About the experience

Experience an exceptional day at sea aboard our comfortable boat, exploring the most beautiful corners of the Costa Blanca, from Altea to Jávea. This 8-hour adventure combines spectacular landscapes, secret coves, and unforgettable swims in turquoise waters accessible only by sea.

We depart from the port of Altea, leaving behind the blue-domed church and the cliffs of Mascarat. The coast gradually reveals itself with the island of L'Olla, the mysterious cave of Cova dels Coloms, and the hidden coves of Gasparet and Les Urques. After cruising along the beaches and pine forests between Calpe and Moraira, we make our first stop at El Portet: a calm and sheltered bay, perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply sunbathing on the floating water bed.

But the adventure continues: heading even further north towards the steep cliffs of Cala Llebeig and Cala Moraig, then the splendid Playa de la Granadella. Sailing along past Isla del Descubridor and Cabo de la Nao, we finally reach Cala Portixol or Cala Blanca, our heavenly destinations for a last swim, snorkeling, or a moment of relaxation. The return to Altea offers a unique natural spectacle as the light descends over the Puig Campana Mountain range.

On board, you'll enjoy many included extras: a 2-seater kayak, SUP paddleboard, floating water bed, diving masks, towels, a Bluetooth connection for your music, complete tableware, a cooler, and a refrigerator.

Everyone brings their own food and drinks, for a day at your own pace. Here, there's no fishing or cooking on board, just the freedom and pleasure of exploring in complete serenity. An exclusive day, away from the crowds, to be enjoyed with friends, family or as a couple — 100% Mediterranean, 100% unforgettable.

We had an unforgettable end to our holiday on the Shazali with 5 adults and 3 children aged 7-12. Sharon and Ali were incredibly attentive hosts who lovingly took care of everything. It truly couldn't have been better. We are thrilled with this boat and grateful for the wonderful memories. We wholeheartedly recommend it without reservation. Many thanks to Sharon and Alistair ❤️
