"Dawn Approach" cruises - Costa del Sol

Uploaded by txemaprada on Jul 24, 2007
Sailing aboard the scottish ketch "Dawn Approach", in the Costa del Sol.
Based in the port of Fuengirola, Dawn Approach is a traditional wooden sailing ship built in Scotland in 1921. She is a gaff-rigged ketch, 80 feet in length and approximately 100 tonnes in weight, a superb example from the halcyon days of sail.
She fully complies with the MCA and European regulations, is meticulously maintained and beautifully appointed. Once on board you will find yourself in a unique world of gently curving beams, gleaming teak and polished brass.
Suddenly you have a venue extraordinaire for those special business get-togethers, the conferences that mould futures or informal téte to tétes that thrive when total privacy is assured.
If you prefer there is a simple three-hour cruise with sandwiches where you can relax and top up your suntan or help us look for the dolphins. A wonderful Sunset Cruise & BBQ is also catered for with tasty flame grilled meats and a delicious selection of salads.
If you're looking for a relaxing evening on the water, the Dawn approach may be just the ticket. I found this yacht cruise online and was able to make reservations via e-mail without having to pay anything until we actually got there. The Dawn Approach is anchored at the port in Fuengirola. They offer sunset sailings as well as lunch time cruises. We took the sunset BBQ cruise which began promptly at 7pm. The crew members were very knowledgeable of the boat's history and served drinks, for sale, during the cruise. After heading out from Fuengirola we were able to see up and down the Sun Coast, from beautiful Benalmadena down to Mijas. How far you go depends on the tide and the winds, and the crew willingly accepts help in raising the sails on this historic vessel.
After about 2 hours on the water, watching the birds, feeling the wind on your face, and for those who aren't used to sailing on a small vessel, having your tummy do somersaults over the waves, we returned to the pier to dine on a barbecue meal prepared by the Dawn Approach crew on deck. We were one of two pairs of honeymooners on board that night and were treated to a bottle of Cava with our meal.
Overall, the staff is very friendly, the food was okay, and it was a good evening outing.
