Special Maritime Communions

If you are looking for a unique setting for a first communion photo session, the Ocean Cruiser offers the idyllic location to blend the elegance of sailor suits and communion dresses with the soul of a genuine classic sailing yacht. Forget the cold poses of traditional studios: the fine wood deck, the white of the sails and the blue of the Mediterranean provide a magical natural light and an adventurous setting that will have the little ones enjoying the session whilst you capture an unforgettable memory for life. A sophisticated, original setting with the prestige that only a vessel with history can bring to such an important family album.

In detail

Elevate the quality of your audiovisual productions and photographic shoots by chartering a charm-filled classic sailing yacht based at the prestigious Puerto Marina de Benalmádena. The Ocean Cruiser is available to production companies, advertising agencies, fashion brands and photographers seeking a setting with its own soul: with its beautiful fine wood finishes, its sun-drenched deck and the vastness of the Mediterranean as a backdrop, this vessel offers an unrivalled natural set to capture the magic of the infinite blue in your campaigns.

During the charter period, our experienced captain Juan Carlos and his crew will be entirely at the disposal of the technical team to position the yacht to find the best light angle or perfect background. You will be able to shoot whilst sailing with sails unfurled, feeling the wind, or at anchor in calm waters. The boat is equipped with ideal facilities to make the working day productive and comfortable: a spacious sun deck, on-board toilet (WC) and a bathing ladder.

Upon your arrival, we will welcome you with a complimentary drink. During the session, you will have a soft drink or sangria per person per hour of sailing. If you are looking for the perfect light, we offer flexible timetables to organise your shoot to coincide with the famous “golden hour” at sunset. Optionally, you may add a catering service and enjoy a complimentary toast at the end, to put the finishing touch to the day and celebrate the success of the production.

Did our pre wedding shoot on board and the photos came out stunning, that classic wooden yacht look is just unbeatable. Tip for other shooters, theres no power socket while sailing so charge everything beforehand, we nearly got caught out. Golden hour on the water was pure magic.

Hi Liam, congratulations on the wedding! Glad the shots came out so well, and thanks for flagging the battery tip for other shooters, there's no socket once we're under way. Golden hour on the water really is unbeatable.

We chartered the Ocean Cruiser for a fashion editorial and the wooden deck photographed beautifully in the afternoon light. Juan Carlos repositioned the boat several times so we could chase the best angle, really patient with our crew. The boats interior worked well as a changing area for the models too. Would book again for the right project.

Booked it for my sons communion photos and it was different and special, the white sails and blue sea made a gorgeous backdrop. Only thing, the deck can get busy once youve got the photographer plus family on board, felt a little tight with our group. The welcome drink was a lovely touch though.

Hi Grace, thank you for choosing us for such a special day. You're right that with a photographer plus family the deck fills up, so for bigger groups we usually suggest a slightly longer slot to give everyone room to move around. So glad the photos captured the moment.
