In detail
The route to Torremolinos aboard the Ocean Cruiser is much more than a leisurely trip: it is a visual journey through the origins of tourism in Málaga. Leaving Puerto Marina, we sail along the Benalmádena coastline before heading into the waters of Torremolinos. This crossing of 2h 30m offers a unique vantage point to admire the famous rocky “El Morro” headland and the maritime charm of the old fishing quarters that today form one of the most vibrant areas of the Mediterranean.
Under the direction of our professional crew, we set course for open water for a planned stop. There, away from the beach crowds, you can dive into the turquoise sea and enjoy the absolute tranquillity that only an open horizon can provide. It is the perfect balance between panoramic sailing and total relaxation aboard a noble wooden sailing boat that lends a boutique and exclusive character to every minute of the experience.
To keep things refreshing, the service includes a soft drink or sangria per person per hour of sailing. As this is a private charter of more than two hours, ideal for celebrations, we will treat you to a complimentary bottle of cava. We also allow you to bring your own food or snacks to enjoy on the return journey. Optionally, you may personalise the trip by adding the Mediterranean Pack at the time of booking — a selection of snacks and local products for the group, designed to complete your experience with a traditional aperitivo.

Review summary
Guests value having the classic sailboat to themselves on the private route to Torremolinos, the swim stop in the open sea and the views of El Morro and La Carihuela from the water, along with touches like the complimentary cava and being able to bring their own snacks. Points to improve include clearer notice about the soft-soled shoe requirement and preparing for seasickness on rougher days.
Web reviews
Booked this for a group of six and had a great afternoon sailing over to Torremolinos. Worth checking before you go, they ask for soft soled or boat shoes to protect the deck and half of us turned up in trainers. Nice that you can bring your own snacks, we did and it worked out well. The swim stop was a bit short but overall really good.
Having the whole boat to ourselves was the best part. We anchored halfway for a swim in the open sea and the water was so clear, just us floating out there with the coast in the distance. Captain Juan Carlos knew all the spots and pointed out El Morro from the water. The complimentary cava was a lovely surprise too. Cant recommend it enough.

Thank you Kate! Juan Carlos will be happy to hear the swim stop and El Morro were the highlight. Having the boat all to yourselves really is a different experience. We would love to sail with you again!

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
