Sail the legendary Strait where Atlantic meets Mediterranean aboard a classic private sailboat, scanning for dolphins in waters that host three resident pods. A bucket-list crossing at the edge of two continents.
What to expect
Board the beautifully appointed Assol at Sotogrande marina and glide out into the Strait where Atlantic swells meet Mediterranean calm. Your expert skipper guides you through the science and history of this legendary passage while the crew keeps watch for the three resident common, bottlenose, and striped dolphin pods. With only six guests aboard, you'll have unobstructed views from the bow and the freedom to linger wherever the wildlife leads. Chilled drinks and snacks are provided as the twin pillars of Hercules frame your horizon.
Good to know
Transfer from Gibraltar pier to Sotogrande takes approximately 25–30 minutes by taxi. Book well in advance as the 6-person cap means it sells out fast. Confirm all-aboard time before booking and allow a 90-minute buffer for the return journey.
