Review summary
Guests celebrating birthdays highlight being able to bring their own cake and decorations, the complimentary bottle of cava for the toast and the swim stop with the ladder. They value the crew's care, also with children and pets. Among the remarks, some note that the interior cabin is small when the weather is poor and that the deck feels tight for dancing with larger groups.
Web reviews
Nice enough birthday outing but not quite the party we pictured. Six of us and the deck felt a little tight once we all wanted to sit up front. The swim stop with the ladder saved it though and the crew were lovely. Go in expecting relaxed sailing rather than a party boat and youll enjoy it more.

Hi Tom, thanks for the honest note! You are spot on, it is relaxed sailing rather than a party boat, and six on the front deck does get cosy. Really glad the swim stop and the crew made up for it. All the best!
Threw a surprise birthday for my wife and it was perfect. They let us bring our own cake and decorate a little, and the bottle of cava for the toast was a really nice touch. Captain was brilliant with the kids too

Viajamos super confortables con mi familia, el paseo fue súper tranquilo, vimos muchos delfines y la tripulación súper simpática.
Un paseo muy agradable,hemos tenido suerte de ver varios delfines mulares alrededor del barco jugando con nosotros, la tripulación muy amable.
We spotted alot of dolphins!
Cómo todos los años nos damos un paseo en este fantástico velero clásico. Un encanto Juan Carlos, su capitán. Hemos visto delfines y se hace corto una hora. Se agradece que nos den unos refrescos de forma totalmente gratuita. La tripulación de diez. Volveré como cada año.
Hoy hemos tenido la suerte de pasear en este increíble velero! Desde la contratación hasta el propio paseo ha sido de 10 el trato al cliente y la calidad del servicio! Sin duda repetiremos!!!!!
Aujourd'hui 26 septembre 2023, superbe balade au départ de 11h. Mer calme, 30°c, après un apéritif offert , au bout de 20 mn nous avons aperçu 4 dauphins. Pendant une dizaine de minutes. Ils nous ont même proposés de nous baigner. Forcément 1h ça passe vite , mais ce fut une belle balade depaysante.
Superbe experience. Le capitaine et son matelot parlent bien le français. Ils sont respectueux des dauphins. Nous en avons même vu tout près du bateau. Je recommande cette sortie en famille.
I had the great pleasure to do a trip on the Ocean Cruiser and I urge anyone looking to do a boat trip/charter to go on this vessel. The Ocean Cruiser has the proud heritage of having sailed twice round the world and has been on tv. This is a true classic yacht and to be able to share in this heritage for a 15€/20€ boat trip is incredible ! The owners are passionate about the sea and their customers and if you want a great day out, please book this yacht. The yacht is quality and the crew are quality. You can charter for yourself and crew or as a passenger with others. Saïd is the salesman who will sell you the ticket and the yacht is situated inside the Marina nearer to the Metro restaurant. Ask for Saïd ! Top guy ! 👍
Chaque année depuis 10 ans nous profitons d’un (ou de plusieurs 😁) tour(s) en bateau avec le capitaine Juan Carlos. Nous ne sommes jamais déçus!! Toujours agréable, il parle parfaitement le français et il a toujours des informations et des anecdotes intéressantes à nous donner sur la vie marine ou même la vie en Espagne…Le bateau est confortable et les dauphins viennent nous faire un petit coucou de temps en temps. Juan Carlos est très vigilant à la conservation de la nature, il ne chasse pas les dauphins mais il éteint son moteur et attend qu’ils viennent à lui naturellement: Nous en avons été témoins cet été 2022 alors que d’autres bateaux les pourchassaient en les terrifiant. Je le recommande vivement comme vous l’aurez compris et je lui dis: « à l’été prochain!! »😉
Beautiful boat and the most amazing captain and crew. Always such a smooth and fun trip. We always go out to sea with ocean cruiser each time we visit the marina. I would highly recommend this to everyone x
