5.00AAA+ If you only do one thing whilst you are in Tarifa then this is an absolute must What an awesome afternoon spent out on the water Easy communication with Fernando who met us at the boat and introduced us to Marc our Skipper for the day - two really friendly and easy going people A lovely sail followed by a great spot for a swim and snorkel, topped off with Tapas and drinks. Marc was a fantastic host and such easy chatting whilst we cruised around Can’t recommend this highly enough We only had five days here in this beautiful place and today’s trip was an absolute highlight Feeling so refreshed after such a great experience - do yourself a favour and give it a go. You won’t be disappointed Rob & Bec Smith (Adelaide, Australia)
Five Stars for Professionalism Alone

5.00Unfortunately, due to ferry scheduling issues, my group was unable to make it to Tarifa in time for our excursion. While we didn't get the chance to experience the sailing trip itself, I still wanted to leave a review because the level of professionalism and customer service we received was outstanding. From the moment we explained the situation, the owner was incredibly understanding and did everything he could to help. He offered multiple alternative dates and worked with us to try to find a solution that would fit our schedule. Unfortunately, because we were leaving the area, none of the alternatives were possible for us. Despite the circumstances being completely outside of his control, he was kind enough to provide us with a partial refund and handled the entire situation professionally and respectfully. It would have been very easy to simply point to the booking policy, but instead he chose to be fair and accommodating. While we weren't able to go on the excursion, our experience left a very positive impression. If their customer service is any indication of how they run their sailing trips, I would not hesitate to book with them again in the future.
Unforgettable

5.00Sailing excursion in Tarifa highly recommended. The experience was spectacular, with perfect conditions to enjoy the sea and surroundings. Fernando, the skipper, was professional, close and attentive throughout, making a difference. In addition, the food on board was excellent, exceeding expectations. Without a doubt, one of the best activities in Tarifa if you are looking for a quality sailing excursion. We'll repeat.

5.00The best experience! We met both of the experienced captains Marc and Fernando who are a delight. We went for our tour with Marc, if you like, he lets you learn and steer or you enjoy the ride. Very approachable and up for chats, a great chef, the food and drinks were amazing, we would always book the same trip with them as we haven't seen better. Don't hesitate, you'll have the best time ever!
Unmissable experience

5.00Excellent experience! Recommended from every point of view. Fernando is a great host, his boat is beautiful and takes care of you having a good time at all times, touring the coast of Tarifa, stopping at places where you can swim and see a multitude of fish (provides masks, snorkeling, legs, wetsuit if you want, and even a battery-operated underwater scooter to propel you over or underwater. Then you eat a great quality Spanish tapas and have a drink while relaxing in the sun on deck. Everything lasts about 3 hours. Recomendable 100%

5.00Fantastic day out on the water with Marc. He was very nice, and funny! We couldn’t recommend it more for those who enjoy being out on the water, having some nice food, and enjoying the lovely local scenery of Tarifa, and learning more about its maritime history.
