Excellent mini-adventure - Simple pleasures are underrated, right? And this is one of them: you get on the ferry, pick your favorite spot and enjoy the beautiful coastline. The staff is kind, it’s not crowded and the captain has a great eye for spotting dolphins. We were lucky enough to see them on both rides. Whether you want to do sightseeing in Fuengirola or just enjoy the sea, the ride is well worth the money and an enjoyable trip for the whole family.

Lovely - Excellent experience! Made our day even more special travelling by boat rather than taxi. Staff were friendly and informative, seeing dolphins and a sunfish was a bonus. Would recommend visiting Bio Park on arrival! Good variety of times for heading back to Benalmadena. Very relaxing journey!

A mini coastal sea trip - Took the one hour sea trip from feungirola to benalmadena return. Ferry runs to time and has a good coastal view. Nice way to get to and from these resorts. To and from both marinas. Note cash only. Get tickets from the marina office.

Fantastic ferry - I loved this ferry trip. I travelled from Benalmádena to Fuengirola and caught a return sailing a few hours later. The boat was really clean and looked well maintained. All the crew were terrific and gave assistance to people in wheelchairs and people with prams when boarding. As it was November and quite windy, staff handed out blankets to anyone feeling a bit chilly, which was great too. Even though it was windy, the Catamaran was really stable and a pleasant experience from start to finish. It's a beautiful stretch of coastline that you follow for an hour in each direction so there's plenty to look at along the way and on the return journey the Captain announced that there were dolphins approaching us. We had an amazing view as around twelve dolphins swam past us just a few metres away. It was a real highlight for everyone. The next time I'm in Benalmádena I will definitely be booking a trip on this ferry again and would highly recommend it to others

Ferry journey lovely - The ferry journey itself was lovely, staff friendly and helpful and we were lucky that the seas were calm. However wasn't impressed with Fuengirola and 2 hours is more than enough time spent there.
