The experience

I didn’t expect to feel so quiet the first time I saw a dolphin’s fin break the water off Fuengirola. We were maybe twenty minutes out from the port, sun bouncing off the Costa del Sol, not too hot, just that sticky salt air clinging to your arms. Our skipper, Javier, kept scanning the horizon and telling stories about his childhood here. He pointed suddenly, “Mira!” and there it was: a flash of grey in the blue. I almost spilled my beer.

The yacht itself felt bigger than I’d pictured (I always imagine boats smaller for some reason), but with just a handful of us onboard it never got crowded. There was cava if you wanted it, or cold beers. I stuck with Fanta for a bit because honestly, my stomach gets weird on boats sometimes. Someone had brought their toddler in a stroller and she giggled every time the boat rocked. The snacks were simple: chips, olives, those salty little breadsticks Spaniards love. Nothing fancy but somehow perfect out there.

We didn’t see a whole pod of dolphins. Just two or three gliding close by before they disappeared again. Javier shrugged and said sometimes you get lucky, sometimes not. He seemed more interested in making sure we all had what we needed than putting on a show. I liked that. It felt honest. Later, when we turned back toward Fuengirola’s port, the light was starting to shift and everything looked gold for a minute. I still think about that view now and then: how easy it felt to just float for a while.
