Sunset Timing and Best Months
For a dinner cruise, you want to catch sunset over the water. In Marbella, sunset times vary by season:
- June–August: Sunset around 21:30. Depart at 19:00–20:00 for a golden hour cruise.
- September–October: Sunset 20:00–21:00. Start 17:00–18:00.
- April–May: Sunset 20:00–21:00. Similar timing.
The best months for evening charters are May through October, when temperatures are warm (25–30°C) and seas are calm. Even in July and August, the evening breeze keeps things comfortable.
Sample Dinner Cruise Itinerary
A typical 3–4 hour evening cruise might look like this:
- 18:30 – Board at Puerto Banús. Meet your skipper, enjoy welcome drinks.
- 19:00 – Depart west toward Estepona. Cruise along the Golden Mile, past the Marbella Club and Puente Romano.
- 19:45 – Anchor at Cala Cortés or Cala del Faro. Swim in the calm cove, then enjoy dinner served on deck.

Your skipper can adjust the route—some prefer to head east toward Cabopino or stay near the bay for a shorter trip.
