The Fuengirola to Benalmádena Ferry and the Joven Maria dolphin spotting boat

The Starfish Ferry from Benalmádena to Fuengirola, several times every day from Easter time to the end of October. During the the winter monthe the boat runs twice a week on Tuesdays and Sundays. Not only is this a great way of getting to Benalmádena, rather than a ferry think of it more as a Mini Cruise.
 
The Joven Maria operates out of Puerto Marina in Benalmádena and offers 2 hour cruises with a swim. 
Dolphins are not guaranteed but the skipper, Nacho, tries his utmost to find these sometimes sneaky creatures.

For a full day out, combine the two boats, four hours on the water and two hours in Puerto Marina for a bite to eat and a stroll round the Marina. A great day out for the unbeatable price of 24€ for adults and 13€ for children.

Both boats have toilets on board and have bars and sell snacks and icecreams.

An opportunity not to be missed!
