You cut the marina’s wake at throttle, salt spray sketching arcs across your goggles as the Marbella coast unrolls: sandy spits, low rocky promontories, and the white façades of villas clinging to the hills. The sea pushes and cajoles you forward; small swells translate into a steady, pulse-quick ride. In season, pods of bottlenose dolphins thread the bay, curious and fast.

Book morning slots
Early departures usually mean calmer seas and a higher chance of sighting dolphins before afternoon winds pick up.
Secure loose items
Use a waterproof pouch or leave valuables ashore—waves and speed will jostle anything not fastened.
Apply reef-safe sunscreen
Protect your skin and the marine environment with a broad-spectrum, biodegradable sunscreen before boarding.

Following throttle, distance, and emergency-stop instructions reduces collision risk and keeps the group together.
