A warm wind off the Mediterranean lifts the catamaran's canopy as the hull cuts a lazy arc away from Benalmádena's harbor. You settle onto the broad trampolines of the Lagoon 410, sun warming the mesh beneath you, while salt and the hush of passing water sharpen the senses. The skipper plots a short coastal run where cliffs give way to beaches and the sea widens; every head turns at the first spray and the silhouette of a dorsal fin.

Bring seasickness remedies
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication or try acupressure bands before departure—short coastal runs can still be choppy.

Use high-SPF sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and a wind layer for the return; the sun and reflected sea can burn quickly.

Bring a waterproof phone case or small action camera to capture dolphins and underwater moments when snorkeling.
