Not everyone wants to charter a whole boat, and not everyone needs to. A group excursion lets you enjoy the coast from the water in a friendly, social setting, often at a lower cost per person than a private charter. Lumière Privée helps guests and groups find the right catamaran experience along the Costa del Sol.
A group excursion is a scheduled trip that you share with other guests, or a group-sized booking arranged around your party. Instead of building a private itinerary, you join a set outing, with a crew handling navigation, safety and the route.
It suits travellers who want a simple, well-organised day on the water without planning every detail.
You arrive at the marina, meet the crew and receive a safety briefing. The boat then heads out along the coast, and you can relax, swim if conditions allow, and take photos. Sails may be used when the wind cooperates, though the engine is often needed on calmer days.
Exact schedules, durations and departure points depend on the excursion you choose. Confirm these with us when you enquire.
An easy outing that suits mixed ages. Let us know the ages in your group so we can advise on suitability.
A relaxed way to enjoy the sea and meet other travellers without the cost of a private boat.
If you have a bigger party, tell us your numbers early. We can discuss whether a group excursion or a private charter fits better.
Depending on the trip, guests may enjoy swimming stops, sunbathing on deck, snorkelling and possible wildlife sightings. Dolphins are seen in these waters, but never guaranteed. What is offered on each outing, including refreshments and equipment, is confirmed at booking.
When to go: Warm months bring the best swimming conditions. Spring and autumn can be quieter and pleasantly mild, and sunset outings are popular in summer.
What to bring: Sun cream, a hat, swimwear, a towel and soft-soled shoes. A light layer helps once you are back under way.
Weather: Safety comes first. If conditions are unsuitable, the crew will discuss alternatives with you.
Accessibility: If anyone in your group has mobility needs, tell us before booking so we can advise on boarding.
