If you’re looking for the most enjoyable way to spend time at the sea in Fuengirola, here is the most popular options available:

What to Know Before Booking a Boat Trip in Fuengirola
Dolphin Watching Trips – You will need to manage your expectations if you book a dolphin-watching trip as there are no guarantees that you will see anything. The success of dolphin watching really depends on the time of the year, season and also at what time you venture out to the sea.
Boat Licensing – this one is rather obvious, but I thought I would mention it for completeness – most of the boat rentals offered by the local companies do not require a license, but the bigger capacity boats do, so do check that before you book anything.
Alternative Destinations – Fuengirola has a fairly limited availability of different types of boats you can rent and the types of trips you can take. If you want to expand your options, I would recommend looking into boat trip options from Benalmadena Marina, which is much bigger and has more options to choose from.
Fuengirola Boat Trips from Fuengirola Marina
Most of the boat rental companies and those offering dedicated trips to the sea have their offices in Fuengirola Marina.
In the list below, you will find all the available ones, in no order of priority or quality. I do not have any personal experience with any of these.
1. FUENGIROLA NAUTIC
Fuengirola Nautic offers a nice selection of boats, ranging from 5 person boats to yachts with a capacity of 12 people.
The smallest boat you can rent without a license, with a capacity of 5 people, costs 70 euros per hour, with the most expensive option being the yacht at 230 euros per hour.
In addition to boat rental, you can also book a dolphin-watching tour, I liked the details below.
