“The sailboat ride off of Marbella was great and the captain definitely made it that way!

After the first hour, we changed direction and had a real treat seeing the dolphins for about half hour. Awesome experience . Also a nice size of other passengers and we had drinks and some snacks which was a lovely touch. So glad we went on this adventure today. Learned a bit from the captain too, 👍. Highly recommend.”
