Combine the thrill of sport fishing with the romance of a Mediterranean sunset on a single charter from Marbella. The fishing and sunset combo charter Marbella 2038 lets you spend the afternoon casting lines off the Costa del Sol, then cruise back to Puerto Banús as the sky turns gold and pink. It’s a full-day escape that works for anglers, couples, and small groups alike.
How the combo works
You meet your skipper at Puerto Banús around 14:00. After a safety briefing, you head west or east depending on the day’s fishing conditions. The skipper knows the best spots near Cabopino, Cala del Faro, or Estepona. You fish for 2–3 hours with provided tackle and bait. Then, as the sun lowers, you motor to a calm anchorage, drop anchor, and enjoy cold drinks, snacks, and the sunset. You’re back at Puerto Banús by 20:00–21:00.
Boats for the combo
We recommend two boats for this experience:
- Astondoa 40 – 12.5m, 9 passengers, €749/2h or €2,299/8h
- Azimut 39 – 12.5m, 11 passengers, same pricing
Both depart from Puerto Banús and include a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, and 21% VAT. Fishing gear and bait are included at no extra cost.
What’s included in the price
- Licensed English-speaking skipper
- Fuel for the entire trip
- Water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava
- Light snacks (chips, olives, nuts, fruit)
- Fishing rods, reels, and bait
- Insurance and Spanish VAT (21%)
- Towel set and sun protection on request
Best time for the combo
The prime season runs from April to October. In June and July, sunset is around 21:30, giving you a long golden hour. Water temperatures in summer reach 24–26 °C, so fish are active. Spring and autumn offer cooler air (20–25 °C) and fewer crowds. Winter charters are possible but sunset is earlier (18:00) and fish are less active.
What to bring
- Sunscreen (SPF 50+)
- Sunglasses and a hat
- Light jacket or windbreaker for the evening
- Camera or phone for sunset photos
- Swimwear if you want to dip in after fishing
- Extra snacks or drinks (no glass)
Why choose this combo over separate trips
Booking a single combo saves time and money. You avoid two separate bookings, two deposits, and two trips to the marina. The flow from fishing to sunset is seamless — no rushing back to shore. And you get the same skipper all day, so the experience feels personal. Prices start at €749 for 2 hours (fishing + sunset) or €2,299 for 8 hours (full day).
Nearby anchorages for sunset
Depending on wind and swell, your skipper may anchor at:
- Cala del Faro – a small cove west of Marbella with calm water
- Cala Cortés – a sheltered bay near Estepona
- Off Puerto Banús – with direct views of the port lights and La Concha
Each spot offers a different perspective of the coast. The skipper will choose the best option for the day.
