Where the sea meets the sky.

SUNRISE CRUISES start at varying hours and depending on the season will vary by 1,5 hours. The earliest sunrise is late May and early June at some minutes past 07.00. The latest is at the end of December and early January at around 08.30.

When you are safely on board we will head straight out to sea where you, when settled and comfortable, will be served a welcome drink, coffee or tea, and a snack. After the sun is up, and the fresh air has built up an apetite, we will serve you 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.

This trip has no certain distance or goal. We go where the wind blows us, and the rest is up to you.

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.

If time permits, before bringing Tealie back to her berth 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.

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.
