Bookings and prices
Do I need a licence to hire the boat?
No. Every trip comes with a professional skipper, so you don’t need any qualification or sailing experience.
How much does it cost to hire the sailboat?
The sunset trip costs €245, the half day €420 and the full day €750. Prices are for the whole boat, for up to 7 people.
Is the price per person or per boat?
Per boat. The more of you there are, the less each person pays: with a group of 7, the sunset trip works out at €35 per person and the half day at €60 per person.
How do I book?
Message us on WhatsApp or use the contact form with the date, the trip you’d like and how many of you there are. We’ll confirm availability and how to pay.
How far in advance should I book?
In summer, weekends and sunset trips fill up first. We recommend booking one or two weeks ahead.
On the day
Where do we leave from?
From Barbate marina (Cádiz). Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll send you the exact location of the pontoon.
How early should we arrive?
About 15 minutes before departure, so you can board without rushing.
What should we bring?
Swimwear, a towel, sun cream, a cap, sunglasses and a light jacket for the way back. Light-soled shoes are best, or go barefoot on board.
Can we bring food and drink?
Yes. You’re welcome to bring food and drink to enjoy on board.
Can children come?
Yes. We have life jackets and adapt the trip to the group. Just let us know their ages when you book.
Weather and safety
What if it’s very windy?
The levante and poniente can blow hard on this coast. We check the forecast before every trip and, if conditions aren’t good, we’ll suggest another time or date.
Will I get seasick?
The sailboat is stable, but if you tend to get seasick, take your usual precautions and choose a short trip, such as the sunset sail.
What safety measures are in place?
The skipper is on board for every trip and the boat carries all the required safety equipment, including life jackets for everyone.
Do we sail if it rains?
In light rain with a good sea we can sail, but we usually prefer to change the date so you can enjoy the trip.
