Our Itinerary

  • Departing from Benalmádena

    It all begins at berths 37-42 in Benalmádena Marina. The Emotions By Lu team will meet you on board, welcome you, and explain everything that awaits you. The mooring lines are cast off, and the adventure begins.

  • Cruise along the Costa del Sol

    With the wind at your back and the Costa del Sol as your backdrop, you'll sail along the Benalmádena coastline in search of dolphins and other marine life. Keep your eyes on the water: these friendly travel companions often appear when you least expect them and always surprise you.

  • In Search of the Dolphins

    This is the moment everyone's been waiting for. The boat heads into the areas where dolphins roam freely, and the crew is on high alert. When they appear, time stands still: the dolphins circle the boat, leap, play, and remind you why the sea is such a magical place.

  • Snorkel

    When the boat finds the perfect spot, it's time to jump into the water. With snorkeling equipment provided, you'll explore the Mediterranean seabed and its best-kept secrets, including the remains of a historic shipwreck. An underwater window you won't forget.

  • Maritime Activities

    It's adrenaline time. Launch yourself from the two XXL 20-foot slides straight into the sea, grab your paddleboards and kayaks, and enjoy the water to the fullest. For those who prefer something more relaxed, the deck and the views are equally irresistible.

  • Lunch on board

    After all that activity, it's time to recharge. Relax on deck with lunch on board, ambient music, and the Mediterranean horizon as your companion. This is the moment to breathe, laugh, and enjoy the calm of the open sea before returning to port.

  • Return to the Port

    The experience comes to an end, but the memory remains. The boat sets course again for Benalmádena Marina, where the Emotions By Lu team will say goodbye. And if you booked the return transfer, the minivan will be waiting to take you back to your accommodation.

The experience was incredible, totally worth it. We saw lots of dolphins, and they even set up the water slides and gave us goggles and fins. They also brought out several boards and gave us paddles.

They also provided food and drinks at no extra charge.

10 out of 10! I'll be back with my family next time.

Excellent experience with Lu Sea.
Last Sunday, they gave us the time of our lives. We spotted quite a few dolphins, got plenty of time to swim, and used the paddle courts and slides. Additionally, there was a great atmosphere provided by the music, etc.

My friends and I had an amazing time on this tour, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! From the very beginning, everything was very well organized, with a convenient pick-up option and a super friendly crew who made us feel right at home. The snorkeling was fantastic; we saw colorful fish and the remains of a centuries-old shipwreck that left us all quite impressed. The water slide was the best part, and the paddleboards and kayaking brought out our inner child in all of us, making us laugh a lot. To refuel, lunch was included and it was delicious—just what we needed after so much activity. Overall, it was the perfect mix of fun, relaxation, and adventure. The three of us wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Benalmádena!

It was a really fun experience aboard the Lu Sea (Lucy). The slide is awesome, and they even let us jump into the water from the second floor of the boat. We had a great time!

Álvaro and Luis were very attentive at all times. They offered us jackets when it was cold up top (where the views were spectacular), wetsuits for everyone because the water was cold, a glass for my drink, and they made sure the slide was always full of water so we could slide down.

A 100% recommended experience.

Really good day on the water. The whole family saw flying fish, got to use snorkels and flippers to swim in the open ocean for the first time, and had a dive down to an old wreck. There were great activities on and around the boat too with a very slick water slide into the ocean, and paddle boards/kayak.
The crew on the boat were very helpful and you always felt safe. Strongly recommended.

We had the best time on the Lu Sea, the two lads were brilliant too. They brought us to a little boat wreak where we snorkeled down to see the fish. We used the paddle boards, kayaks and the big blow up side was a real hit with the kids and adults.
We weren't expecting to see many dolphins but I was so wrong. There were lots of dolphins splashing and playing around. Some came right up to the boat and swam along side. Highly recommend this boat trip.

We had the best morning with Luis and Álvaro. Pick up was on time, we were close to marina so got there pretty quickly. First stop the dolphins, we were so lucky to see a pod of about 8, one was a calf with his mum. They swam with the boat for quite some time, but then it was time to head to the sunken boat. Once docked, we kitted up. No need for wetsuits as water wasn't too cold, but they were available. Goggles and flippers on we headed over to the site. We weren't so brave as to venture all the way down to check it out, but it's not too far down, and there was a rope guideline attached to a paddle board to help. Once the slide was inflated we headed back to the boat, where we enjoyed the slide and paddleboards, and some ham, cheese and salad roles.... the kids and adults enjoyed the entire experience. The captains were very kind and attentive. They took and shared some great pictures for us, including our unexpected sighting of a huge jellyfish. We didn't know our fellow shipmates, but everyone chatted and got along. It's not cheap, but it was well worth it!! There was alcohol available but we didn't indulge. We were a family of 4, with a 14 and 15 year old (girls). If you or your kids are prone to sickness you may want to be prepared for that. Water is so calm, but on a small boat it could be rocky at times. Do it.... you won't regret it!

This was a very awesome trip! The slide is just so much fun. Only complaint is the boat can get slippery so be careful! Saw dolphins, a boat wreck, and everything was good!

Amazing excursion if you have time in Malaga! Luis and Alvaro were fantastic and allowed us to have a relaxing end to our vacation. The boat we rented had a captain, slide, paddle boards, and lunch included. If you're lucky, you may be able to spot some dolphins along the way.

Where are we?

Arriving from…

From Torremolinos Train Station (Commuter Rail)
The Torremolinos commuter rail station is just a 10-minute drive away and about a 25-minute walk along the seafront promenade. It's a very convenient option if you're arriving from Málaga city by train, as the C-1 line connects both cities in under 20 minutes.

From the Benalmádena Pueblo Bus Stop
Benalmádena town center and its bus stops are less than 10 minutes by car from the port. Also, remember that our coach pick-up service stops at selected points in Benalmádena, Torremolinos, and Málaga, so in many cases you won't even have to worry about the journey.

From the center of Malaga City
If you're coming from Málaga city, Benalmádena Marina is about a 25-30 minute drive away via the A-7. You can also take the local train to Torremolinos and from there take a taxi or walk along the coast. It's a comfortable route with views that are already part of the experience.
