The bow parts the morning glass and the coast of Marbella slides into view—white villas clinging to cliffs, pines shading narrow coves, and La Concha’s rocky silhouette standing watch. Onboard Madame B, the engine hums at a steady 8–10 knots, more of a coastal promenade than a blast, giving the sea time to reveal habits: a dorsal fin arching, a flash of silver, a pod of common dolphins slicing through the wake as if curious about the human interruption.

Book morning or late afternoon
Sea conditions and dolphin activity are often calmer earlier or later in the day—book these slots for better sightings and gentler seas.
Bring waterproof storage
Use a dry bag or waterproof phone case—the boat has limited secure storage and spray is common during jet-ski rides.
Follow the crew’s wildlife instructions
Always heed the captain’s guidance on approaching dolphins and wildlife to keep encounters safe and legal.
Secure loose items for the jet ski
Hats, sunglasses, and small cameras can fly—clip or stow them before hitting the jetski.
