About the experience

Discover the best of the Alicante coast with this 8-hour boat trip departing from the Alicante Port Marina. A comprehensive tour of the bay that combines historical landscapes, hidden coves, water sports, and time to calmly enjoy the sea at your leisure.

We'll begin by skirting the iconic Postiguet Beach, nestled at the foot of Mount Benacantil, with its imposing Santa Bárbara Castle dominating the landscape. From there, we'll head north to discover the tranquil coves of La Cantera, perfect for a first swim or some snorkeling. We'll continue towards Albufereta Beach, ideal for anchoring and enjoying a relaxed atmosphere.

During the trip, we'll stop at small nearby coves until we reach a marina and, on the other side, a quiet, sheltered beach, very popular with paddle surfers for its calm waters. Later, we'll stop at Bahía de los Pinos, a wild, rocky cove surrounded by breakwaters and teeming with marine life.

Thanks to the tour's duration, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the sea, relax on a floating mattress, practice water sports, and disembark with a paddleboard for lunch at one of the beachfront restaurants. We recommend booking in advance at Playa del Postiguet or Playa de la Almadraba.

Please note: This boat has a maximum capacity of 12 (11 passengers plus the skipper). This experience has additional costs payable at the port:

Fuel: €60

Skipper: €240

Security Deposit: €300 (refundable at the end of the trip)

    We booked this for my sister 30th for 6 people and it was the highlight of our trip! There was more than enough space for the 6 of us and nothing was too much for Christian to make our trip so comfortable. He was such a fun and attentive host. He gave a few options on where we could go which was great! It was exactly what we wanted and more. Christian is so friendly and made the whole experience. We’d definitely come back when we’re next in the area. Would recommend this without a doubt to anyone looking for private boat trip.

    A group of ten girls and I had a fantastic day on this boat! From the moment we stepped aboard, everything felt relaxed and well-organized. The skipper was incredibly friendly, sociable, and very helpful. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was great, and the route across the water was beautiful. We laughed, enjoyed the view, and were able to completely relax. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a day of sailing with friends or family!

    It was a great trip. Christian gave us a really warm welcome, and we had the chance to chat with him on the boat. The boat is well-suited for people with mobility issues, and the skipper is really very helpful. Thank you so much, Christian! The skipper loves and takes good care of his boat. I wish him many nice guests and hope he keeps his enthusiasm for his job, as he does it with great passion. Best wishes from Germany, Roman and Nadja✌️?

    We thoroughly enjoyed this boat, and Christian, our skipper. It's a pleasure to find such kind people who were so attentive to making the experience as easy as possible, adapting to our needs. Communication with him was exquisite, as was the treatment he provided. If you're looking to rent a boat, don't hesitate to at least speak with him and see if he can offer what you're looking for. 100% recommended.
