Which Boat to Choose for April Charters
Small groups (up to 5 pax) suit the Dubhe (8m) or Mariah SX21 (6.4m) – both nimble and fuel-efficient. For 8–10 guests, the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39 are excellent value at €749 for 2 hours or €2,299 for 8 hours (skipper, drinks, and VAT included). Larger parties (12 pax) can opt for the Mangusta 80 (white or grey) at €4,719 minimum 4 hours, or the luxurious Ferretti 94 (29m) and Canados 86 (26m) – pricing on request via WhatsApp. All depart from Puerto Banús and include a licensed skipper, fuel, insurance, and refreshments.
Best Routes for an April Boat Trip
From Puerto Banús, head east to Cabopino (20 minutes) – a quiet cove with golden sand and calm waters. Or go west to Estepona (30 minutes) for a charming marina and beachside restaurants. For more seclusion, Cala del Faro and Cala Cortés offer sheltered anchorages. The coast is less crowded than in June–August, so you’ll enjoy more privacy. If you have a full day, push further to Sotogrande (45 minutes) for a luxurious stop. All routes benefit from light winds and stable conditions in April.
