A wonderful catamaran excursion with dolphins swimming alongside as an added, beautiful bonus - Wonderful, Captain Very kind and gracious and patiently sailed us around, looking for the dolphins, which we eventually did find. Quite a lovely and natural thrill to see them actually. Our captain was very attentive Serving us drinks and snacks and checking on our comfort

Best Vacation Excursion Ever - The best dolphin cruise you could ask for. We originally booked the experience for Monday because we got in late Saturday night and wanted a buffer day of relaxing. But the crew texted us a few days ahead of time and asked if we would be ok moving our experience up to Sunday due to a worry of Monday having bad conditions and the experience not being as good for us. I’m so so glad they did. We could not have asked for better weather/conditions on Sunday. We also ended up only having two other people book so it was just a small group of four of us and the captain. We had the most amazing time. The captain is so lovely and kind and took care of rod us. Everyone we spotted dolphins he redirected the boat toward them. At one point one was swimming right under/with us and it was the coolest experience I’ve ever had. The captain also brought us plenty of beverages and snacks. We paused at one point for some swimming and he even offered to pause again if we wanted but we just really enjoyed the sailing. Overall, you cannot have a better experience than this. Book now!

Not to be missed - It was such an amazing tour. The captain and crew were attentive and friendly. The drinks were topped up, and the crew informed us about the area and wildlife. It is an absolute must-do experience for anyone visiting the area.

Enjoying the sea - Very pleasant tour, friendly captain and skipper. The trip is provided with drinks and snacks. Very clean catamaran, pleasant music in the background. Too bad we didn't spot any dolphins. The captain did his best to look for them, though!

Perfect moment - The catamaran is clean and perfectly suited for a dozen guests. After a nice walk we stopped to enjoy. Kayaking, paddleboarding were available. After this sports break, the 2 people who took care of us again offered us a drink with some accompaniments. They are people were available, pleasant and professional: thank you to them for this very pleasant time.

Great family day out - Our day with Carlos and Fran was brilliant. They were great hosts and we felt safe the whole time with them, we were looking for a chilled boat experience which we definitely got. Drinks and snacks were also great. One note is the pick up point, you want to head to the gates opposite the Dior store not the other end of the port. Also google the Royal Catamaran company in Marbella for the contact info - the lady I spoke with on the phone was really helpful with directions.

Perfect boat day in Marbs! - We enjoyed an absolutely perfect day on the ocean! We saw dolphins and giant tuna, got to jump in and float around, and they provided a steady flow of beverages and snacks. We didn't get to any snorkeling areas but that is ok! It felt like a private experience, it was just us and one other group so it was a really nice excursion for the price.

Not as advertised, poor value for money - Similar experience to a previous review, "poor conditions" seemed a convenient excuse not to offer any of the advertised features (swimming, kayaking etc.) but conditions still good enough not to cancel the trip. There was a minor sea swell but that was all. It did not appear that the crew made any effort to find a location (calmer water) where the activities might have been possible. In my opinion, it was poor value for money, not worth it.

Waste of Time - There seems to be a nice loophole for this company where the weather is too choppy to do any of the activities or see any wildlife on the water, but not rough enough to actually cancel the tour. The group before us had the same experience so I would find other ways to spend my money. Staff was pleasant so I gave it two stars. Find a tour that has a boat with an engine.
