Private Sailing - dolphin Experience Estepona - drink & food - 4h
Overview
Why choose "Sailing the Strait"? 360° Panoramic Views (Better than a Catamaran): On catamarans and motor boats, the structure forces you to walk to the bow (front) to see the view. Our unique monohull design features a rear seating and dining area with unobstructed 360-degree views. You can eat, drink, and socialize without ever losing sight of the coast or the dolphins. There are only two charter yachts of this specific type in the entire Port of Estepona.
Be the Captain for a Day: You are not just a passenger. If you wish, you can take the helm, steer the yacht, and learn traditional sailing maneuvers. No experience required!
Local Network Advantage: As local skippers, we coordinate via a private network to share live dolphin sightings, maximizing your chances of wildlife encounters.

We offer a unique 4-hour private sailing experience (double the time of standard charters) to truly enjoy the Costa del Sol at your own pace. Guided by your local captain, our philosophy centers on traditional seamanship: if there is wind, we turn off the engine and travel under sail. How the sea shapes your day: On windy days: Feel the thrill of true wind-powered sailing and connect with nature. On calm days: A flat, wave-free sea creates the absolute perfect conditions for spotting local dolphins, sea turtles, and sunfish.Our Packages:Standard Private Charter (4 Hours): The perfect duration to sail towards Marbella or Sotogrande, spot dolphins near Gibraltar, and anchor for a swim. Romantic Sunset Cruise (2 Hours): A magical late-afternoon sail to watch the horizon turn violet and burnt orange while gliding near-silently across the water. Premium Spanish Tapas Included: We don't serve basic industrial snacks.

Frequently Asked Questions (15)
The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Destinations customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Destinations snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Destinations tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023As an active member of the Dolphin SMART program, we do not have physical contact with the dolphins on Private Sailing – dolphin Experience Estepona – drink & food – 4h. We watch them in their natural habitat from the boat.
Dec 2022First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021Yes. Whatever the fishing calls for: live bait, frozen bait, cut bait, or chum, our Charter Captains will have plentiful supplies on hand. The same thing goes for artificial bait such as lures, flies, or plugs.
Jul 2022There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
