Welcome onboard with a chilled glass of champagne & fresh seasonal fruit & nibbles.
Make yourself comfortable, whilst the skipper gives everyone a comprehensive safety briefing and answers any questions.
We then set sail out of the marina and depending on the weather & sea conditions, we usually pass the Punta de la Mona headland and sail westwards into the beautiful bay of La Herradura.
The skipper points out local historic attractions, including the site of a 16th Century shipping tragedy where 23 ships foundered, and the 12th Century stone watchtowers built along the coastline.
We continue around the Cerro Gordo headland to the beautiful natural beach at La Cantarrijan. When the anchor drops for lunch, there is time to swim, snorkel, visit the old smugglers' caves (weather permitting) and have fun with the kayak and SUP paddleboards.

Reviews
The absolute highlight of our holiday.

We had a fabulous trip on Charlie Ruggle for an afternoon cruise. Dan and Lisa made us feel so at home, and gave us a great tour along the coast. When we stopped we dived in to swim and snorkel around a cave, then got on the paddleboards as well. Food and drink was freshly prepared and cooked, and tasted wonderful with some left over to take home. And Mike and the guys in the office were so friendly, and sorted out a lost property issue really well. We were on the Costa Tropical for two weeks, and this was the absolute highlight of our holiday. Thank you!
Amazing day with SailNPlay

We had an amazing time during our Half-Day Luxury Motor Yacht Cruise with SailNPlay. The crew and staff were very friendly and the views and overall experience was unforgettable. We will definitely look to book again the next time we are in the area.
Living lux!

Great day out with a great selection of food for lunch and what seemed to be never ending cava! Really enjoyed the stop off to swim and would definitely do it again around dolphin viewing season.
Charlie Ruggle Afternoon Cruise

Wonderful afternoon on board The Charlie Ruggle with Dan and JJ looking after us keeping us fed and watered!
Great snorkeling and paddle boarding in bays and caves.
Stormy seas - boat company should have cancelled.

There perhaps should be a policy on cancelling when it's not boat weather. We were a little surprised when our skipper suggested we moor in the next bay, less than 10 minutes from where we had left from, when we were looking forward to exploring several bays for swimming and snorkelling. He admitted it was a little choppy but said he'd take us further if we liked. We set off and half an hour later dropped anchor in a very choppy bay. Long story short, one of us was sick and two others felt terrible throughout. I have been out on lots of boats and have never felt so bad and a glance around confirmed that there were no other boats in the bay. We asked to go somewhere calmer and one horribly choppy hour later, we were taken back to the bay close to the marina. My paddle boarded the sickest of us to shore. I don't blame Dan and Miles - they were lovely and I'm told the lunch which, by the time we'd got into calm water was served at 4, was delicious. I just think there should be a money back policy on days like this. It was just too windy to be enjoyable. If the only bay you can go to involves sailing for ten minutes, then it should be cancelled and our money returned.
