Sailing The Strait Estepona
Set sail from Estepona for a private sunset cruise that blends seaside serenity with unforgettable views. Spot dolphins, watch local fishing boats, and soak in the golden Andalusian coast as the day fades to night.
Sailing The Strait Estepona operates from Estepona, Andalucía, offering private and small-group sailing experiences along the Costa del Sol and across the Strait of Gibraltar. The company specializes in three distinct trips: Sunset Estepona, Sailing to Ceuta, and Real sailing in Estepona. Each trip focuses on authentic time on the water, combining coastal scenery, opportunities to spot marine life, and on-board refreshments or overnight accommodation where specified.
Sunset Estepona is a private sunset sail featuring drinks and snacks, scenic views of the coastline and returning fishing boats, and a chance to watch the sun set behind nearby mountains. Sailing to Ceuta crosses the Strait of Gibraltar and includes sunbathing, meals on board, opportunities to see dolphins, and a unique overnight experience that allows passengers to disembark and explore Ceuta’s colonial architecture, shops, and diving opportunities. Real sailing in Estepona invites guests to engage with sailing fundamentals, from steering the boat to feeling wind and waves on coastal passages, with rides suited to both relaxed observation and hands-on participation.
Information about safety, booking procedures, and exact departure points is provided directly by the operator at the time of reservation. Guests should consult Sailing The Strait Estepona for availability, pricing, and any specific accessibility or sea condition considerations before booking. The operator emphasizes responsible boating practices and advises guests to check weather forecasts and bring appropriate clothing. Special requests such as dietary needs or private-group arrangements can be discussed during booking to tailor the sailing experience to passenger preferences and local regulations.
