Some of the moments we love most by being out at sea is looking up at a starlit sky after the sun has set, and if it is on that particular day of the month the sea will be lit up by a full moon.
What better way to end a day than aboard a sailboat, watching the sun dip behind the horizon with a glass of bubbly while witnessing nature painting the sky with it´s extraordinary colour palette?
SUNSET CRUISES start at varying hours and depending on the season they will vary by almost four hours. The earliest sunset is at the beginning of December at a few minutes past six and the latest at the end of June beginning of July at a quarter to ten.
When you are safely aboard we will head straight out to sea where you will be served a bubbly welcome drink, snack and refreshments. Before the sun leaves us we will serve you a lunch pack and more refreshments, accompanied by a spectacular sunset with the light fading beyond Costa del Sol and Gibraltar.
On the brightest days we can guarantee you spectacular views of the meeting of three countries and two continents. Spain and Gibraltar in Europe and Morocco on the northern coast of Africa. Feel free to go for a night swim, we will not be joining you but maybe some dolphins will?
Before bringing Tealie back to her berth we will take a ten minute detour down the canal to the inner parts of Sotogrande marina, past the luxurious and colourful apartments at the frontline of the canal.
Below is a summary of photos from our shorter trips around Sotogrande to our longer trips to the Balearic Islands, Madeira, the Canary Islands and Morocco, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean. The sun that leaves us every day is the same but all sunsets are spectacular and unique.

Although hot on land, the sea air can get humid and chilly, especially around sunset. For your own comfort, we recommend bringing a warm jumper or jacket.
Please bring proper shoes with white, rubber soles. The deck is slippery when wet and we wish to avoid any accidents. If the weather is warm enough, barefoot is a good option.
We have life vests for those not feeling too comfortable aboard, also for small kids and medium sized pets.
If you wish to let your family and friends know where you are sailing, they can follow you by searching for TEALIE on VesselFinder or by clicking on MarineTraffic.
Motion sickness is the worst, especially wobbling on a sailboat with no immediate escape. However, if you tend to get motion sick, don't worry, there are some precautions to take before and during the trip.
BEFORE THE TRIP
Check with your doctor or pharmasist which medicines or patches to be recommended. The adhesive patch is put behind your ear a few hours before boarding. We have pills and wrist bracelets if needed.
Buy a pack of lozenges, preferably something with ginger.
Do not eat a big meal before boarding.
Lay of alcohol, caffeine and drink lots of water.
Bring a distraction - like music with headphones.
DURING THE TRIP
If you brought music, listen to it as it might add some distraction.
Find a better spot. Many find relief by taking the helm.
Lie down if you can, keep your head still, shut your eyes or follow the horizon. Whatever is best for you.
We will provide something salty, like chips or crackers, green apples, i.e. Granny Smith, anything with ginger, i.e. lozenges.
Drink ginger ale or ginger tea, Coca-Cola, the real stuff.
If nothing of the above helps, we will give you a bucket and head back to Sotogrande.
