01 The experience
Two continents
on the horizon.
The boat trip to Gibraltar from Estepona is our longest outing, and the closest thing we do to a proper little voyage.
We set a course west, leave Estepona and Manilva behind, and the coast grows quieter as we close in on the Strait. There is time for everything: cruising, chatting, a bite to eat and no clock-watching.
We stop for a swim, usually at Punta Chullera, in clear water away from the crowds. Then we carry on until the Rock fills the horizon: a great slab of stone rising out of the sea that, seen from a small boat, is genuinely awe-inspiring.
On clear days, Europe and Africa are both in view, with only the Strait between them. Dolphins are possible on the way, though we never guarantee them. One important note: this is a route to see Gibraltar from the sea; there is no landing.

Questions,
answered.
Something we haven’t covered? We reply fast on WhatsApp, every day from 10:00 to 20:00.
WhatsApp us01Can we go ashore in Gibraltar?
No. The trip is about seeing the Rock from the sea; we do not land.
02How long is the boat trip to Gibraltar?
About 5 hours in all: roughly 1 hour 30 minutes of cruising each way (3 hours there and back), and the rest for a swim and the Rock.
03Where do we stop for a swim?
Usually at Punta Chullera, on the Manilva coast. If the sea is not right there, we find another sheltered spot.
04Will we see dolphins?
It is possible, as the route crosses waters where they often move, but they are wild animals and we never guarantee it.
05How much does it cost?
From €990 per boat (5 hours, up to 8 guests), with the Sublue Navbow underwater scooter included. The exact price and available dates are in the booking calendar: tap "See dates & price".
