Dolphins are frequent enough here that the crew names the pods. In our comparison: #6 of 11 in Boat Trips & Sailing, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Sailing on a catamaran from Benalmádena (Puerto Marina, Málaga) is the best way to enjoy a dream vacation with family or friends in the surroundings of Benalmádena and Málaga. The new Lagoon offers a combination of luxury and comfort at low cost for a small group of 12 people. Several departures during the day: 1h: 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00h 2h: 10:00, 14:30, 19:30h. Boarding will be done without queues. Our crew will accompany you through a small platform that connects the port with our boat. While we sail, our skipper will try to spot dolphins or other marine life. While these majestic animals are free range and we cannot always guarantee this, each tour is unique and gives you the opportunity to reconnect with nature. During the journey, you will enjoy a complimentary drink and snack (chips) to accompany it. If the weather permits, we can raise the sails and sail while listening to the waves and we will even make stops to enjoy a refreshing swim, paddle surf or snorkel. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Meeting Point. - 15 start times: between 09:30 and 21:00 - Food included: see what is included - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €30: ages 1 to 8 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €30 per person for the 1h TRIP SHARED option; other options up to €50 - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.76/5 from 37 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Alquiler Catamaran Malaga - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English, Spanish - Start times: 15 start times between 09:30 and 21:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-09-26 ## Reviews 4.76 from 37 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 95% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 35 of 37. - 5 stars: 30 (81%) - 4 stars: 5 (14%) - 3 stars: 2 (5%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | 1h TRIP SHARED | €30 / person | Spanish, English | Duration: 1 hour: Boat trip to see dolphins.
