The Experience
Before You Go
Morning departures for calmer seas
Book the earliest slot possible—mornings usually have less wind and flatter water, improving comfort and bite rates.
Bring motion-sickness meds if needed
Even short trips can feel rough if you’re prone to seasickness; take meds 30–60 minutes before departure.
Wear non-slip shoes
Decks can be slippery when wet; closed-toe, non-marking shoes improve footing while fishing and boarding.
Protect your documents
You’ll need ID and passport info for booking; keep them dry and accessible onshore.

- •Mediterranean shearwaters and occasional dolphins
Conservation Note
Fisheries in the region are monitored; operators encourage catch-and-release for larger specimens and follow local regulations to reduce pressure on reef populations.
Puerto Banús was developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s by José Banús, transforming a working coastline into a modern marina while the surrounding towns retained fishing traditions.
