In detail
Some weddings are held in ballrooms, and some become legend. The Ocean Cruiser offers couples the opportunity to celebrate their union in a setting with a soul of its own. This classic sailing boat, meticulously maintained, evokes the golden age of sailing and provides a sophisticated atmosphere that no other venue can replicate. It is the ideal setting for elopement weddings, vow renewals, or intimate celebrations following the registry office.
Under the expert guidance of our professional skipper, your ceremony or intimate reception will unfold with the ease that only the sea allows. You can choose to anchor in a quiet bay for the banquet or sail with the sails unfurled for a triumphant entrance. The boat features exquisite wooden interiors for moments of privacy and a spacious sun deck, perfect for the cocktail reception and celebrations, ensuring every detail is as timeless as the sea.
For this very special day, we offer a complimentary service with a soft drink or sangria per person per hour of sailing. We allow the client to arrange the decoration, the cake, and the music within reason and during the contracted time, so that everything reflects your personality. As the evening draws in, the sailing boat’s lighting and the reflections of the sun on the water will create the most romantic atmosphere you could imagine.

Gorgeous setting for our small wedding. One thing to sort in advance: the officiant isnt included, we didnt realise at first and had to arrange it ourselves. Photography isnt included either but theres plenty of room for your own photographer. Once that was sorted the day was lovely and the crew were brilliant.

Thank you Olivia, and congratulations! You are right that the officiant isnt included, so that is one to arrange in advance, and we should flag it more clearly. Glad there was plenty of room for your photographer and that the day came together beautifully.
We eloped with just a few guests on the boat and it was perfect. Exchanged our vows with the sea all around us and toasted with the cava. We brought our own little cake and catering and it was no problem at all. The skipper and crew looked after everything without ever getting in the way. A day well never forget.

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
