The experience

What makes this cruise different is that you shape it. You pick which two wines to taste from the selection, choose the food spread (fresh cheese, baguette, fruits, vegetables), and decide what music plays while you float. The boat stays small and private, which is why you see the mountain and the beaches without the tour-boat traffic. Two hours is enough time to watch the sun drop behind El Picacho while you're actually tasting something good instead of just watching it happen.

The crew handles the details: they pour the wines, bring out the food, keep the soft drinks and bar flowing, and hand you cushions and blankets so you can settle in. They're also taking photos and video the whole time (not posed shots, but the real moments of your group), and those images come with the booking. A guide speaks English or Spanish, so the conversation moves at your pace.

Departure time changes month to month depending on when the sun actually sets, so you'll get a message with your exact time once you've booked. The minimum age to drink is 18, and the boat works for groups of any size as long as you're booking it private.
