What to Expect During Your Rental

Starting at the Benalmádena Marina, you’ll meet staff at the designated point near the Casa Blanca cafeteria. The check-in process is straightforward, with a brief safety briefing and handling instructions from a knowledgeable instructor. Once aboard your brand new trimaran, you’ll notice its impressive stability and high hull, making it safer and more comfortable than smaller, less stable boats.

The boat itself is about 5 meters long with a 2.10-meter beam, giving plenty of space for lounging, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the scenery. The large solarium with padded seats provides a perfect spot to soak up the sun or relax as you cruise along the coast. There’s also a Bimini sunshade and external speakers with Bluetooth connectivity, so you can listen to your favorite tunes while drifting along.

Discovering the Malaga Coast

As you set sail, you’ll be able to admire the spectacular coastline, with its rocky coves, beaches, and cliffs. The boat’s ease of handling makes it ideal for leisurely exploration — you could go for a swim, fish for fun, or just cruise and enjoy the views.

One of the biggest surprises for many renters is the chance to spot dolphins. Several reviews mention dolphin sightings as a highlight, with travelers describing the thrill of seeing these playful creatures breach the water nearby. Being out in the open sea offers a different perspective of Malaga, away from crowded beaches and busy promenades.

The boat offers enough space for up to six passengers, making it a great activity for small groups or families. The rental is by the hour, so you can choose to stay out for a quick trip or spend a whole afternoon basking in the sun.

Why It’s a Great Value

For $35, you’re getting a fully equipped boat with insurance, safety gear, and a personal instructor — plus all the extras like Bluetooth music, a refrigerator, and a sunshade. That’s an excellent deal considering the cost of organized boat tours in the area, which can be significantly pricier and less flexible.

You’re not just paying for transportation — you’re gaining the freedom to explore, stop where you like, and create your own adventure. The personalized service ensures a hassle-free experience, and reviews highlight how well the staff communicated and organized everything.
