Experience the magic of the Mediterranean on a Marbella dolphin watching brunch cruise 2043. Departing from Puerto Banús at 10:00, this 2-hour morning voyage takes you into the open sea to spot wild dolphins in their natural habitat – all while enjoying a fresh brunch and drinks on board.
Why choose this cruise?
This is not a crowded tour boat. You charter the entire Azimut 39 – a 12.5m motor yacht – for your private group of up to 11 guests. The early start means calmer seas and higher chances of dolphin activity. The route heads west along the coast towards Cabopino, where bottlenose and common dolphins frequently feed near the underwater canyons.
What’s included in the brunch
Your brunch features a selection of fresh pastries, seasonal fruit, yoghurt, and a platter of local cheeses and cured meats. Drinks flow freely: water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava. Everything is included in the price – no hidden extras.

Price and value
At €749 for the whole boat (2 hours), this works out to just €68 per person for a group of 11. Compare that to mass-market dolphin tours charging €50–70 per person for a crowded boat – here you get privacy, flexibility, and a premium brunch.
Best months for dolphin sightings
Dolphins are present year-round in the Alboran Sea, but sightings peak from May to October. Water temperatures rise, and baitfish schools attract pods of up to 50 dolphins. Our skippers monitor local conditions and know the hotspots off Marbella and Estepona.
What to expect on the day
Meet at Puerto Banús at 09:45. Board the Azimut 39, meet your skipper, and receive a safety briefing. Cast off at 10:00. Cruise west at 20 knots, scanning the horizon for splashes and dorsal fins. Once dolphins are spotted, the skipper slows down for close-up viewing (keeping a respectful distance). Brunch is served while you watch. Return to Puerto Banús at 12:00.
