Snorkeling in Estepona: Private Boat with SUP & Dolphins

Snorkel and paddle board in waters where dolphins swim past the boat.

A private boat charter along the Estepona coastline where you snorkel in clear water, use a SUP board and floating hammock, and watch for dolphins and sea turtles. The three-hour experience keeps you away from crowded beaches, with stops timed to your pace and the boat's sun deck available whenever you want to rest.

The experience

You board a private boat and head out along the Costa del Sol, leaving the shore behind. The crew knows the waters where dolphins and sea turtles move through regularly: spotting them often becomes the highlight of the trip. The boat stops in clear water where you can jump in to snorkel with full gear provided, or stay on deck with a drink and watch the coast slide past.

The three hours are yours to shape. Swim as much as you want, try the SUP board in the shallows, float on the "SunChill" inflatables, or claim a spot on the sun deck and do nothing but look. Snorkeling equipment, soda, water and snacks are included. You bring only your appetite for the sea and whatever you want to celebrate or unwind from on land.

What’s included

• Snorkeling equipment.
• use of a SUP board and floating hammock.
• soda, bottled water and alcoholic beverages.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I snorkel the whole time or do we spend time on the boat?

You choose. The boat stops in clear water for swimming and snorkeling, but you're never forced in: many people split their time between the water and the sun deck, and the crew adjusts the stops to what your group wants to do.

How often do people actually see dolphins on this boat?

Dolphin sightings are frequent in this area and often become the highlight of the trip, though spotting them is never guaranteed. Sea turtles and whales also pass through these waters.

What's included in the three hours, is it just the boat and snorkel gear?

Snorkeling equipment, a SUP board, the floating hammock, soda, bottled water, alcoholic beverages and snacks are all included. Gratuities are not.

Is this boat suitable for young children or people who don't swim well?

The boat accommodates infants in specialized seats and small children in strollers, and it's wheelchair accessible. You don't have to enter the water: the sun deck and floating platforms work for anyone who wants to stay aboard.

Do I need to know how to paddle board, or is it a first-time thing?

The SUP board is available for you to try in the calm water where the boat stops. No experience is needed, and you can use it as much or as little as you want during the three hours.
