Guidekin's take

A two hour catamaran sail from Marbella in a group capped twelve, with paddleboards, snorkel gear and fishing kit on board and snacks included at €60 per person.

Dolphins are regular visitors here, and the small passenger count means everyone gets a bow spot when they appear.

In our comparison: #9 of 11 in Boat Trips & Sailing, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
