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.
This is the only 4-hour (half-day) sailing experience on this coastline which includes as much as you want to drink and a superb meal

This was our fourth or fifth boat trip with these guys and again it was flawless. The crew were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food was just right, can’t recommend them highly enough. We will definitely be going again.

Our family party of 8 had a fabulous day, and our captain Tom and JJ were very attentive keeping our drinks topped up and laying on a wonderful lunch spread.
Lots of fun was had with the SUPs, kayak and snorkelling, no dolphins but lots of fish to see.
There was plenty of space for all 8 of us to spread out and relax in the sun for a leisurely cruise back along the coast.
Highly recommended and we would definitely go again. Many thanks 🙏

Very nicely received and good explanation before departure. Delicious food and a nice spot to dive with the kids and on the sub board. Recommended for families with 3 children between 5 and 9 years old. Beautiful luxurious experience

We chartered the Charlie Ruggle for 7 of us with a dog for a sunset cruise. The coastline is very special along here, national park and marine park, and dotted with incredible villas. The crew Craig and JJ were good fun and made us feel very safe and special. The paddle board was fun and we snorkeled off Cañuelo beach. JJ cooked fresh prawns in butter and garlic - delicious, plus a really nice buffet that suited everyone. The cava flowed all evening and on the way back we met a small pod of frisky bottle-nosed dolphins. If you want a truly special experience on a luxury powerboat then this trip is thoroughly recommended.

Six of us booked the half day cruise. Our crew, skipper Dan and Miles, were super friendly and chilled out and really looked after us.
We enjoyed the hospitality, food and drink was great, and they were really flexible in looking after us and letting the kids have fun snorkelling, swimming, diving off the boat and paddle boarding.
Thanks for a great trip as well as the local recommendations of things to do. We’ll come back next time!
Recommended.

We were not able to take the cruise as the company requires a undisclosed minimum number of passengers to allow the cruise to operate. Please be aware of the before you book. Customer service was good, but we were disappointed not to be able to enjoy the cruise.

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!
