Combine the thrill of sport fishing with the romance of a Mediterranean sunset on our Marbella fishing and sunset combo charter 2032. Spend the afternoon trolling for bonito, mackerel, or sea bass off the coast of Cabopino, then kick back with a glass of cava as the sun dips behind La Concha and the sky turns gold over Puerto Banús. All charters include a licensed skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and Spanish VAT — no hidden costs. Prices start at €749 for a 2-hour trip, or go all-in with an 8-hour day-to-dusk experience from €2,299 on our Tier A fleet.
This is the ultimate way to experience the Costa del Sol in a single afternoon: fishing by day, cruising by dusk, and arriving back at Puerto Banús as the marina lights flicker on. Read on for boat options, typical catches, and how to book your spot.
How the Combo Charter Works
Your skipper will meet you at Puerto Banús (pier 5, usually) at your chosen start time — typically 14:00 or 15:00. After a safety briefing, you'll head west or south-west toward the fishing grounds. The boat will anchor or drift over known reefs and baitfish schools 2–5 nautical miles offshore. You'll fish for 2–4 hours depending on your booking length, with all gear provided. Then, as the afternoon light softens, you'll cruise back along the coast, past the Golden Mile, Marbella Marina, and the silhouette of La Concha, arriving at Puerto Banús around sunset. The entire trip is relaxed and guided — you don't need any fishing experience.
Boat Options for Your Combo Charter
We offer two main tiers for the fishing-and-sunset experience. Tier A boats are ideal for small groups; Tier B adds space and a jet ski.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Astondoa 40 | 12.5m | 9 | €749 | €2,299 | Skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, VAT |
| Azimut 39 | 12.5m | 11 | €749 | €2,299 | Skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, VAT |

What You'll Catch (and What You Won't)
The Costa del Sol's waters are productive year-round, but catches vary by season. In spring and autumn, expect sea bass, bream, and mackerel. Summer brings bonito, bluefish, and small tuna (albacore) closer to shore. Your skipper will choose the spot based on recent activity and weather — common grounds include the reefs off Cabopino and the drop-offs near Cala del Faro. You're welcome to keep your catch; the crew will gut and bag it. If you'd like to eat your fish at a local restaurant, many in Puerto Banús will cook it for you for a small fee.
The Sunset Cruise: Marbella's Golden Hour
As the fishing wraps up, the boat turns east toward Marbella. The sunset leg is deliberately paced — you'll cruise at 8–12 knots, passing the cliffs of Cala Cortés, the mansions of the Golden Mile, and the promenade of Marbella Marina. The sky turns orange, then pink, then deep violet, with La Concha mountain forming a dramatic silhouette to the north. The skipper will cut the engine for a few minutes near the marina so you can take photos. Drinks flow throughout — beer, white wine, cava, soft drinks, and water are all included, along with light snacks (olives, crisps, nuts).
Why Book This Combo in 2032?
The 2032 season brings a few advantages: longer daylight hours in summer (sunset after 21:30 in June/July), warmer water temperatures (22–26°C) that attract more pelagic fish, and the continued upgrade of Puerto Banús facilities. Booking early ensures you get your preferred boat and date — especially for weekends and August, when demand peaks. Plus, our 72-hour free cancellation policy gives you flexibility if plans change.

Frequently asked questions
What time does the combo charter start?
Typically 14:00 or 15:00 from Puerto Banús. You'll fish until around 18:00–19:00, then cruise into sunset (sunset varies 20:30–21:30 depending on season). Your skipper adjusts the schedule for optimal light.
Do I need a fishing licence?
No – recreational fishing from a charter boat in Spain does not require a personal licence. The boat's insurance covers rod-and-line sport fishing. We provide basic tackle (rod, reel, bait, lures) on request.
What fish can we catch off Marbella?
Common catches include bonito, mackerel, sea bass, bream, and occasional amberjack. In summer, bluefish and small tuna (albacore) appear closer to shore. Your skipper knows the hot spots off Cabopino and Cala del Faro.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Your safety comes first. If the forecast shows high winds or rough seas, we'll reschedule at no cost or offer a full refund. The skipper monitors conditions up to departure – expect a call 24h before if changes are needed.
Can we keep the fish we catch?
Yes – you can keep your catch. The crew will gut and bag it for you. Many guests take it to a local restaurant (e.g., in Puerto Banús) for cooking, or you're welcome to take it back to your accommodation.
What's included in the sunset part?
The sunset cruise includes the same drinks and snacks as the fishing leg – water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light snacks. The skipper will cruise along the Marbella coastline past the Golden Mile and Marbella Marina, with La Concha as your backdrop.
Can I book a Tier B boat (Mangusta 80) for the combo?
Yes – the Mangusta 80 (white or grey) is available for 4+ hours from €4,719. It includes a free jet ski, so you could fish, jet-ski, then watch sunset. Max 12 pax. Contact us via WhatsApp for exact pricing.
How do I book the combo charter?
You can book directly via our website or WhatsApp. For Tier A boats (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39) you can reserve online with a deposit. For other boats, we'll confirm availability and send a payment link. All bookings include a 72h free cancellation policy.
