Discover Cabo de Gata Natural Park from the sea

Parque Natural Cabo de Gata-Níjar

The purest sea in Europe

Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park is home to the clearest waters in the Spanish Mediterranean. Its seabed, declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, hides posidonia meadows, volcanic reefs and unique marine biodiversity.

From the sea, aboard our boat, you will discover corners inaccessible by land: virgin coves, sea caves and volcanic cliffs that only the ocean can reveal.

The best time for this Cabo de Gata boat tour is from June to September, when the water reaches 24-26°C and underwater visibility is exceptional for snorkeling. April, May and October are also wonderful months, with calm waters, mild temperatures and far fewer tourists — perfect if you're after a quieter experience. Booking ahead is recommended in high season, as spots are limited.

Every departure includes a licensed skipper, life jackets and snorkeling gear when applicable. The departure point — La Isleta del Moro, Las Negras or La Fabriquilla — is confirmed by WhatsApp the evening before, based on the wind and sea conditions, to guarantee the best route and maximum safety. Groups are kept small, with a maximum of 12 people, and at the end of the day you'll receive photos to keep the memory alive.

Why does everyone come back?

Because we know every secret corner

We are not a tour operator. We are locals who have been sailing these waters for 14 years. We know where the perfect cove is each day, what currents to avoid and which corner will leave you speechless.

Because the wind works for us

While others cancel, we seek out the calmest and most spectacular waters of the day. You always go out. It is always spectacular. The route changes, the magic does not.

Because maximum 12 people

We are not a mass-market tourist boat. We are an intimate experience where every person matters. The captain knows your name, helps you with snorkelling and tells you the stories of the place.

Because you get the memory photos

When it's over, you will receive photos of the experience. So the memory lasts forever. Because what you experience on that boat deserves to be kept.

Good to know

The wind decides the route

Frequent questions

Where do the Cabo de Gata boat tours depart from?

Departures are from La Isleta del Moro, Las Negras or La Fabriquilla. The exact point is confirmed via WhatsApp the day before based on wind conditions — Levante or Poniente — to always guarantee the best route and maximum safety.

What is included in the Cabo de Gata boat tour?

The tour includes a licensed skipper, life jackets, snorkeling equipment (masks and snorkels) and photos of the experience shared at the end. Duration is 1h 30min for the snorkeling tour and 1 hour for the sunset tour.

How many people fit on the boat?

The maximum is 12 people per tour, ensuring an intimate, personalized experience — very different from the large tourist catamarans.

What is the minimum age for the boat tour?

The minimum age is 4 years old. Boat tours are suitable for the whole family, including young children and older adults, since no physical effort is required.

What happens if there is bad weather or strong wind?

Safety is our priority. If sea conditions aren't suitable, the tour is cancelled or rescheduled at no cost. That's why we always confirm the departure point the day before — we choose the spot best sheltered from that day's wind to guarantee the best experience.

Do you need to know how to swim for the boat tour?

It's not essential. All participants wear a life jacket throughout the tour. To enjoy the snorkeling stop it helps to be able to float, but joining the snorkel is never mandatory.
