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 (table below). ## Overview Enjoy aboard our beautiful catamaran Lagoon 380 from the sun and the sea breeze as well as the possibility to see dolphins in freedom for 2 hours and meet new people! We offer small group excursions (maximum 12 people) that will make you live this experience in a different and unique way. Our crew will guide you at all times about safety concepts on board as well as a good use of the equipment available during the excursion (paddle surfing boards, snorkeling and fishing equipment, availability of use alongside sea conditions). The planning of our activity, whenever the weather conditions permit, will be to sail in search of the dolphins in freedom, anchor to enjoy the bath in the high seas, paddle surf and snorkel boards and back to home port enjoying a drink type soft drink, beer, water. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Meeting point is Pantanán 1 (Dock 1), - Max 12 people: small group - 7 start times: between 10:00 and 19:00 - Food included: see what is included - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €50: ages 2 to 8 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €60 per person - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.68/5 from 130 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Royal Catamarán - Group: Shared, up to 12 travellers - Guide languages: English, RO, Spanish - Start times: 10:00, 11:00, 12:30, 14:00, 15:00, 16:30, 19:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-03 ## Reviews 4.68 from 130 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 92% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 119 of 130. - 5 stars: 108 (83%) - 4 stars: 11 (8%) - 3 stars: 4 (3%) - 2 stars: 5 (4%) - 1 star: 2 (2%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the crew and comfortable boat; rough seas can leave the trip without swimming or paddling. **Praised:** - Friendly, attentive crew who check on comfort and serve drinks and snacks - Comfortable, spacious catamaran with room to sit and move around - Relaxed cruising with views of the Marbella coast - Swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking when conditions allow **Complaints:** - Some see dolphins close to the boat while others return without a sighting - Rough seas can prevent swimming and paddling even when the trip still goes ahead - Some expected sailing but report motoring out and back instead - Some report plentiful drinks while others find servings and refills limited Written by Guidekin from the 83 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2019-10-08 to 2026-09-16); last checked 2026-10-04. ## What's included - Snacks - All Fees and Taxes - Paddle surf boards, snorkeling equipment and fishing - 2 hour catamaran ride - Restroom on board - One complimentary drink/person (soft drinks, beer, water) ## Not included - Bath towel - Sun protection cream - Private transportation ## Itinerary 1. **Puerto Banus** (2h) - Experience this unique and different experience on board our catamaran (Lagoon 380) in a small group.
