Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our 3-hour luxury winter sail with SailnPlay was fantastic! Tom, our Captain, and Ella were knowledgeable about the area and very personable. We were celebrating a birthday and they went out of their way to make sure every detail was taken care of. The lunch and drinks were delicious and plentiful. An easy booking process and great communications from the moment we booked the cruise. Definitely a 5*+++++

Despite bad weather with very choppy seas we enjoyed our day celebrating a milestone birthday. Mike and Ella were the perfect hosts, serving drinks and lunch back in the marina. We're planning to do it again later in the year.

If you want to make your holiday special, book a catamaran trip with Sailnplay. Mike and Tom were very hepful and competant. They gave the group time to use a SUP and a kayak, cooked great food, drinks and made us all feel included. Their knowledge and sailing advice was second to none.

We were picked up by minibus at my house in Nerja. The trip went to Marina del Este in La Herradura. Here Captain Tom was waiting with Optimist of London 2. An exceptionally handsome fellow we thought, it was a setback when he was only 19 years old and we could all have been his grandmother! The bubbles flowed, delicious food, we plunged in, swam and paddled. A wonderful day at sea. We were actually going to sail, but we didn't think about the fact that the sails hadn't been up until we were back in the harbour, there was no wind! Only two got seasick - one fell under a sailboard and felt she was close to drowning - but it went well - only the curls disappeared!

My wife and I and four friends took a trip on the SailnPlay catamaran with our brilliant skipper Tom and his more than able first mate Ella. It was one of the most enjoyable days we have had on the Coast and we enjoyed every minute of it from when we left the marina to our return. We paddle boarded, canoed, swam and snorkled in crystal clear waters followed by a wonderful lunch on board prepared by Ella. We would all highly recommend this trip to all and will definitely be back on board next year.

We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon aboard the catamaran celebrating my husband’s birthday. Bubbles as we set sail, then a fabulous lunch, wine and beer followed by birthday cake as we sailed back to the marina. Our teenagers loved the paddle boards and kayak! We were brilliantly looked after by the Sail&Play crew ,a huge thank you to them.

We went on the catamaran cruise and it was just lovely! More than lovely… Captain Tom and his staff took really good care of all of us, and the food and drinks were delicious. We didn’t have to get off the boat hungry nor thirsty. ;)
Everything got even better when we ran into a big group of dolphins - I have never seen so many dolphins come that close.
We would recommend it to everyone thinking of booking a trip with Sailnplay! Just do it, you will not regret it! :)

A great trip out. Our initial booking was cancelled due to windy conditions but managed to reschedule with no problems. There were 9 guests total on trip and plenty of room to move about. Dan and Ella were our crew and took good care of us. We went out in the morning so we're provided breakfast which was delicious. The boat was anchored in a lovely cove for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding. The water was beautiful, so clear and so many fish to see.
Highly recommended

It was a great afternoon trip. Our nice crew served good tasting lunch buffet and free drinks during the whole trip. My only consideration is the boat it self’s, old , a little bit dirty, wc didn’t work well actually in a need of refurbishing.
But I absolutely recommend the company, professional and nice al the way

Thanks for your review, the yacht is only 14 years old (NOT old for a yacht) but the wc (like on all yachts of a similar size) can be a bit temperamental, but a quiet word with the crew and it is usually adjusted and works perfectly for the rest of the trip.

Hallo,
Ich versuche es mal auf dem Weg. Leider komme ich mit meinem schlechten Englisch am Telefon nicht weiter.
Am Telefon hatte ich verstanden, das wir am Donnerstag um 09:00 Uhr noch für 4 Erwachsene die Katamaran-Tour (4 Stunden) buchen können. Wenn es möglich wäre würden wir aber lieber am Donnerstag, Freitag, oder Samstag um 13:30 mit euch fahren.
Könnt Ihr mir den Donnerstag 22.08. um 09:00 Uhr oder auch am Donnerstag, Freitag oder Samstag um 13:30 Uhr bestätigen?
Ich freue mich auf eine schnelle Antwort.
Beste Grüße
Werner Schiffer

Many thanks for your enquiry.
You are very welcome to sail with us this season, and you can either join another party onboard with one of our popular Day Charters, or you can charter the boat for an exclusive Private Charter. Prices start at €80 p.p. (half price for children aged 12 and under, and just a nominal €10 charge for infants 0-5)
We offer three x 4 hour all-inclusive cruises daily, with unlimited drinks, a delicious meal onboard, as well as watersports (swimming, snorkelling, kayak, stand up paddle board, speedboat rides and a donut ride too). We have a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 12 guests on each trip.
Full details are on our website ... cruise click on BOOK NOW and you can select the day and time you wish to sail using the online Calendar. You can select either a cruise with others to join you by simply adding the number of adults (@ €80 p.p.) and children aged 12 and under (@ €40 p.p.) in your party in the drop down boxes and then following the onscreen instructions, or if you wish to make a Private Charter reservation, then click on Add against the PRIVATE CHARTER x 8 box. Please note the minimum charge for a Private Charter is €640 for a 4 hour trip. You will be asked to pay a 25% deposit and the balance is payable to your skipper in cash at the end of the cruise (but only when you are completely satisfied ... that is our promise to you !!)
If your booking times out on the website and your places are no longer available, please just wait one hour, and they will automatically free up again. This is to prevent somebody else from taking your booking meanwhile. Please have all the information ready (names, card details) to prevent this from happening twice.
We hope to welcome you onboard shortly, but please be aware that we do get very busy through the summer months, so I would strongly urge you to make a reservation to avoid being disappointed.
We do not arrange pick-ups, but for transport to and from the marina, please contact our partner Paul who has a 17 seater luxury minibus. You can view contact details of Paul on our website here ...
Please do not hesitate to contact me again should you require any additional information.
Kind regards,
Mike

Buenas. Que precio tiene para unas horas para este sabado a la tarde o el domingo a la mañana??

Muchas gracias por su consulta.
Le invitamos a navegar con nosotros esta temporada, y puede unirse con otro grupo a bordo con uno de nuestros populares Charters de Día, o puede alquilar el barco para una Carta Privada exclusiva. Los precios comienzan en € 80 p.p. (la mitad del precio para niños menores de 12 años y sin cargo para bebés)
Ofrecemos tres cruceros todo incluido de 4 horas diarias, con bebidas ilimitadas, una deliciosa comida a bordo, así como deportes acuáticos (natación, buceo, kayak, paddleboard, paseos en lancha rápida y un paseo en donuts también). Tenemos un mínimo de 6 y un máximo de 12 huéspedes en cada viaje.
Los detalles completos se encuentran en nuestra pagina web ... haga clic en RESERVAR AHORA y puede seleccionar el día y la hora en que desea navegar utilizando el Calendario en línea. Puede seleccionar un crucero con otros para unirse a usted simplemente agregando el número de adultos (@ € 80 por persona) y niños de 12 años o menores (€ 40 por persona) en su grupo en los cuadros desplegables y luego siguiendo las instrucciones en pantalla o si desea hacer una reserva de Charter privado, haga clic en Agregar en el cuadro de CHARTER PRIVADO x 8.
Tenga en cuenta que el cargo mínimo por una Carta Privada es de € 640 por un viaje de 4 horas. Se le pedirá que pague un depósito del 25% y el saldo se pagará en efectivo al final del crucero (pero solo cuando esté completamente satisfecho ... ¡esa es nuestra promesa para usted!)
Si su reserva expira en el sitio web y sus lugares ya no están disponibles, espere una hora y se liberarán automáticamente nuevamente. Esto es para evitar que otra persona tome su reserva mientras tanto. Tenga a mano toda la información (nombres, detalles de la tarjeta) para evitar que esto suceda dos veces.
Esperamos darle la bienvenida a bordo en breve, pero tenga en cuenta que estamos muy ocupados durante los meses de verano, por lo que le recomiendo encarecidamente que haga una reserva para evitar decepciones.
Saludos cordiales,
Mike
