About the experience

Step aboard for an unforgettable maritime adventure along the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean. In just 4 hours, you’ll discover some of the most breathtaking coastal treasures of the Costa Blanca—secluded coves, dramatic cliffs, and postcard-perfect villages perched on the hillsides.

Our journey begins at the Puerto Deportivo de Altea, heading north into open sea. As we sail, the iconic blue-domed church of Altea appears on the shoreline, setting the tone for a day of charm and discovery. We pass by the small natural island of L’Olla d’Altea before making our first stop: the stunning Mascarat Beach. Here, you can dive into crystal-clear waters, snorkel, or simply relax on deck with a drink in hand.

Continuing along the rocky coastline, we cruise past the majestic Mascarat mountain range and uncover the hidden sea cave Cova dels Coloms, accessible only by boat. As we enter the scenic bay of Calpe, you'll spot the secret beaches of Cala Gasparet and Cala Les Urques, before sailing past the surreal architecture of La Muralla Roja and the futuristic Xanadu building.

What makes this experience truly unique is the perfect blend of serenity, natural beauty, and cultural richness. Unlike large group tours, this intimate trip offers a personalized, crowd-free escape.

Every stop is handpicked to offer exclusive sights and tranquil surroundings, often unreachable by land. Whether you're a couple looking for a romantic escape or a small group seeking authentic exploration, this is not just a boat trip—it’s a memory in the making.

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 ❤️
