Marbella’s date-night scene just got an upgrade. The La Sala Puerto Banús yacht combo pairs a sunset cruise from Puerto Banús with dinner at one of the Costa del Sol’s most stylish beachfront restaurants. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, popping the question, or simply treating yourselves, this two-part evening delivers Mediterranean views, fine food, and a boat that’s entirely yours for a few hours.
Why La Sala Puerto Banús?
La Sala isn’t just another beach club. Perched on the Golden Mile between Marbella and Puerto Banús, it’s a destination in its own right. Think white sofas, candlelit tables on the sand, and a menu that runs from grilled octopus to Wagyu burgers. The crowd is international, the music is lounge, and the sunset-facing terrace makes it the logical end point for any yacht charter.
Your Sunset Charter: What to Expect
We depart from Puerto Banús marina, the glitzy harbour that’s home to superyachts, designer boutiques, and a buzzing promenade. For a date-night combo, we recommend the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) or Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax) – both start at €749 for 2 hours and include skipper, fuel, and a drinks package. That’s water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light snacks. No hidden extras, no upselling.
If you want more time on the water, the 4-hour option (€1,499) lets you cruise to Cala del Faro or Cabopino and back. For a real statement, the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) is available from €4,719 for 4 hours and includes a jet ski – yes, you can race across the bay before dinner.
Typical Timeline for the Perfect Evening
- 18:00–18:30 – Board your boat at Puerto Banús. Welcome drink, safety briefing, and cast off.
- 18:30–20:00 – Cruise west along the coast. Pass the Golden Mile, spot La Concha mountain, and anchor briefly for a swim if the weather permits.
- 20:00–20:15 – Dock back at Puerto Banús. Taxi or walk to La Sala (5–15 minutes).
- 20:30–22:30 – Dinner at La Sala. Terrace table, grilled sea bass, a bottle of Albariño.
- 22:30+ – Stroll back along the beach or grab a nightcap at the marina.
How to Book the La Sala Puerto Banús Yacht Combo
Booking the charter is straightforward. You can reserve directly on our site or message us on WhatsApp. For the restaurant, we recommend booking La Sala at least a week in advance for weekend dates – they’re popular. Mention you’re coming from a yacht charter and they’ll often prioritise a terrace table.
If you’re planning a proposal or a special celebration, let us know. We can arrange champagne on board, a custom playlist, or a specific anchor spot for that golden-hour photo. Just drop us a message when you book.
Other Boats for the Combo
While the Astondoa 40 and Azimut 39 are our top picks for couples, here’s the full fleet that departs from Puerto Banús:
- Bandido (11.5m, 8 pax) – sporty, open-deck feel.
- Fairline Targa 12m (12m, 10 pax) – classic British build.
- Pershing 46 (14m, 10 pax) – sleek Italian performance.
- Lagoon 380 (11.6m, 10 pax) – catamaran stability, great for groups.
- Ferretti 94 (29m, 12 pax) – flybridge luxury for a splurge.
Prices for these are on request – just ask. Every boat includes the same all-inclusive package: skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and tax.
What to Wear and Bring
Marbella evenings are warm from June to September (25–30°C), but the sea breeze can cool things down after sunset. A light jacket or shawl is smart. For La Sala, smart-casual works – no need for heels or a tie, but flip-flops and beachwear are best left on the boat. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and your phone for photos. The boat has a Bluetooth speaker, so feel free to queue your own playlist.
Why This Combo Works
Marbella has no shortage of date-night options, but the La Sala Puerto Banús yacht combo is unique. You get private time on the water, a front-row seat to the sunset, and then a seamless transition to a restaurant that knows how to do romance. No queuing for taxis, no rushed Uber rides – just a short walk or drive from dock to dinner.
