The first toast is before setting sail. We welcome you aboard the ARUAL at Marina Rubicón with a chilled bottle of French Champagne. You have the yacht to share with your loved ones and the Costa de Papagayo ahead of you.

As you leave the harbour behind, Castillo de San Marcial del Rubicón appears on the cliff. From the deck, the coastline unfolds beach by beach, from Las Coloradas to Papagayo. The volcanic rock, the light-colored sand, and the blue of the Atlantic change from one stretch to the next.

After sailing along the coast, we'll look for a good anchorage. When the engines are turned off, you'll want to linger for a moment and gaze at the water. Maybe you'll be the first to take the plunge, or maybe you'll prefer to stay on deck and watch the others jump into the sea. You can sunbathe on the floating sundeck, relax on the floating ring, or go for a swim with the snorkelling gear on board. If the sea and wind allow it, you can also go stand-up paddleboarding.

We want you to feel right at home. When you're in the mood for something cool, just open the deck cooler. We'll stock it for your group with cava, dry white wine from Rioja, beer, soft drinks, and bottled water. And when it's time for an starter, Manchego cheese, Iberian cold cuts, a Spanish omelette (tortilla de patatas), and bread await you at the table.

If you choose an option with a BBQ, the aroma of freshly prepared food on board will mingle with the breeze. It's a good time to get out of the water and sit down together at the table. And if you book a Sunset trip, you'll see how the light changes over the coastline as the afternoon gives way to sunset.

On the way back to Marina Rubicón, you may already have that moment that you'll talk about again when you mention Lanzarote. A toast, the first dip in the sea, or that conversation on deck that no one was in a hurry to end.
