About the experience

Escape for an unforgettable day aboard our comfortable, private boat, heading south toward the hidden and contrasting treasures of the coastline from Altea to Benidorm. Between secluded coves, impressive cliffs, and the modern skyline of Benidorm, this 8-hour cruise promises a wealth of excitement and freedom.

We leave the port of Altea and sail along the wild coast, passing the old Albir mine, perched in the rock, and then the lighthouse of the "Faro Del Albir", a stone sentinel facing the sea. Soon, the majestic Serra Gelada looms: a coastal natural park with soaring cliffs and deep waters. After admiring Isla Mitjana, we stop at Cala Tío Ximo, a hidden cove with crystal-clear waters: a perfect spot for paddleboarding, kayaking, or relaxing on the floating water bed.

The tour continues along the urban beaches, with a unique cruise overlooking Benidorm's Playa Levante and its skyscraper-lined skyline. We then pass beneath the Mirador del Castell and the Balcón del Mediterráneo, before heading along the quieter Playa Poniente, ideal for a relaxing end to the trip.

Throughout the day, enjoy the included extras: a two-seater kayak, paddleboard, floating water bed, snorkeling masks, towels, a Bluetooth audio system, dishes, a cooler, and a refrigerator on board.

Bring your own snacks and drinks (no cooking or fishing allowed on board), and let yourself be carried away by the comfort and beauty of the landscape.
This is an ideal excursion for those who want to explore hidden corners and discover another side of Benidorm—one of nature, the sea, and freedom.

Please note: All routes are subject to weather conditions, including wind and wave direction. The final itinerary may be modified at the captain’s discretion for safety and comfort.
During the winter period October to May the charter is reduced to 6 hours.
In case of route changes, fuel costs will be charged based on actual consumption.

The price quoted online is for the boat rental, additional costs apply such as Skipper , fuel and final cleaning.

    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 ❤️

    Booked Yacht Shazali for a family day out. It is a comfortable, well equipped and spacious boat. Alistair was very welcoming and obviously a knowledgeable and competent captain. He tailored the itinerary to make our day exactly as we wanted it and provided lots of information on the local area and points of interest that we would have missed. When moored any toys we wanted to use were prepared and Alistair discreetly left us to it unless we asked for assistance. As a boat owner I appreciated his attention to safety as we had young children in our group. Highly recommended and would book again.

    Where do I even begin?! My hens and I had the most amazing experience aboard the Shazali yacht. We had to reschedule due to the weather, but Ali & Shaz couldn’t have been more accommodating—even though the conditions still weren’t perfect the next day, he made sure we had a brilliant time. He took us to a beautiful bay near Calpe where the water was ideal for paddleboarding and kayaking, and a few of the girls loved diving in too! The boat was full of laughs, good vibes, and unforgettable moments. We’ve already recommended Shazali to friends visiting soon. Don’t hesitate—these two are absolute stars and made my day so special. Thank you both!

    We had a fantastic day with Captain Ali and Shaz looking after the guests and assisting the captain. Everything is available on board, from towels to crockery and water toys. The fact that Ali is a professional captain became clear when we had to rescue another boat that was unable to manoeuvre and was in danger of hitting a rocky cliff. All in all, an unforgettable day.

    Had a really great day on the boat. Alistair and Sharon are great hosts and looked after us. While we expected to sort out our own food and drinks, they were on hand to help us out with preparation to make our day easier and more comfortable. We had a good trip up the coast and Alistair was flexible to let us relax and move when we wanted to. I would recommend a day on this yacht. Thank you to Alistair and Sharon.

    Having just returned from a few days in Spain celebrating my brother in laws 40th birthday. I wanted to thank you once more for a brilliant day at sea on Shazali! The 6 of us had the best day out at sea! The boat was even better than the photos showed and the fact that every detail had been thought of – with cups, cutlery, plates etc, along with towels all being provided demonstrated how much you think of your guests and want them to leave with an unforgettable experience. The communication prior to booking, once booking had been confirmed, and then in the run up to and on the day with Ali was outstanding – responses were (almost) immediate 😊 which really did make all the difference when spending so much money, the trust was there from the start and provided so much confidence. The bathing mat, paddle board, kayak, and snorkel masks which were all included were a fantastic extra which several other boats we looked at either did not provide or cost extra were a great way to experience the stops we made and were so much fun. Your knowledge of the area and as a skipper did not go unnoticed and added to the experience for us all. Thank you for a day full of memories and experiences none of us will ever forget, we 100% recommend anyone reading this to book Shazali and promise you will not be disappointed.

    Although we weren't lucky with the weather (windy and wavy) the captain took us to a silent place defended from the wind by a cliff, so we could swim and enjoy some time without swinging. The boat is very spacious and good for the kids. The hosts are friendly and professional.

    We had a lovely time time with Ali on his amazing yacht. Ali is an expert sailor who is very knowledgeable about the sea and the region of Benidorm and its neighbouring cities. Ali was super welcoming and warm, always happy to help with anything, and because of that we had a wonderfully relaxing and fun time on his boat. The state of the boat is top notch and so is all the equipment (kayak, paddle, floating board, on board Bluetooth sound system…). Can’t recommend him more, I would put extra stars if you could !!

    What an amazing experience! To start off Ali was very easy to communicate with (despite being at sea during me sending messages to him) He was very clear about every aspect of the trip including costs and weather conditions, exactly what was needed, absolutely no hidden surprises. I booked a trip for myself and my family, 7 people in total ranging from my 3 year old niece to my own parents. Upon our arrival we were all made to feel very welcome by Ali and his wife Shaz, the boat is absolutely beautiful and kept to a very high standard. Ali and Shaz interacted with us all day long and made us feel very safe paying particular attention to the toddler on board. We all had a wonderful day and we would all highly recommend this charter to anybody thinking about it, you will not be disappointed and we will definitely be back in the future!
