Christmas Itineraries from Puerto Banús to Sotogrande
Your charter begins at Puerto Banús, Marbella. From there, a 30-nautical-mile cruise east takes you past the Golden Mile, Cabopino, and the dunes of Artola before reaching Sotogrande. The journey takes about 1.5 hours on a motor yacht like the Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m, 12 pax). Once in Sotogrande, enjoy the marina’s Christmas lights, dine at a waterfront restaurant, or drop anchor in the bay for a swim (water temperature permitting). Return at sunset for a magical finish.
