Walk around the bay: visiting the beaches of Postiguet, under Mount Benacantil, with the castle of Santa Bárbara on its summit. Then we will go north, visiting the small coves of the quarry, which will take us to the beach of Albufereta. From there, with a couple of small coves, we will find a small marina, and on the other side of said port, a small sandy beach, very sheltered and calm, protected from almost any wave, well known to paddle surfers. And next to these small beaches we have another, Bahía de los Pinos, a small stone beach, between breakwaters with a lot of underwater nature. Visit to Cabo de las Huertas, along with the lighthouse, the stone ridges and arriving at San Juan beach. Along with the walk if you wish to the bay. We recommend the walk to visit the cape with a minimum of 4 hours, the 8-hour one being perfect to stop and enjoy two different beaches. What could be going to San Juan beach first, playing in the transparent water with white sand, like Formentera, and then going to eat at the Albufereta or Almadraba which are more sheltered and generally the water temperature is also higher. Route to Campello. This can be a continuation of the previous routes, the walk along the bay or the visit to Cabo de las Huertas. So in continuation of the previous ones, passing Cabo de las Huertas and arriving at San Juan beach, with a length of 7 km long, we will arrive at the corner of Zofra, known for the old restaurant "El Gallo Rojo" which hosted the singer Julio Iglesias on numerous occasions during the summers of the last century. Afterwards, we will arrive at the mouth of the Monnegre River, which in its lowest part is also called the dry river. And so, we will arrive at the beach of Carrer la Mar, where the Clot del Ilot ends the small beach and the Campello yacht club begins, where they have a restaurant and a beach bar that make some great rice dishes, paellas, and squid. Even so, behind the port, you can also visit the Baths of the Queen, the Roman fish farm, the Almadraba Cove, the Amerador Beach, the Morro Blanco Cove, or the Middle Cove with the Coveta Fumá, the Piteres Cove or the Lomas de Rejas Cove. We recommend this route for an 8-hour rental. Crossing to Tabarca Departure from the port of Alicante, heading south, finding shelter under the slipway, sailing close to the Alicante palm grove, and urbanova. Next we enter the sandy areas of the sun, where there are still virgin sand dunes, right next to the coast, something unusual to see today. Afterwards, we will arrive at Gran Alacant and the Santa Pola lighthouse, where activities such as paragliding are carried out. Right above the Carabasí beach, which is a virgin beach where the pines reach sea level. And with that, we arrive at the Island of Tabarca, which is a world reference for its underwater flora and fauna, and where we can carry out activities such as snorkelling, paddle surfing and of course go to the island to eat in the restaurants the typical Tabarquino dish, a fish stew, squid and enjoy its many small coves that the smallest inhabited island in the Mediterranean has. For this activity it is recommended that you spend a minimum of 8 hours. You can choose the beach you go to. It will depend on the weather. If the wind comes from the south, the waves will also come from the south, so we recommend going to the north beach. And vice versa. Summarizing. By time: 2 hours Walk around the bay 4 hours. Walk around the bay and/or visit to Cabo de las Huertas 8 hours. Walk around the bay, visit to Cabo de las Huertas and route to Campello or crossing to Tabarca. In case of extending the estimated time, 40 euros per hour will be paid for the boat and 20 euros per hour for the skipper. Where to eat? We recommend prior reservation. Walk around the bay. We can disembark on paddle surf to go to the beach and eat in one of the restaurants. On Postiguet beach or Almadraba they have restaurants. Visit to Cabo de las Huertas. I would eat at Almadraba beach again. There are two restaurants that require prior reservation, which are the ones I would go to. Route to Campello. I would eat at the restaurant, or at the beach bar at the Campello yacht club. Facilities for entering the port. Crossing to Tabarca. I would eat at the restaurant, or on the boat. There are many restaurants on the island, and a boat from the restaurant can bring us food to the boat or pick us up to go to the restaurant. The skipper will stay on the boat at all times guarding it. Included activities: Snorkeling Paddle surfing Remember that if you need a skipper for this boat, we have a professional skipper for you, so that you do not have any responsibilities and can enjoy a well-deserved day of vacation.

We had a nice trip, thanks a lot..!
Me and 10 friends had the best time on our boat trip with Ruben! We set off from Alicante and were taken to a lovely place to swim away from any jellyfish. We used the snorkelling equipment, paddle board and floats offered with the experience and really enjoyed our time swimming and exploring the coastline. Would 100% recommend! Such a good experience and very good value for money as well! Christian was amazing with helping us sort out the trip, especially because we only booked it the night before and he replied so quickly to all our messages to answer any questions. Would give 6 stars if I could 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Christian is a great guy. Verry helpful and easy to communicate with. We had a lovely trip.
Christian and Leandro (our skipper) did everything right to make this day memorable ! Thank you guys!
Christian, is a wonderful captain. He was attentive to our needs and gave our family a great experience. We will sail with him again on one of his boats. Thanks Christian.
Diego was great for the day on the water! Next us do and go where we wanted & gave us a great recommendation for dinner!
Leandro was a wonderful skipper. We had a very nice and relaxing day. When we are back in Alicante, we will for sure sail again with Christian and Leandro.
Had a great day out on the boat! Christian was a great captain and catered to our group of 11! Fun day 100% worth it
Very nice boat, very nice host! Totally recommendable!!!
Everything was perfect, communication was great and we also had 1 hour delay, but captain had no problem to wait for us, he even reminded us to buy something to eat and to buy a lot of water (which we forgot), but he still had no problem to wait for us. The whole trip was perfect and for great price, I recommend this trip to everyone who wants to have a best day in alicante on the sea!
Christian it’s perfect Skypper. He was very attentive and friendly. We had a great time. The boat was as great and very practical for 12 people. I recommend
A lovely trip at the end of November on the Costa Blanca north of Alicante. Ruben acted as our tour guide and told us about the different bays and towns we passed. I even got to steer – it was fantastic! The sailboat isn't new or modern, but that didn't hinder the sailing experience. Good value for money. The staff were very communicative and responsive.
Very good
Everything was perfect, punctual and very pleasant, we recommend it.
Very good. Captain Ruben was very attentive and friendly. I suggest no more than eight passengers on the boat.
Absolutely fantastic day! Recommend booking for a wonderful day at sea. We asked our skipper to sail longer at sea and shorter stops which was no problem and appreciated by us! It turned out to be a longer sail and a shorter stop, perfect for us! We communicated with Google translate. Own food and drinks on the boat which was absolutely perfect Clear communication with the boat owner before we went out to sea and received information about what applies on the boat.
Good
We rented the boat with a skipper as a surprise for a bachelorette party, and the bride-to-be loved it! We had a great time.
We are very grateful to the two skippers who assisted us and made everything easy for us, helping us with everything we needed. Also to Christian for his management and communication throughout. A very pleasant day in San Juan aboard his two boats.
Everything is fine
Everything went very well, very good family experience, very nice and adaptable skipper!
Everything perfect!
It is a boat that is quite old, although well maintained in the most important aspects, but with the "little things" that an old boat can have: the navigation is somewhat different, not so much space in the cockpit, some halyards are different, etc. But on the other hand, it is a sufficient boat to spend the day in Tabarca or similar, without great pretensions. Perhaps the best thing is the good communication with Christian, who although at the beginning we had some misunderstandings, finally he has proven to be a collaborative person and everything has been resolved.
Christian was fantastic during the two days we rented the boat, always friendly, helpful and communicative. As for the boat, good value for money, although it is true that the boat is old and needs improvement, we were able to do everything we set out to do. We really enjoyed the weekend.
From the first moment, communication with Cristian was exceptional. I was asking him a thousand questions and he always answered them all willingly. The skipper Rubén was great, attentive, kind and very friendly throughout the day. They provided us with an ice bucket to improve the refrigeration of our food and drink...we also tried to put it in the cabin area but it didn't work, as did the USB to charge a speaker that we had brought and it ran out of battery. But everything else was great. We would definitely go back. We had the chance to snorkel and paddle surf...a real success.
Very good communication with Christian during the rental process and reception!! Thank you Ruben (skipper) for our day at sea!!! RECOMMENDED
A great experience!! Beyond the boat's condition and the fact that it had everything we needed, Christian and Leandro were fantastic with us, they were attentive at all times and we had a lot of fun :) we'll do it again!
Excellent sailboat, well cared for for its age, it is in great condition and sails very well. Excellent treatment by Cristian, we will repeat
Had a nice day on the boat
Perfect welcome from Christian and Leandro! Compliant boat! We would have just liked to have been warned of where we were going following the bad sea weather! It's not their fault but it wasn't exceptional to spend a whole day there!
Despite not having a good wind and wave forecast, the skipper Manuel was very friendly and made the experience very pleasant. Thanks to him and Cristian for looking for alternatives in our reservation. It's been so much fun!
The boat is fine, although the truth is they had given us a quote and when we arrived they made us pay 100 euros more for gasoline. He told me that if it was in writing they would keep it for me but then he didn't. I understand that it was due to a misunderstanding when they gave us the quote but it was in writing when I asked it clearly. Furthermore, we had taken 8 hours and we left late because when we arrived they told us that we could not go to Tabarca and we had to go buy food while we were there, that the microwave did not heat up and we had to eat the food cold, and that the sea was fatal and they brought us an hour and a half before the experience was much shorter and they didn't have any details.
Communication was easy. I think they could have warned better about the state of the sea that day. We were unlucky and couldn't enjoy the trip at all due to the waves. We had half an hour just to park the boat. I thought the boat was a little bigger. It's just right for 12 people. The boat is in good condition.
Leandro was very friendly at all times. The communication with Christian to book was also good. The sailboat was too small for all of us to be on deck, since we couldn't fit all of us lying down and those who were sitting on deck were uncomfortable. I imagine that if the weather had been better and some of us had bathed, it would have been different. What indicated in the characteristics that it had a paddle surf board and there was not. Like diving goggles, of which there were only two. Even so, he was attentive to us to make sure we were comfortable and everything went well.
The owner has been very kind and correct, the boat needs some maintenance but it has behaved well during navigation.
We had a great time, and Cristian and his brother were super nice, we will repeat
We had a great time!! We were with Leandro, Christian's brother and charming! Very attentive to us, they both informed us wonderfully.
A fantastic day with friends, totally recommendable experience. We will repeat. The communication with Christian and Leonardo was great. Thanks for everything.
Very good treatment with Christian (owner of the boat) and especially with Leandro, the skipper who accompanied us during the day. Very attentive and kind. Easy and comfortable management. The ad agrees with what they offer
Christian made the experience very good. He was very attentive and explained everything perfectly so that the day turned out great. Recommended 100%. The boat is very comfortable and easy to handle. It is in very good condition and Christian is always available for anything that is needed. We spent a day in the perfect Almadraba.
You can't ask for more from Christian, he resolved my doubts before the day I took the boat and on the same day he knew how to explain how it works very well. Very attentive and close. We had a great day and we will surely repeat. Highly recommended.
We rented a bareboat sailboat to spend a night in Tabarca and everything was great. Communication with Christian was very good, both on arrival and departure, as well as during the rental, he was always willing to help. We will repeat for sure!
