the buffet had a wide variety. It was a very beautiful and relaxing trip. We went along quite slowly and not very far (the beach in La Herradura), so probably not the optimal choice for dolphin spotting. We did however snorkle for a bit, and were able to see quite a few fish along the rocks in La Herradura. So do it for the service, food and relaxation.

We had a family day out for my daughter's 12th birthday. We went on the Optimist of London which was fantastic. We were really well looked after by JJ, skipper and Dan the captain who made a super crew. My children loved the activities; kayaking, paddle boarding and the donut. We all loved our trip and were thoroughly looked after. We can't wait to do it again. We highly recommend it..

This was a lovely 4-hour trip where we were looked after really well on the Optimist Catamaran by Ken and Di. Ken ensured that we chased a pod of wild dolphins for a good 45 minutes until they were almost close enough to touch, whilst Di supported Ken and filled up everybody's glasses and fed us alongside first mate duties. A lovely morning spent - highly recommended.

Goed verzorgd, en hele leuke trip gehad! Niets was de bemanning te veel en deden alles voor ons! Lekker ontbijt, goeie cava! En de kinderen vonden het geweldig!

fabulous day out on the ocean wave. staff fantastic and made you feel really welcome and looked after us so well, above and beyond. Lovely food and the activities were spot on

We went out on the morning trip with Angelo. The trip was a very intimate and quiet trip which is just what we were looking for. We sailed out over a very calm sea and Angelo and the lady with him were great hosts! I was talking to them both a lot of the way about past trips and what they have done before. When we got to it destination of the bay, we were given a nice breakfast and time to relax then it was time for a dip. Me my son and husband enjoyed snorkelling, Paddle boarding and my son had fun on the doughnut which Angelo took steady as he was only little so he could still enjoy the experience. Angelo was great with my son, teaching him some sailing knots and taking the time to speak to him. Overall a brilliant trip that I would definitely recommend. Thank you to all who made it great

We booked a trip on the Optremist Catamaran as a special treat for our daughter as it was her birthday during our summer holiday. The yacht was amazing and our hosts/skipper/crew of Ken & Di couldn’t have done anymore for us. They were both extremely friendly and welcoming looking after us with more than enough food/drink and activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, “donut” rides and trip out on the small boat for the kids. They were especially conscious of accommodating our eldest son who has ASD letting him “Skipper” the ship for a few minutes and the final touch was a lovely birthday cake for our daughter. We will definitely be back for more.

Magnifique après-midi sur ce catamaran. L'équipage est au top. L'accueil, le service, le buffet : tout était parfait. Le moment de détente proche des côtes a été très apprécié, snorkling, paddle, bouée, etc. Toute l'équipe a adoré, nous pouvons que conseillé. Merci pour ce bon moment...Famille Engler et Beaud

My family of 3 and I loved the cruise. The crew were friendly and accommodating,the views are beautiful and we loved having the swim and play at the end. It was a highlight of our holiday.

A great end to a holiday , includes a meal , in our case a breakfast. sailboards a donut and a kayak were available to use once the boat was anchored near a cove. Finally We saw dolphins. Nothing was to much trouble for the skipper Dan and all 6 of us had a great time

Our family of 5, including a 3, 6 and 8 year old, had an amazing day out on a Charlie Ruggle. The crew were great, the trip was enjoyable for all of us, and the views were spectacular. Everyone in the family said the experience was one of the best. Highly recommended.

Deuxième expérience et toujours aussi concluant. Accueil à la herradura par un équipage super sympa qui après le briefing nous offre le champagne ou tout autres boissons agrémentées de fruits frais et divers petits gâteaux et olives. Il faut savoir que tout es compris dans le prix avec boisson à volonté durant le voyage de 4h. Découverte des superbes paysages côtiers avec des explications du skipper. Pause dans une crique avec des offres de loisirs diversifiées toujours comprise dans le prix : paddle canoë de mer pour aller voir de plus près la côte rocheuse et les grottes, masques pour découvrir les fonds marins, bouée tractée par zodiac pour des sensations, baignade .. tout pour apprécier le cadre. Pendant ce temps l équipage prépare le repas. LA aussi, au choix divers plats et boissons offertes pour faire une petite pause. Après on savoure le coucher de soleil et possibilité de profiter une dernière fois des activités. Retour de nuit au port pour apprécier la beauté de la côte illuminée. Une expérience inoubliable avec la qualité des services et des prestations comprises dans le prix. Un équipage sympathique et toujours là pour répondre à vos désirs.

My family rented the “Charlie Ruggle” this week and thoroughly enjoyed it. We felt welcome, safe and entertained the entire trip. Our crew, Captain Daniel and Captain Angelo could not have been more helpful. They adapted immediately to having a young family on board. I have travelled along our tour route by road before so it was special to see it from the ocean for the first time. Food and drinks were delicious and my kids enjoyed the thrill of trying to stand up on a paddle board once anchored in a protected bay. We had a slight swell as we left Marina Del Este and the crew had been very informative about the conditions before we left and kept us updated as we went along. Saw several types of fish including a Sun Fish during the tour. All in all we really enjoyed it. A unique experience for us having holidayed in Spain for years.

7 of us booked this trip with captain and crew (sorry I can't remember their names).It was a lovely day. We were welcomed onboard with champagne and fruit and then later served a very nice lunch. It was really a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. I would highly recommend it!

This is really an unmissable thing to do and even all the great reviews can't do it justice. We went on the breakfast cruise and the crew, food and boat were all superb. So fortunate too to bump into four dolphins - watching them in the water is something I'll never forget. There was plenty of time for snorkelling and swimming and all 3 generations of my family had a wonderful time. I can't recommend this trip highly enough!

We, a party of 7, booked for the four hour afternoon cruise on the Catamaran yesterday as a birthday treat for our adult daughter. It was glorious. The crew, Paul and Val were fantastic, very engaging, on hand at all times to answer questions, chat and look after us like royalty. The food was excellent and plentiful even with plenty of starving people due to the energy expended by paddle boarding, banana boating, snorkelling etc. The Catamaran has plenty of space for the maximum number of people and there is always a shady spot to sit in as well as plenty of sunbathing spots. We were even lucky enough to spot dolphins whilst at anchorage. We have been out on the Catamaran several times now and always come away happy, tired and full up. The sun shone, the drink flowed and the dolphins jumped. A perfect Sunday afternoon.

Have done the sunset cruise many times before, and it continues to be a very memorable experience. As always you are always exceptionally well looked after and given many options to enjoy your sunset in terms of location or activities.

2nd visit and another fantastic trip. Dan and Begonia made us very welcome and our teenage girls loved the paddleboards, kayak and donut ride. We even had a special visit from a huge pod of dolphins - just magical.

Sailing from Marina Del Este, the day started with amazing scenery, bars restaurants and of course the boats! The crew were fantastic, made us all feel welcome and at ease, the local knowledge of the area was clear to see too. The food and drink were excellent too, we wanted for nothing, everything was ready and waiting for us. The icing on the cake was the live saxophone player, all of his songs were a great mix of current and classic feel good tunes, very well played and is a must for the trip. The boat itself was very well equipped, even had extras for further enjoyment, snorkeling masks etc and a paddle board. The captain had great fun bringing all the fish closer to the boat while we all swam. So many memories from such a great day, can’t recommend it all enough!

Very friendly for couples/families, beautifully smooth catamaran - not like some I've been on before! Safety a top priority - do not worry! Extremely informative updates about the coastline and sea. 40% chance of dolphins swimming under the boat - you see lots of sunfish basking and other sea life. Complimentary fizz, beers and soft drinks, and lovely catering inclusive. They provide kayaks and paddles boards, diving masks etc. Great stop at a reef for jumping in and swimming with fish. An investment you won't regret.

we had an amazing day. we've never been on such an amazing trip. The hosts were more than accomodating. Gorgeous fresh food & unlimited drinks. when stopping we had the option of paddle boarding, canoeing, and scuba diving thank you so much for an amazing day

We had a perfect morning with Angelo and Begonia. The kids were delighted they could steer the boat and we loved the snorkeling and Off course the DONUT , a super experience!! Thanks we will be back soon.

We went out with Ken and Diana on a morning trip for 4 hours, it was great! Would highly recommend! Ken and Diana were brilliant and the scenery was lovely. Also stopped and was able to snorkel, paddle board etc for an hour or so.

Had a great time. Good food. Plenty of drinks on board. Would recommend it. Many thanks to mike and the crew. Will be booking again soon.

En mycket trevlig tur på en stabil katamaran med trevlig besättning och god lunch ombord. Trevligt att se kusten från vattnet och få lite andra perspektiv. Ett stopp för bad från båten också naturligtvis.

great trip again. Good food and luckily saw loads of dolphins. We always enjoy our trip with Ken and Diane

Fabulous day out. Ken and Diana were great hosts - welcoming, knowledgeable, entertaining. Our kids loved riding the doughnut. If you are extremely lucky, which thankfully we were, you may even spot a few dolphins swimming past. We can certainly recommend it and will do it again!

This four hour excursion was phenomenal! The crew was exceptional with service and were so kind! We saw dolphins, saw beautiful sights along the coast, and enjoyed the fun toys on board like the paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel gear, and the DONUT! Ken and Diane were perfect hosts that provided everything we needed and more! :) highly recommend this trip for families, couples, or individuals!

Absolutely amazing trip. Great sailing tour, SAILING! Good fun, great crew, fantastic food and drinks, water sports, relaxing music. We will repeat! Thank you Angelo, thank you Bego.

Amazing boat with many seating/ sunbathing areas and great crew. Four of us took the boat trip on the Charlie Ruggle to celebrate my daughters 21st. Despite the sea being rough and not being able to travel very far, we still had a brilliant time. Lunch was good quality with unlimited drinks. Would definitely recommend. Very good value for money.

Fantastic day out . Few family and friends out for the afternoon. Sea was a little too choppy for going further afield but thats all part of it . Found nice cove to anchor up and play with the various toys which were all high quality and superb. Begonia was an excellent host and a credit to the operation and Dan was a superb and interesting skipper with some nice tales to tell.Both looked after our two less seaworthy group members very well indeed. Food and drinks were on point. A great day out and one we will be repeating in the future. Thanks for a great day out

The breakfast cruise which 5 of us took on Wednesday was the highlight of our holiday! We had an amazing time - sailing, swimming, paddle boarding, donutting and enjoying being aboard the catamaran - plus a lovely breakfast. Angelo, who was in charge, was most competent and conscious of everyone’s safety as well as having a fun and friendly manner - a great credit to the company. A fantastic four hours!!

A marvellous sail and play with great friends around la Herradura. Antonio was highly professional, experienced with great people skills and I felt safe on the water with his care and expertise. Crew wonderful- enjoyed breakfast, the donut and paddle boarding. Antonio even went to assist drifting nearby tourist boat and alert captain who’d left it. We were relieved we weren’t on that one!! A superb outing - thank you. 😎🐠🙏

Had the pleasure of experiencing the sun set cruise on their impressive catamaran. Relaxed but professional.... exciting but felt very safe.....and wonderfully hosted by Ken and Diane. My Mom as a non swimmer was made to feel looked after and enjoyed the trip as much as me and my Father... Who even got to skipper the catamaran himself. Would recommend this to any couple, family or group of friends who want a quality boat trip. We did the sunset version but they also so breakfast and lunchtime versions. Thank you.... We will be back!!

Accueil sympa!depart en matinée pour toute une journée en mer avec un équipage compétent et sympa ds parler des activités annexes avec les enfants!a refaire!

Breath taking cruise under the vibrant full moon, just magical to see the full moons reflection glistening on the water. Professional crew, warm and welcoming. A great evening to remember!

My wife and I went on the trip yesterday for a birthday treat. Had a wonderful day, 4 hour sail with food and drinks. Cannot fault the service and sail, beautiful coastline and amazing properties. The boat was crewed by Ken and Di and we could not have had a better or more attentive service. Would definitely recommend and will certainly return ourselves later in the year. The marina is also very pretty and worth a walk and a drink before or after your trip. Memorable and special day.

Wonderful and stable (read: no sea-sickness for anyone) catamaran boat with excellent English-speaking staff; nice food & drink offering and a great chance to meet and chat with new people. We visited in the "off-season" in that it was not warm enough to swim during our pause off the shore, but the 4-hour cruise was still the perfect length and the view of the coast incredible. We had 3 children aboard and everyone was very accommodating with them (even when the little one was being a bit loud!). Our trip included the Alhambra, Caves of Nerja, and Flamenco show and everyone agreed that our cruise with Mike & Lucy was the highlight of our travels! Highly recommended and would return in a heartbeat.

Best cruise we could have imagined. Fantastic crew and perfect service. Food and drinks were more than you could expect considering it was made on board the catamaran.

Es una pasada como te atiende cabe destacar el café con esmero es increíble me tomó dos seguidos a seguir así

I've had the pleasure of going on a few trips with hosts Mike and Lucy. After the serious part of being familiarised with boat and a safety talk, we set off on a fun filled trip which was so relaxing and peaceful. Mike and Lucy were such warm hosts, busily keeping us fed with delicious food and cava. If you wanted a quiet sunbathe you were left to relax. Or you could sit in the shade and happily chat away with Mike, the skipper, who has a wealth of knowledge about the area. Swimming in the sea was gorgeous with the option to try out paddle boarding or going on the thrilling donut. Sometimes, you're even lucky enough to glimpse some dolphins! A brilliant day out for friends or families. Excellent service, food and drinks and great value for money. That's why I keep going back!

The three of us had a fantastic afternoon out on Optimist of London on Boxing Day. Superb hospitality from Ken and Diana, endless supply of booze and food and dolphin-watching thrown in at the end as a bonus. Fantastic value for money and an outing that we would thoroughly recommend. We have only one complaint. In a reply to a previous post on this website, the boat’s owner promised that future guests were to be greeted with a tap-dancing routine from the crew, but this new feature had not yet been incorporated into the itinerary on the day of our cruise. We look forward to enjoying this bonus entertainment next time we come on board.

The food was fabulous, all home cooked and lots of vegetarian dishes as well as meat. The skippers were informative and amusing and great hosts. We were given more time on the boat than we paid for, in spite of turning up rather late. The unexpected highlight was finding a large dolphin pod which swam around the boat for several magical minutes. I am definitely going to go again, in the summer,when swimming and snorkelling will be an added treat

A fantastic afternoon on Optimist with skipper and host KEN AND DIANE, There was an abundance of water aids including PADDLE BOARD,SNORKELLING,DOUGHNUT, Food and drinks, brilliant thanks guys Roger,Sonia and group 😎😊

Var på en 3 timers tur, og sikke en fantastisk oplevelse. Det er bestemt ikke sidste gang det skal prøves! Tak for en kanon dag!

Had an abfab chillout time with Mike and Dan.....we were blessed with a beautiful sunny day and calm seas....thoroughly recommend it.....a must do from the stunning port of Marina Del Este.....enjoy folks....we are sure you will.....Colin & Chez xx

10 of us enjoyed a fantastic half day out on the water with Mike and Lucy. Everything was really well organized - from the welcome glass of bubbly to the various water sports that were available - and the whole group had a blast. The food was wonderful and the drinks didn't stop flowing! We would thoroughly recommend this affordable excursion if you're in the area.

Our experience on the Optimist 11 was so much fun. Mike & Lucy were incredibly attentive and took care of all our needs and wants. We enjoyed a variety of water sports in a quiet bay follow by a gourmet lunch. Without hesitation I would recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a great time on the water!

We really enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of sailing with Mike and Lucy. Even though the seas were a little choppy, the double-hulled catamaran “The Optimist II” made it smooth sailing. We anchored in a quiet bay and enjoyed a lovely lunch and beverages along with a variety of watersports - snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking and tubing. I would highly recommend a sailing trip with Mike and Lucy!

It was smooth sailing on a beautiful afternoon. Snorkeling and the water sports were the highlight. Mike and Lucy were wonderful. Would definitely recommend this trip.

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Nachmittag/Abend auf dem Boot. Die crew war superfreundlich und aufmerksam. Es gab frisches Obst, Snacks und durchgehend kalte Erfrischungsgetränke, Bier, Cava und Wein. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden es jederzeit wieder buchen.

We had a fabulous day on the ocean with our very attentive and caring crew. Mike and Lucy provided a delicious lunch and great selection of beverages. We paddle boarded, snorkelled, kayaked and tubed in a beautiful bay! I highly recommend an excursion on the Optimist II with Mike and Lucy!

Had an amazing afternoon/evening! PAul and Valerie ( hope correct names I’m rubbish with names) were fabulous hosts and we also had great travel companions in the guests. Treated like royalty. Great food, activities, free flowing drinks and a stunning sunset. Couldn’t ask for more!

You can do as much or as little as you want would definitely recommend and will be sure to book again next time I’m visiting my family in the area .

Well worth every Peseta. Captain Dan will look after you all the way. Sight seeing, out on the water,the food and a great soundtrack. A great experience.

A perfect afternoon with Ken and Diana and two other couples. Great to see la Herradura from the seaside and lots of possibilities to try kayak, paddle board, “donut”; snorkeling etc. or just to relax on the boat and enjoy the fantastic weather, food and wine. Super service and guidance. We really recommend going on a cruise. Flemming and Lisbeth, DK

This was a fantastic afternoon out on their amazing catamaran. Pure luxury. Ken and Diane couldn’t of been more perfect hosts. Really well looked after by them, food and beer, never left our sides. The trip out on the rib around the coves was brilliant, trying to find all the different fish. Amazing memories made and couldn’t of asked for more.
