# Half-Day Luxury Catamaran Sailing Cruise in Granada

**Guidekin's take:** Four hours on a skippered luxury catamaran along the Costa Tropical from Marina del Este, with a full buffet meal, snorkelling gear, kayak and paddleboard all at €140 per person. Note the geography: this sails the Granada coast near La Herradura, about an hour east of Malaga, not the city of Granada.

In our comparison: #2 of 11 in Boat Trips & Sailing, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Luxury Skippered Catamaran and Motor Yacht Sailing Charters in the beautiful waters of the Costa Tropical.

We have been sailing these waters for 17 years since 2008. On our luxury catamaran Optimist of London II and our luxury motor yacht Charlie Ruggle we operate all-inclusive half-day (4 hour) cruises with a delicious meal, all drinks and water sports included. 

We can accommodate individuals, couples, families, small groups or large parties on several yachts in a sailing flotilla with the option of terrific food and a free bar, perfect for your special event. You can either book a PRIVATE CHARTER (minimum 8 adult guests) or a shared charter, and share the experience with others (max 12 guests). 

All our boat charter options include fully qualified crew, fuel, food, drink, sea toys and all applicable taxes and booking fees. There are no additional extras, what you see is what you pay. 
We really look forward to welcoming back our old guests and meeting many new ones!
