From Puerto Banús, your skipper will typically head east towards Marbella's coastline. You'll pass the iconic Golden Mile with its luxury villas and hotels, then continue to Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés—small, sheltered coves perfect for dropping anchor. As the sun sinks behind La Concha mountain, the sky turns shades of orange and pink, creating a picture-perfect moment.

Either way, you'll return to Puerto Banús as the marina lights begin to twinkle.
