Guidekin's take

A private boat out of Benalmadena for your group only, with an open bar, snorkelling, fishing gear and a crew that goes looking for dolphins, €170 per group/vehicle.

The format is fully customisable, which is the point of paying per vessel instead of per seat.

In our comparison: #5 of 11 in Boat Trips & Sailing, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
