In detail
The Skippered Charter service is the ultimate expression of exclusivity on the Ocean Cruiser. It is designed for those who do not want fixed labels or pre-set destinations, but rather the freedom of feeling that the sea belongs to them. As you set off from Puerto Marina, you are the one who sets the pace: you can suggest a specific route or let yourself be guided by our skipper’s recommendations, who knows the most special spots and the best conditions according to the wind and sea on the day.
On board this noble wooden yacht, the experience is entirely «Boutique». Unlike standard charters, here the historical character of the vessel and personalised attention take centre stage. Whether you choose a quick getaway or a more leisurely day out, you will have the comfort of our interior saloon and the spaciousness of the deck to enjoy the Mediterranean in your own way. It is the ideal service for those seeking complete privacy, without sharing the boat with anyone other than your chosen group.
So that you don’t have to worry about a thing, the charter includes a complimentary drink consisting of a soft drink or sangria per person per hour of sailing. Depending on the hours contracted, we may treat you to a bottle of cava. Just bring your desire to enjoy yourself; we provide the most spirited boat in Benalmádena and the expertise of a skipper who will make you feel like the true owner of this nautical treasure.

Review summary
Guests highlight the freedom to plan their own route and swim stops, as well as the skipper's knowledge of the area and classic sailing. They appreciate the character of the wooden sailboat and the included drinks. Things to consider: they remind that soft-soled shoes are required to protect the deck, that no snorkel gear or paddle boards are provided, and that it is wise to prepare for seasickness on rough days.

Great way to spend an afternoon with total freedom on the route, the skipper really knew his stuff. Bring your own snorkel gear or paddle boards if thats your thing, they dont provide any. Boat itself is a beautiful old classic.

Hi Kev, thanks for the heads up for others! You are right, we do not provide snorkel gear or paddle boards, best to bring your own. So glad you enjoyed the freedom of choosing the route. All the best!
Chartered the boat with a skipper for the day and honestly it felt like having our own private yacht. We told him we fancied trying to find dolphins and he took us to the right spots, saw a few in the distance. Just remember soft rubber soled shoes are a must to protect the wooden deck

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
