👍👍 We had the pleasure of meeting John and Gilly for a sunset tour. I genuinely couldn't have asked for any more and they were the ultimate hosts to our group. Both were welcoming, friendly and did everything possible to make you feel like part of their family. The Bombay Sapphire is a beautiful boat...

    We had the pleasure of meeting John and Gilly for a sunset tour. I genuinely couldn't have asked for any more and they were the ultimate hosts to our group. Both were welcoming, friendly and did everything possible to make you feel like part of their family. The Bombay Sapphire is a beautiful boat with cushioning for all the seating around the deck area, to help you relax and appreciate the views. We had beautiful sunshine, blue skies and calm waters so it was a trip to remember for us all. Drinks and snacks were provided and we were constantly asked if you needed any more drinks throughout the trip. We loved the stands for the wine so they didn't fall with the movement of the boat. The cherry on the top was the fact my son was allowed to sit up near the back and hold the wheel with the crew for some photos. He was so chuffed and felt like he had sailed the boat. He hasn't stopped talking about it since. A fabulous touch to the perfect evening. If I could rate this higher than 5 I would. It was honestly one of the best trips and experiences we've had anywhere in the world. John and Gilly were the perfect hosts. If you choose to do one thing whilst over in Fuengirola then this should be top of your list!

    Wow - fantastic trip. This was the first time that the majority of the family has been on open water (& a yacht) - they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The crew looked after us really well. We were fortunate enough to come across a large pod of Atlantic White-striped dolphins, who stayed with us for about an hour. The family all voted to book the Bombay Saphire again when we are next in the area.

    INCREDIBLE !! This trip is amazing and I would recommend it to everyone. John and Lorenzo are great guides and have made the experience perfect. It was taken care of all drinks, snacks and blankets. The atmosphere on the boat with water, dolphins and good company. Not replaceable.

    John and Lorenzo were fantastic hosts! Really enjoyable trip watching the sun set over the Costa del Sol. Beautiful boat and well maintained. Loads of drinks and snacks served throughout the trip and great party music 😎. You won’t regret choosing this company.

    We have been on three trips with John in the last two years. The ambiance is great and the boat is lovely. Great value for money with snacks and drinks included. We have had great times all three times and highly recommend booking with them. Big thanks to John, Alberto and Lorenzo for having us! Until next time! Sophia and Gianni

    Ok, how to Start... First of all John is not a Business Man but a Passionate Sailing Man, try to sit next to him during the Cruise, you'll notice why I m saying this, He could work for the National Geographic Channel. Now, how do I disciple my experiences I got out of this trip, can not really say, 24h later still not know how to deal with this. Its a one life time experience, First of all you need to reserve, the Lady will give you the Price... than you think, na...can't be great, but at least I am on a Sailing Boat for a bit more than 2 Hours. But than....... we hit a Dolphin Hotspot.... the rest you ll see on me Pictures. Just to clarify, I am not a Robotor or John' Brother etc, I do exist in real :-) ..... I ll try to go again coming Sunday. Conclusion, whatch my Picures taken with me cell phone. I would recommend the 6h30 pm trip..... now have fun ... FOR ME IT WAS A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE

    This sunset trip was so magical with the sunset and we got to se the dolphins for so long time, they swim right in front the boat and jumped up to the surface. Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the trip and the Crew John and Lorenzo ✨☺️

    We took the train from Malaga this summer to take this trip with John based on the fantastic reviews. I warned the kids we might not see any dolphins or get maybe just a glimpse. The experience was amazing - more than we could have hoped for! John and his crew were genuine, friendly and took amazing care of us. It really felt like going out with friends on their boat. They took us directly to a spot where where dozens and dozens of dolphins played around the boat for ages. Including a mother with twins. It's an experience we often think back to and will never forget.

    Lovely boat trip. The guys (John and Lorenzo) were very attentive - our glasses were never empty! It was a very calm sea so we were able to swim off the boat. Unfortunately we didn't see any dolphins, but that's the risk you take. It just means I'll do it again.

    Excellent trip and fabulous host. Prosecco & nibbles on the boat. John was the perfect captain and Lorenzo the perfect host. They both made our wonderful trip so memorable and special! Highly recommended !

    A big thank you to John & Gilly for taking us on the sunset 🌅 cruise last night. It was a special treat for my birthday that didn’t disappoint. This is our second trip on the Bombay Sapphire & we wouldn’t use any other boat. John & Gilly are very welcoming and make the experience top class. Thanks again, keep doing what your doing. Love Q, Mel & Max xxx

    We had the best time on this boat trip! We were both a little bit nervous especially with me not being a strong swimmer but they were so welcoming and made us feel so comfortable. They even made me feel comfortable and safe enough to go in the water! The music was lovely, they were generous with the snacks and drinks and we saw lots of dolphins! Would certainly recommend- thank you for a lovely afternoon!

  • 5/5 Mary J. 1 year ago on Google
    This by far was one of the best experiences of my life. I have never seen or fine anything like it and I am so glad we found John. John made us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we made contact and throughout the whole experience. The boat was very cute and we felt safe on it. John and Gilly explained it was a 50/50 chance we would see the dolphins. But to be honest, the dolphins were the bonus. The hospitality on board was excellent and would have just been happy with the two hour boat ride. Alas we did see dolphins, the whole family. It was magnificent and very humbling. I would highly recommend the dolphin experience with John. I really hope to come back in the future and bring along the whole family. Thanks John and Gilly x

    A truly unforgettable experience-you've exceeded our expectations! Thank you ever so much for the amazing time and making our children (2 & 5 yo) feel extra special!

    What can I say apart from thank you so much for the best trip we have ever had all of you so welcoming and the dolphins were amazing experience will definitely be coming to see you next year xx

  • 5/5 drew m. 1 year ago on Google
    Exceptional trip. Incredible attention to safety and emphasis on ensuring that the passengers have the best time. We saw dolphins but even if we hadn't, the boat trip with flowing drinks would have been well more than what we felt we should have got for the price we paid. I will be recommending this to my friends and family and encourage anyone in the area to take advantage of such a well put together trip while in the area

  • 5/5 Rory L. 1 year ago on Google
    Captain John and his crew were great and knew their stuff and delivered dolphins. A recommended charter and trip for anyone visiting

  • 5/5 Jim D. 2 years ago on Google
    What a fantastic experience. Great crew, wonderful atmosphere, free drinks and snacks a sunset to die for plus dolphins and flying fish too. Truly amazing and totally recommended.

  • 5/5 Katie G. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow, what can I say? John and Alberto were fabulous! We were literally plied with drinks and snacks throughout - nothing was too much. The atmosphere was lovely; really family friendly and a spectacular boat. To say that we saw dolphins was an understatement. John and Alberto knew exactly where to go and we had the best view of dolphins close up to the boat. An amazing trip - I would have paid double what we were charged!

  • 5/5 Stewart P. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome experience, never got to see the dolphins but the captain was fantastic and very knowledgeable and kept the youngest entertained throughout the trip. Highley recommend

  • 5/5 PJ s. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely smashing experience - in all aspects. First, the good: (1) The yacht is a very well taken care of 40ft boat, comfortable, spacious, and well maintained. (2) John is a very experienced captain - knows his stuff, and instantly instilled a feeling of ease for two amateur sea-farers like us. (3) His deckhand(?), an Italian gentleman, very professional, polite, and clearly - with some degree of hospitality training: he carried over my finace's drink for her when she was sitting up front of the yacht - and helped guide her along the side of the ship to ensure her safety and comfort. Top class. (4) The trip itself was an incredible success: we saw a massive pod of dolphins freely swimming/jumping all around us. What's most important - was John remained cognizant of being unintrusive to them: he appears respectful of the sea life around, and this was a big plus for us. Only one mild negative: John is quite shy, and takes a while to open up. He'll warm up after a while, but it might take a while to get him to start talking... ;) He's definitely a man of few words... ;) Recommended, for the entire family. Just an amazing experience, and worth every cent. You don't find value like this often these days.

    Fantastic 2 hr boat trip with capt John and Lorenzo. Loved it. Capt was fantastic host English loads of knowledge. Snax and drinks flowed got a shot at the wheel. Cant say enough about it. Over from Scotland on hols made our day

  • 5/5 Hazel S. 1 year ago on Google
    AMAZING experience, John & Lorenzo were the perfect hosts, so friendly, chatty & knowledgeable about what they do. I am definitely jealous of their day. The boat was immaculate & the whole atmosphere was very relaxed. We did a 2pm trip & Dolphins are not promised but luckily nature obliged & we got to see the Dolphins pretty much for the whole boat trip. John & Lorenzo seemed determined for us to get the full experience which we so appreciated. Highly recommend this boat trip, very professional & friendly company.

  • 5/5 Dirk N. 2 years ago on Google
    An unforgetable experience. Most professional aproach to make the trip perfect. Even for my wife who gets seasickness very fast. John knows how to handle it. He and Lorenzo make a great team. Very attent. We will repeat in a couple of days. Fantastic!

    Cannot recommend Bombay Sapphire enough. Without a doubt, the best boat trip we have ever been on, the attentive , knowledgeable & super friendly crew made all the difference, the dolphins that stayed with us for most of the trip were just a bonus! We will 100% be booking again next time we visit Fuengirola!

  • 5/5 Jurgita S. 10 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I recently went on a boat trip and I must say, it was an experience of a lifetime! The highlight of the trip was definitely seeing dolphins in their natural habitat. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the trip super cosy. They even managed to capture some amazing pictures of the dolphins, which was truly unforgettable. I would like to give a special shoutout to Lorenzo and Gillian, the captain and crew of the boat. They made the entire trip so enjoyable and memorable. Their expertise and knowledge of the area made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. The trip was definitely worth every penny, and the nice drinks provided on board were an added bonus. My entire family thoroughly enjoyed the trip and we now have some great memories to cherish for a lifetime. Overall, I would highly recommend this boat trip to anyone looking for an exciting and unforgettable experience. Thank you to the entire crew for making this trip so amazing!

    Yet another 5* Google review for John and Gilly! My mum, dad, wife and I had a wonderful two-hour trip this afternoon, managing to see a dolphin despite it being December. Very relaxed but professional service and an unforgettable way to see this bit of the coast, with a cold beer (or glass of rosé) in hand.
