April 2035 is shaping up to be a prime month for a Puerto Banús yacht charter, especially with Easter falling on 1 April. Spring brings mild air temperatures, moderate sea conditions, and fewer crowds than summer — perfect for a relaxed cruise along the Marbella coastline. Whether you're planning a family outing or a group celebration, knowing what to expect from the weather and sea can make all the difference. Here's everything you need to plan your April charter in Puerto Banús.

Sea conditions and sailing tips for April
The Mediterranean in April is generally calm, with wave heights of 0.5–1.5m. Afternoon breezes can create a slight chop, but our skippers know the best sheltered spots along the coast. Popular April routes include cruising east to Cabopino (20 min) or west to Cala del Faro and Estepona (45 min). If you're keen on swimming, late April offers the warmest sea temperatures. For sunset lovers, a late afternoon charter (18:00–20:00) captures the golden hour over La Concha mountain.
Easter 2035: what to expect and how to prepare
Easter Sunday 2035 is on 1 April, making it one of the earliest Easters in recent years. This means Puerto Banús will be busy, but the sea remains uncrowded compared to summer. We recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance for larger yachts like the Mangusta 80 or Ferretti 94. Tier A boats (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39) often sell out 2–3 weeks before Easter. All charters include drinks and snacks, but you can arrange catering or a BBQ on request. Dress in layers: a light jacket for morning breezes, swimwear for midday sun.
Where to anchor and what to see in April
April is a great month to explore the Marbella coastline and nearby coves. Top spots include Cala del Faro (a quiet rocky cove near Estepona), Cala Cortés (sheltered bay with clear water), and the Río Verde area. For lunch stops, Puerto Banús itself has numerous beach clubs and restaurants. If you want a longer cruise, head to Sotogrande (1 hour west) or Málaga (1.5 hours east). Our skippers will tailor the route to your preferences.
