Everything was perfectly organized, the boat was in top condition, and the crew was incredibly friendly and attentive. The absolute highlight was getting to see dolphins up close—simply a magical experience! The team also arranged a jet ski for us on the water, which was a ton of fun and excitement. If you want to experience an unforgettable day on the water, this is the place to go. Highly recommended. Many thanks to the entire team for this unforgettable day!

 Verified A lovely trip! Great for families! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish for our family of five—Captain Sean took us to see dolphins, set up the swim hammock and paddleboard for us to use, and shared lots of great information. Also, one of our kids doesn’t know how to swim, and they had a life jacket in the right size ready to go. We had a great day and would highly recommend this trip—it’s perfect for families! Five stars all around!

 Verified BOOK THIS PRIVATE BOAT My group and I are so grateful for the experience we had. From the moment we booked until the end of our day on the boat, the communication was phenomenal. This is a family-owned business, and you can clearly tell how much they care about creating a great experience for their guests. Sean, our captain, was incredibly kind and constantly made sure we were having a good time—always refilling our drinks and restocking our snacks. He went above and beyond to find dolphins for us and even provided a paddleboard and an inflatable pool for extra fun. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a great trip with Boat Charter Estepona—we highly recommend them. The boat is beautiful, and the skipper, Sean, was great. He found dolphins for us to see and let our 5-year-old take a turn at the helm, which made his day. Then we anchored for a swim and played with the water toys. It’s a family-run business (a mother-and-son team), and it’s clear they really care about the customer experience and making sure everyone has a great time. Thanks, Sean and Diane!

✨ Incredible emotions and unforgettable experiences! ✨ Our boat trip with Captain Shaun and his mom was simply magical. They are so warm, friendly, and welcoming. The yacht is very clean, brand new, and the service is simply outstanding! And when, just 30 minutes into the trip, we spotted a whole pod of dolphins… 😍 We were beyond excited! Our daughter and we were absolutely thrilled—we couldn’t stop smiling. This was the best part of our vacation! A huge thank you for the wonderful memories, the amazing service, and the positivity you share! We highly recommend this to everyone—an experience we’ll cherish forever! 🐬🌊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "The best boat trip ever," according to my 7-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son. We saw lots of dolphins up close, which was magical. It was a fun surprise to have an inflatable pool and a paddleboard to play with at a swimming spot. Sean and Diane were so welcoming and kind. The boat was brand-new and spotless. We got to play our own music via Bluetooth, which was fun. We’ll be back! Thanks so much for a fantastic afternoon!

 Verified Best boat trip ever—dolphins, swimming, and friendly service. In the words of my seven-year-old daughter, this is the best boat trip ever! Sean and Diana are a great team—so welcoming and kind. The boat is brand-new and comfortable. Sean was great at spotting dolphins; we saw them so close up—it was magical. We then had a blast jumping into the sea in a bay. There were pool noodles for anyone who wanted them. Sean inflated a cool pool for the sea and handed us a paddleboard. We could play our own music via Bluetooth, which was an added bonus. My son and daughter loved getting to drive the boat and wear the captain’s hat. Thanks so much for a great afternoon! We’ll be back!!

If you're looking for a personal, family-oriented trip, I highly recommend Boat Charter Estepona. We went out as a family of four (two children aged 12 and 4) and all had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Although we only saw one dolphin, the cruise along the ocean followed by fun in the sun—relaxing in a hammock and paddleboarding—was great for everyone. We even managed to get my husband out on the paddleboard—he hadn’t been out on the sea in over 20 years! Clear, prompt communication through the WhatsApp link on the website made booking easy. If you’re in the area, this is an experience not to be missed. We’ll definitely be back. :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time on the boat with eight people and saw bottlenose dolphins. The boat is large, clean, and beautiful; drinks were provided, and the skipper (Sean) knew the area well and was very accommodating and friendly. We highly recommend it!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We had a fantastic couple of hours today with this family-run company. Diane made the booking process so easy, and her son, Shaun, captained the boat for us and couldn’t have been nicer. The boat is only a year old and stunning! The fact that it has a toilet on board was the deciding factor in our decision to book it. We saw so many dolphins! They were everywhere! Swimming alongside the boat and playing in front of it. Maybe we got lucky, but it really was so much better than we expected. The whole experience was great, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received from start to finish.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We chose a 2-hour trip. We spent half of that time cruising along, and we got up close to dolphins, which everyone loved. Then we stopped at Christo Beach, and our captain, Sean, brought out a SUP board and a circular inflatable lounger that we could all fit into. The water was clear and warm—the kids in our group of six were nervous about the ocean at first but were soon enjoying the water. The Legacy is a great boat that comfortably seats 8. Snacks and drinks were included in the price—and towels are provided, too. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, and I suspect we’ll go out again soon.

A 10 out of 10 experience! The captain was really friendly and helpful! He let us play our own music, we saw dolphins, we jumped into the sea, and he offered us something to drink... Plus, I brought my dog along, and they gave her water and treats! I’ll definitely be back! I highly recommend it!

Incredible. We had the absolute best experience! The boat is in pristine condition. It’s extremely easy to get to. Sean and his mother greeted us warmly and got us started on our dolphin-spotting adventure! Sean spotted them before anyone else, and we were the first ones there to see them. Afterward, we had an amazing swim, and their water toys are perfect. The sea pool is the highlight. Perfect for kids and also for adults just relaxing in the ocean. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our time! An absolutely incredible experience. A great local family-run business with a truly stunning boat.
