Imagine spending the afternoon reeling in dorado or tuna off the Costa del Sol, then sipping cava as the sun melts into the Mediterranean. That’s exactly what a Marbella fishing and sunset combo charter 2027 delivers — two iconic experiences in one seamless day. Departing from Puerto Banús, this 8-hour charter combines sport fishing with a sunset cruise, all with a licensed skipper, drinks, snacks, and fuel included. Prices start at €2,299 for up to 12 guests on our Tier A boats.
Why Choose a Fishing and Sunset Combo in Marbella?
Marbella’s coastline offers some of the best fishing grounds in the Mediterranean, with species like dorado, tuna, mackerel, and bream in season. After a productive afternoon, you’ll cruise back along the Golden Mile as the sky turns orange and pink. It’s a full-day adventure that avoids the rush — no early starts, no rushed returns. Just fishing, then sunset.
How the Combo Charter Works
Your day begins at 14:00 at Puerto Banús. The skipper will take you to proven fishing spots off Estepona or Cabopino, depending on conditions. You’ll fish for roughly 4 hours with all tackle and bait provided. Around 18:00, we switch to sunset mode: anchor up, pour a drink, and cruise slowly along the Marbella shoreline as the sun sets behind La Concha. You’ll be back at the marina by 22:00.
Which Boats Are Available?
We offer two pricing tiers for this combo:
- Tier A (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39): €2,299 for 8 hours, up to 11 guests.

What You’ll Catch
Target species vary by season. From spring to autumn, expect dorado (mahi-mahi), bluefin tuna, mackerel, and bream. Our skippers know the local waters intimately — they’ll take you to the most productive spots off the coast of Marbella, Estepona, and Sotogrande. You keep what you catch, or we can recommend a restaurant in Puerto Banús to cook it for you.
The Sunset Cruise: A Magical Finish
As the fishing lines come in, the real show begins. The sunset from the water is unforgettable — the sky colours reflect off the calm sea, and La Concha mountain frames the horizon. We’ll cruise past the luxury villas of the Golden Mile, the Marbella Marina, and maybe as far as Cabopino. It’s the perfect way to wind down after an active afternoon.
