Three towns and four different meeting points. Puerto Banús has two, and they are easy to mix up.

The addresses and times are those of each Civitatis listing. We give no public transport directions because the listings give none.

1Malaga: Pier 1 of Paseo de la Farola

The catamaran leaves from Pier 1 (Muelle Uno) of Paseo de la Farola, in the port of Malaga. Go to Catamarán Mundo Marino Málaga 30 minutes before, whichever option you booked.

2Puerto Banús: the dolphin catamaran

Go to pontoon 1, berth 54-55. The pontoon gate is in front of the Dior and Dolce & Gabbana stores. The listing recommends arriving 15 minutes early.

3Puerto Banús: the sailboat

Find Auster Sailors at Calle Ribera 17, pontoon 4, berth 254. Arrive 20 minutes early. Do not confuse it with the catamaran's berth: they are two different pontoons.

4Estepona: Pantalán 5

The guide waits at the door of Pantalán 5 in Estepona marina, next to the El Greek del Puerto restaurant. Arrive 10 minutes early.
