Where the sea meets the sky.

The trip starts when you are safely aboard and are served a welcome drink, our preference being something chilled and bubbly, but other options are of course available.

Before setting sail we will take a ten minute detour and follow the canal to the inner parts of Sotogrande marina, past the luxurious and colourful apartments at the frontline of the canal. Returning we will head straight out to sea going south-west towards Europa Point.

When you are settled and comfortable, and the fresh sea air has built up an apetite, we will prepare an all-inclusive buffet which you can enjoy in the saloon, in the cockpit at the Captain's table or on deck by yourself, giving you time to enjoy the tranquility of the sea.

If you chose a sunrise cruise and the morning fog has lifted we can promise you amazing views of the meeting of three countries and two continents. Spain and Gibraltar in Europe and Morocco on the northern coast of Africa. We have seen whales and dolphins on numerous trips, but unfortunately we can not promise you this on your particular trip, but don't loose faith, keep a close lookout and hopefully they will show up to greet you.

If the time is right heading back, you might witness a spectacular sunset, the light fading beyond Costa del Sol and Gibraltar.

PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS

Before boarding Tealie, we would like to pass on some friendly tips.

Even though it is warm and sunny when you board Tealie, the sea air can get humid and chilly, especially around sunset. For your own comfort, we recommend bringing a warm jumper or jacket. But not to worry, we have blankets aboard should you forget.
Please bring proper shoes. The deck and floor might be slippery with water and we want to avoid all accidents. Our favourite shoes are Sketchers with rubber soles but if the weather is warm enough, barefoot is a good option.
We have life vests for those not feeling too comfortable aboard, also for medium sized pets.
The all-inclusive buffet includes food and drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. If you have any allergies or have some special dietary wishes or needs, please let us know.
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

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

Buy antihistamines, either prescription or over-the-counter, at drug stores or supermarkets. The major ones are cyclizine (Marezine) and dimenhydrinate (Dramamine). If you have children between the ages of 2 and 12, dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) or diphenhydramine (Benadryl) might be helpful. Always check with your doctor or the pharmacist, and read the label well before taking the medicine.
Get a scopolamine (Transderm Scop) from your doctor. It's an adhesive patch you put behind your ear a few hours before you come aboard.
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, or shut your eyes, and keep your head still.
Follow the horizon, don't look down or read.
Dry, salty crackers might help.
Anything with ginger, i.e. Ginger ale.

If nothing of the above helps, we will give you a bucket and head back to the marina.

Your pet, furry or not, is welcome to join us.
