Thank you very much for the amazing boat trip and excellent service provided by your company. Nacho, Israel, and Miguel were all punctual, very friendly, respectful, and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Not to mention, they were very handsome! 🤭 10/10. Our only complaint is that Israel, our sailor, waited until after we left the boat to finally take off his shirt… very poor timing on his part! 😀 😂😂😂🥵 Highly recommended!

His attention to detail, efficiency, and commitment to quality truly stood out. We would not hesitate to recommend him and look forward to working together again in the future. Thank you for your professionalism and excellent work!

We booked a private boat party for my sister’s hen do and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The trip lasted three hours and included unlimited drinks, a fantastic DJ, and the most incredible service. The staff were so attentive and made sure we were looked after the entire time. We loved that they even asked us what songs we wanted playing, which made the whole experience feel really personal and special. The scenery was stunning too — it honestly couldn’t have been more perfect. Every single one of us had such a brilliant time and we’d 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable day!

Nacho gave charming service! He made us smile and was consistently kind, gentle, and attentive. We definitely make memories that we would never forget!

Absolutely amazing, highly recommend Organised games and set the tone for the night! Was so respectful and made us all feel so comfortable throughout! Very handsome a bonus

Nacho was a perfect fit for our hen party! So polite and happy to do what ever we wanted. Would absolutely recommend!!!

Amazing host! Fun, respectful and came up with some brilliant games for us all! Also the cocktails were immense!!

We had a great day out canyoning with Sebastian. He was amazing with our 10yr old daughter and we felt really safe under his guidance. We would recommend Sebastian and this company for your activities in Spain. It’s the second time we have used them and we will definitely book again. Thank you!

Had a amazing time on this canyoning trip!! Such beautiful scenery and lots of swimming and wading through beautiful fresh clean water! Our whole group thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice refreshing way to escape from suntanning on the beach every day. The rocks were quite slippery so not for one who’s unsteady on their feet!!! And jumping off the cliffs is totally optional. Oscar our guide was great and knowledgeable. Our whole group thoroughly enjoyed every second!!

Super experience! Also with kids of 7 and 9 years. Our oldest didn’t want to do the jumps, no problem to skip them. Our youngest daredevil attended all of them without hesitation. Very much recommended for a few hours of an adventurous trip with all of the family.

From beginning to end Sebastien looked after us, giving clear instructions all with good humour. The location is stunning and a great place for a beginners canyoning experience. A combination of scrambling, jumping and swimming down the river valley. A five star experience

Amazing, had a trip with guide Mati. Was so much fun and I would recommend this to everyone regardless of size, age or fears. You dont need to do any jumps if you are hesitant, instead just enjoy the amazing nature. Our guide was funny and also patient with my mother who stood on the edge wanting to jump. Will definitely come back with my partner/friends for this experience.

Absolutely amazing experience and probably the best attraction in all of Marbella! ❤️ The trip was fantastic, and the crew were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. From the very beginning, we felt comfortable and well looked after. My son even got the chance to look through the goggles, which made the experience even more special for him. We were offered drinks and snacks, we could sit at the front of the boat, and we also had the opportunity to stop for a swim. 🌊 We were incredibly lucky to see dolphins! 🐬 Our trip was at 5 PM, and seeing them in their natural environment was truly unforgettable. You could really tell how experienced and knowledgeable the crew were. The whole trip had such a wonderful, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We highly recommend it! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this beautiful experience. This time and these memories will stay with us forever. ❤️🐬 Ewa & John

Can’t recommend this tour enough! Incredible service, great music, and cold drinks! We took the morning (10 am) tour and were fortunate to see the dolphins. We tracked them for about an hour as they swam alongside the boat! It was an amazing experience!

We had a great time and were really lucky to spot 7 dolphins, thanks to the Captain using his binoculars and also taking to other Captains on WhatsApp. We had 2 drinks plus a bowl of fruit which was lovely! Only dropped one star because it would be have even better if the Captain had explained more what was happening over the 3 hour trip. However, we would totally recommend the tour!

Miguel was amazing. He was professional, caring, fun and we had a perfect time with him. We saw so many dolphins it felt like a dream! I definitely recommend him. The boat is big and clean. We got drinks and fruiis /crisps. We felt so special surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. I will definitely be using his services when I come back to Marbella.

Hello, We had the best morning ever with Miguel on our private morning trip. It was a memory for a lifetime. We especially appreciated the privacy. It was amazing to see the dolphins without any other tourists around. We also made a quick stop for a swim and some stand-up paddling. Miguel provided delicious snacks and drinks and made the whole experience truly special. A perfect morning – highly recommended! Thank you, Miguel!

A timeless, fairly-priced, priceless WOW experience in a 2hour trip: professional by an authentic, local, expert captain. The yacht, like the captain, were impeccable!! And I’m so grateful to be dealing with a local family business who are both professional & passionate about it, rather than a heartless ‘business’ that only wants my money. I definitely want to come back again and again with family and friends. We saw a baby dolphin first, then later so many dolphins, some came close to the boat and under. We swam, paddled, tanned, the fruits were so fresh and refreshing. And Miguel got my daughter a special donut with a candle, they remembered that it was my daughter’s birthday! Thank you Oxana & Miguel!!

Very good experience seeing the dolphins and fishing! Miguel was amazing. We enjoyed every moment.

We had an amazing trip with Luca, he is so kind and friendly. He knows the area very well and where is best to swim, see dolphins and go paddle boarding. He is very professional but also relaxed and made us feel really comfortable. Would recommend him to anyone wanting an amazing boat trip in Marbella. Thank you so much Luca

This trip was absolutely amazing! The captain, Alessandro was a great host. Explaining about the ins and outs of how to spot Dolphins was really interesting. He did everything withing his power to let us enjoy the dolphin spectacle. My family and I will never forget this experience 🤩

Absolutely fantastic experience sailing with Luca! The service exceeded our expectations and we spend 5 hours with breathtaking views, swimming, and having great fun. The price is very reasonable compared with the dose of dopamine you are getting during the trip. Highly recommended!! Can’t wait to go on another journey with Amare and Luca!

I would definitely recommend Amarecharter to anyone looking to have a fantastic day on the water. Luca was super accommodating to our needs and provided us with an incredible boating experience! Despite having booked with him last minute, we found the boat in extremely clean conditions. It was equipped with a loud speaker, paddle boards, and complementary snacks and beverages. We will be booking with Amarecharter any time we happen to be in Marbella!

We had a great trip with Luca. The boat was in great condition and Luca was very friendly and overall a great atmosphere, thank you!

The most perfect trip with Luca. He was so accommodating and made my proposal unbelievable. We couldn’t thank him enough – he made it so special! Thank you so much for the trip and the dolphin sighting. Such a surreal morning x

I had an amazing experience! Luca, the owner, and the captain were incredibly kind. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the boat while having some delicious food. The atmosphere was relaxed and full of good vibes. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience, exceeding expectations since minute 1. Arturo helped me having an unforgettable birthday! Arturo went above and beyond at all times and everyone had a great time. Even though weather conditions were not going to be great, he managed to find a route to make sure things happened. I would definetely recommend.

Unfortunately, I do not recommend this company—our experience was very unpleasant. We booked well in advance for a group of 14 (!) for a friend’s bachelorette party and paid half the cost upfront. The event was cancelled the day before; although we managed to reschedule it after much back-and-forth, when the whole group arrived at the port, no one was there to meet us and no one answered the phone—we were left high and dry. Over the next few hours, they contacted us and tried to claim (via automated WhatsApp messages) that *we* had cancelled the activity, which was obviously untrue. A thoroughly unpleasant and stressful experience that ruined our plans and the entire bachelorette trip. An unprofessional company.

Great! Friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced on the water. The boat was spotless and in great condition, which made the trip even more enjoyable. He took us to some amazing spots, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins up close. It was a fantastic experience overall, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again! Thank you! Highly recommend!

Arturo was very welcoming and informative, the boat is well maintained and clean. He knows what he is doing and even took is out deep enough to see dolphins. Will definitely be using him again

Very disappointing experience and unreliable company. Our pre-paid trip was first rescheduled, which already forced us to change our plans. Then, when we arrived at the port for the rescheduled trip, no one showed up and no one answered our calls. Since this was part of a bachelorette weekend, it completely disrupted our itinerary and caused a lot of unnecessary stress. I would not recommend this company.

We had the time of our lives on Auster Sailors tour with Raul. He was amazing! So knowledgeable about the harbor and sailing. We were able to swim, paddleboard, and relax on the boat. Raul took photos for us. Provided wine and juice! We take a lot of boat cruises around the world, Raul was our favorite guide we’ve ever had! Highly recommend his tour!

We had the absolute best time with raul!! He made us feel so welcome, with loads of drinks and a speaker we could connect to. He followed the dolphins so we could get as close as possible and gave us so much info about Marbella. 100% recommend!!!

Such a fun boat trip Marcel from Poland and rauwr owner of the boat were amazing and so accommodating!! Blankets and music and took loads of photos 🩷

Such a brilliant day out! Our family of six had the boat all to ourselves and Captain Raul was amazing – so friendly, full of energy, and really made the trip special. We sailed out, swam in the sea, and loved the paddle board and goggles provided. Great value and a memory we’ll treasure!

Unbelievable experience with Raul. He went over and above. We loved the boat trip and it was just brilliant from start to finish. 5 stars!

I had an amazing time on the sunset tour – truly a 5-star experience! The whole vibe was super chill and beautiful, with the perfect balance of fun and relaxation. Paddleboarding during sunset was such a unique and peaceful way to enjoy the water, and the views were absolutely stunning. The captain was fantastic – really friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the tour. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a memorable and special experience on the water!

Such a nice and calming ride. Although it was a little cloudy, it was still so beautiful to sail around. The captain was so nice and provided drinks and snacks. He was very friendly. We loved our trip. Would recommend.

We had such a lovely time on the trip with Sail in Spain. It honestly felt really special from start to finish. The team were amazing and clearly put a lot of effort into tailoring the whole experience to us, especially since it was my birthday. They were incredibly kind and thoughtful, and even took the time to engage with our 6yrs old daughter, making sure she was having fun and felt included the whole time. The whole trip had such a cosy, personal feel to it, and the scenery around us was just beautiful. The sailing itself was a highlight and a wonderful way to take everything in. We were even lucky enough to see dolphins, which was just incredible and made the experience even more magical. It didn’t feel like a typical tour at all; it felt unique and genuinely unforgettable.

We had an absolutely fantastic morning sailing with Miriam and I can’t recommend her highly enough. There were seven of us, including children, and from the moment we stepped aboard Miriam made everyone feel welcome, relaxed and involved. What really stood out was how much effort she put into engaging with the children, patiently teaching them about sailing, letting them take part, and making them feel like an important part of the experience. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and genuine passion for sailing shone through all morning. Nothing felt rushed and she went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a memorable time. The balance between fun, learning and simply enjoying being out on the water was perfect. When you go on holiday, you always hope to create those special memories that stay with you long after you return home. Thanks to Miriam, this was definitely one of those experiences. It was one of the highlights of our trip and something all seven of us will be talking about for a long time. Thank you, Miriam, for such an amazing morning and for making it so special for our family.

We saw the sailboats as we sat on the beach in Marbella and knew we wanted to be on a boat not looking at them. Found this wonderful boat on trip advisor and aarp website and booked it ! Best decision ever!! Giselle and her father Roberto are the crew of this family owned and operated boat. They take 6 which was perfect for our group. We were welcomed on this beautiful and well cared for boat. Giselle made sure everyone was comfortable and we set sail for a spectacular 2 hour trip. We had the option to swim but decided the day was beautiful to enjoy the sail . We had wonderful music and beverages and snacks were provided. Below deck is a spacious area to store your bags etc. And there is a restroom. The pictures we took are spectacular! This is an absolutely must do trip! If we were staying another day we would have sailed again!! Many thanks to Giselle and Roberto for the wonderful memories of the Golden mile!

What a wonderful experience we had doing the sunset sail with Roberto and Giselle! Stunning views and wonderful explanation of all the surrounding sights. My family and I highly recommend this unique way to view the beautiful coast of Marbella with the La Concha mountain backdrop. The snacks and champagne were the icing on the cake. The pictures we got will serve as memories of our trip for years to come! Thank you Sail in Spain 🩵

I can’t recommend this trip enough! We had the 2:30pm slot the weather was glorious and Giselle and her father were the best hosts. Made the trip really enjoyable! I booked for myself and 4 friends we all had a chance to sail/drive and all in all it was brilliant worth every penny to have the boat to ourselves snack and drinks were perfect! Don’t hesitate book this trip you won’t be disappointed 😊

My family and friends had the most amazing charter. From the yacht itself, the food and beverages, the activities during the charter and the amazing captain and his son. If you are going to Marbella this is a must have booking!! A day full of memories we will never forget!

We had the best time ever on Freddie’s Boats in Marbella for a hen party! Freddie really looked after us and was very accommodating! We had a lound bluetooth speaker, wine, beer, soft drinks and snacks which all were on ice. Freddie took us to nice soots for dolphin watching and opportunity for jumping in the sea and swimming. Provided noodles and a paddle board which was fun. Plus Tyson the dog was very cute! Highly recommend!!

We were guests on Iris in May this year. Captain Jack was a fantastic host and the food which was prepared by Steven Saunders was amazing. Will definitely be doing this again.

A day out with Captain Jack, Firstly what a great Skipper Jack was, he helped us pick the best day in terms of weather and sea conditions, provided amazing refreshments and really spent some time with the boys giving them a real expereince in controlling the boat. Having a paddleboard on the boat was great fun for the whole family – I’m so happy we picked Freddie Boats

A fantastic trip with Captain Jack his hospitality and professionalism was only beaten by his friendliness. We were so lucky to experience the David Attenborough moment when a huge pod of Dolphins swam alongside the boat putting on a spectacular show. Thank you, Captain Jack for making lifetime memories.

Thank you Jack for the best experience! It made my future sister in laws hen do! highlight of our weekend – the best boat trip! kept us updated with weather conditions, gave us alternatives due to changes in weather, offered us a great price from the start, great communication and a brilliant experience throughout! music, drinks, energy was reassuring for our nervous sailors! which made them absolutely love the trip! can’t recommend Jack enough for the experience. thank you so much!

What an amazing time on Project X with Captain Jack! Great experience, highly recommended and always feel safe and in good hands. Many thanks.

We had the best time with Marbella Sailing during a 4 hour sail trip during Holy Week. Although the weather that day was a bit chilly and the sea was not as calm as we hoped, our captains made sure we had the best time! They were also equipped with wine, water, coke and THE BEST cheese we had in our whole trip in Spain! Such a fun activity when in Marbella – highly recommend.

Wonderful day on the boat – saw loads of dolphins! Drinks and fruit provided and 2 paddle boards were great fun. Lovely Captain speaks at least 3 languages. Facilities on board were great and lots of room inside to put bags etc. Very good value – thoroughly recommend!

Myself, sisters and friends visiting Marbella for a hen party and this was a must. We had the most amazing sailing charter. Stunning scenery, beautiful boat and fabulous skippers! Will be returning and will definitely spend the whole day on the boat next time. What a perfect way to spend a day. Lovely that we were able to get off, had a swim, in the lovely blue and not as cold as expected water too, paddle boards added some security for those less confident swimmers. We didn’t feel rushed at all and we were all buzzing from our experience! Absolutely brilliant experience and totally worth what you pay! Thanks so much 💛

I highly recommend, my experience was special, because I was remotely ordering a bday gift for my parents that were on holidays in Spain. Since the beginning there was a great contact (via phone and later mails) guys are very available and on their website everything is clear. After a call I knew all the details and it was very easy to book the cruise (great thing that booking is via website, you can see immediately calendar with possible dates). I have to say that I was super stressed for the fact I was not present there, so I gave all the trust to Marbella Sailing that… DID A GREAT JOB! They took care of my parents comprehensively – waiting exactly on time at the point of the meeting, offering requested snacks/drinks, music and the most important professional and safe sailing experience. Thank you very much, you made spent my parents a great moments and made me happy that everything went exactly like I wanted! This is the best way to satisfy clients! My parents will remember for ever this beautiful gift!

Thank you for a fab afternoon with proper sailing which was the best present for my husband’s birthday! We really enjoyed it and you were both wonderful. 😊

Fly Blue is a Catamaran Ferry service from Marbella to Puerto Baņus. They also have a service in Malaga which is fun too. I love the journey, the staff, the boat and it makes my frequent journeys so much more enjoyable than public transport. However, a word of warning if you buy a return ticket and cannot travel due to the weather (my ticket expired on the 5/05 and I tried to travel on the 6/05) , you will have to buy a new ticket, as I did. I did feel cheated, however, apart from that they operate a wonderful service and that is my only niggle.

The sunset cruise was absolutely STUNNING!! Vibes were beyond immaculate and cocktails were only €10!! I don’t like boats but this was an exception. GET ON BOARD ⚓️⚓️⚓️

DO NOT use this ferry business, it is a tourist scam. Did the activity today with my cousin, we are both appalled. 1st issue: duration is 2 hours long, which you’d hope would include a decent amount of swimming time, WRONG, you get 10 minutes. This leads me to my 2nd issue: overbooked, the ferry is so overbooked there isn’t enough seats for everyone, meaning 10 minutes of swimming allows everyone to jump in once and then your ushered out the water. 3rd issue: the crew is incredibly rude, they provide zero help unless your buying a overpriced drink or snack from the bar. Multiple people felt sick during the trip due to the heat and rough water, no assistance was provided for these people. Last issue is obviously the ridiculous amount you pay for this shocking experience.

An amazing 30mins catamaran ride from Puerto Banus pier to Marbella Old Town at affordable return ticket. The crews was very welcoming especially Daniel was so attentive, friendly and great service. My partner and I had an amazing afternoon this is definitely a highlight of this trip and we saw dolphins was swimming and jumping along the way. What a nice surprise! Love it so much

Lovely trip from Banús to Marbella. Crew very pleasant and not pushy. Drinks lovely and cold and not overpriced. Would recommend for the views of the sea front.

This is a really nice boat ride from Puerto Banus to Marbella. The ticket both ways were €17 for an adult. Onboard you can by refreshments at reasonable prices. One coke is €2. There is a boat leaving at each harbor every hour which gives you flexibility to plan your trip. The speed of the boat is also at cruising velocity which makes the journey calm and easy.

We had a wonderful time. The boat was great and the staff were incredibly friendly and nice. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience. Highly recommend and we look forward to doing the trip again
