If you often feel sick on boats or think you might, please let us know before we start our boat trip. It’s important for us to be prepared.
We keep medicine for seasickness ready for anyone who needs it. These pills take around 30 minutes to start working. That’s why we suggest you take them a bit before the boat sets out.
It’s crucial to wear flat-soled shoes (as heels are not suitable for boat decks). We also suggest bringing a hat or cap, sunscreen, and sunglasses. We provide towels on almost every boat and refreshments are also included.
For those who are planning a night excursion, a warm sweater or sweatshirt could be useful. During the colder months, you’ll need to dress warmly, and on days with strong winds or rough seas, waterproof attire would enhance your comfort.
It depends on the individual. Of course, we are always here to help. We do not impose any age restrictions if older people feel able to get on a yacht, walk on a narrow deck or motorboat on the water.

Marbella is a prime fishing location due to its proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar and the currents that flow from it. These currents continually enrich the Malaga coastline, attracting a variety of fish.

Deep-sea fishing, also known as ‘trolling’, is a technique that involves dragging fishing gear behind a moving boat.
We provide opportunities to fish for bluefin tuna and other species like melvos, bonito, or “listaos” in the Strait of Gibraltar area. Our experienced crew will guide you throughout the process.
We could rent water scooter Jet-Skis Sea Doo Spark for additional charge. Other equipment depends on the size of the group and your specific wishes, so please contact us before your trip.
We do not have separate staff and diving equipment, but if you have a preference, please contact us before your trip.
Of course. If you have any further questions, we will be happy to answer them.
