This month I was invited by the owners of Costa Boat Trips in Caleta de Velez to enjoy a beautiful day out on a comfortable, modern, technically superior and safe Italian power boat. Well what else could I say, but I would love too!
Also on the guest list was Helen from a well-established and reputable B & B in Competa, Villa Andalucía and Tony and Tracy from Catering Company Amigos Cocina.
Cost Boat Trips are teaming up with Tony and Tracy to provide a gourmet food offering on their excursions, a step up from the excellent picnic they already provide and I got to try both which was really fabulous!
Ordinarily you hire the boat for the excursion and time length of your choice. Their Boat trips aren’t mixed with other groups; they are private to your party and can cater up to 8 people plus their 2 crew.
This is a niche service designed for you to relax exclusively with family and friends of your choice away from the crowd.
The most popular trips are the 3 or 4 hour boat trips to Maro Waterfalls leaving from La Caleta Marina and sailing along the Axarquia coast via Torrox, Balcony of Europe, Nerja, Burriana Beach and on to Maro Cerro Gordo pristine marine park. A trip not to be missed.
Complimentary soft drinks along with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, lots of nibbles, freshly made sandwiches with new baked wonderful Dutch bread rolls, & fresh large towels are all included in the price of the boat hire.
As they were keen to point out that there aim is to have fun on board their amazing power boat.
They are not time watchers, very generous over extra time and they listen to what their customers would like or want to do.
For example some guests want a fast ride to the Maro Waterfalls in order to spend lots of time off and on the boat, snorkelling and swimming in the crystal clear waters under the waterfalls.
Other guests prefer a more leisurely pace from Caleta to take in the coastal scenery whilst enjoying the relaxation of being on a boat and soaking up the sun.
Many guests make their way from Nerja to La Caleta Marina and prefer to be dropped off at Burriana Beach instead of returning back to Caleta.
Costa Boat Trip are more than happy to offer a bespoke service to any of their guests. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
They are a real pleasure to spend time with and they clearly enjoy what they do and gain great pleasure out of sailing and entertaining on their luxury power boat.
As they are also avid Scuba Divers they chose to move and set up the business in Torre Del Mar. They chose this area to settle in as they felt the coastline had the best waters for diving. It was also two years ago they bought the boat and the business got started.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time I spent on the boat with them.
The boat is new, spacious and extremely comfortable and the whole trip was relaxing with a plentiful supply of drink and wonderful food.
They are great hosts and their boat is a fabulous way to explore, relax and spend time with your family and friends in peace and quiet away from the crowds.
They are offering special trips over the Torre Del Mar Air show weekend so please contact them about prices and times and of course treat yourself to the extra gourmet picnic, it’s worth it!
