Highlights
  • Av. Marina del Este, 60/61 - Begin your journey with a refreshing glass of champagne, accompanied by fresh seasonal fruits and snacks.

Settle in comfortably as the skipper provides a thorough safety briefing and addresses any questions you may have.

We then depart from the marina, and depending on the weather and sea conditions, we typically pass the Punta de la Mona headland and sail westward into the stunning bay of La Herradura.

Our journey continues around the Cerro Gordo headland to the picturesque natural beach at La Cantarrijan.

Fun, Sun, and Caring Crew - The crew was amazing! Very attentive and personable. SailnPlay welcomed us after a lengthy hike in the hot sun with compassion and water (followed by delicious cava), and even gave us a ride to our hotel rather than us hiking back over a mountain afterward when we hadn't booked their shuttle (highly recommend doing so in the future!). The views, food, drinks, and experience were amazing! Highly recommend!

An evening well spent. - We private chartered a catamaran for 9 people. Tom and Ella were our crew. They were very helpful and friendly. The day itself was lovely. We sailed out and moved around the boat while enjoying drinks. After a while, the anchor was dropped and we all swam in the sea, kayaked, and stand up paddle boarded while the dinner buffet was being cooked. After dinner we sailed towards home port, stopping and cutting the engines along the way to enjoy the sunset. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Day in the Sun Out at Sea! - I went on a lovely lunch trip and I loved everything about it! The boat trip itself was safe and smooth because we were in good hands with Danka and Ella. The boat was clean and comfortable. I went with a friend, and were a part of a group that consisted of another couple, and two families - we started the trip by being given delicious cold cava, snacks and clear instructions for the day. It was great having clarity on how the day would go and what to expect. We were able to sit on the different parts of the boats to enjoy the trip and the view before anchoring at a calm bay, where we were given access to paddle boards and kayaks, to go swimming or to stay sunbathing on the boat. Drinks were unlimited throughout the day and lunch was served with a variety of options, it was a delicious spread! It was a perfect plan to relax, to getaway and to do something different. I would love the do the breakfast trip someday and the sunset trip as well at some point, so I will definitely be coming back! It is also a great idea for a group event! Thank you Sail n’ Play for a lovely day!

Perfect breakfast trip ❤️ - Perfect breakfast trip on Optimist of London II. Captain Mike and his crew Lucy were very attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Ample drinks and the food was delicious and catered for all dietary requirements. To top it off we had the most perfect dolphin show! Around 40 dolphins working together in their pod to get their breakfast! Some very playful dolphins decided to join in the ride too! There were lots of water sports on board, but I chose to soak up the sun! Perfect morning thank you Lucy and Mike

A great experience - We had a lovely day with captain Tom and shipmate Ella. We started with drinks, nibbles, introduction and safety talk before setting off from the harbor. The weather was very windy and we managed to sail for a short while but it was very rough so had to seek shelter of a quiet bay where we had a nice lunch. There was a range of food for everyone and water, soft drinks, wine or beer available. This was our seventh time on the Optimist of London, we always enjoy trips with them

Great experience sailing in La Herradura waters - Alboran sea. - The weather was lovely. A small breeze so we were able to sail which was awesome. The crew - Dana and Ian - were very communicative and friendly. The food prepared for lunch was good. When sails were down we had lunch and time for a swim, a go on the surf board and some kayaking. A great experience.

Delightful experience to celebrate family birthday - We celebrated my husband's birthday with friends aboard the Catamaran for the sunset cruise. 4 hours of sailing along the spectacular coast out of Marina del Este along to a calm anchoring off Cerre Gordo National Park where we enjoyed lots of swimming, canoeing, trying out a paddle board for the first time and splashing about like children, despite our advanced years! A lovely freshly prepared party buffet with lots of fizz was served to us by the very competent and patient first mate Eva, whilst our skipper Danka kept everything in check, helping us get near dolphins for a closer look and positioning the boat on the best route to mazimise the spectacular sunset. Most enjoyable. Would definitely do again and highly recommend.

disappointed - The catamaran was really great, but we are very disappointed not to sail more. The boat sailed 15-20 minutes then anchored for Swimming, Breakfast, then back to port, we thought the boat would go much further to see more of the coast. That's what we were looking for...
