Combine the thrill of deep-sea fishing with the tranquillity of a sunset cruise on this Marbella fishing and sunset combo charter 2041. Departing from Puerto Banús, you spend the first part of the afternoon trolling the clear waters off the Costa del Sol for dentex, sea bass, or mackerel, then ease into golden hour with a glass of cava as the sun dips behind La Concha. This half-day experience is perfect for groups of up to 11 guests, with all gear, bait, drinks, and snacks included from €749. No experience needed — just show up at the marina and let the skipper handle the rest.
How the Fishing and Sunset Combo Works
The charter splits into two distinct parts. First, you head out from Puerto Banús towards the fishing grounds near Cabopino or Estepona, depending on conditions. The skipper sets up trolling lines or bottom rigs, and you fish for 1.5–2 hours. After that, the boat cruises back along the coastline as the sun sets, with drinks and snacks served. The total duration is flexible — book 2 hours (€749) for a quick taste, or up to 8 hours (€2,299) for a full day on the water.
Which Boats Are Available for the Combo
We recommend two boats from our fleet for this experience:
- Astondoa 40 — 12.5m, up to 9 passengers, spacious flybridge for sunset viewing.
- Azimut 39 — 12.5m, up to 11 passengers, comfortable cockpit and sunpad area.
Both depart from Puerto Banús and include a licensed skipper, fuel, fishing gear, bait, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, and 21% VAT. For larger groups, inquire about our Marbella boat rental options.
What You Can Expect to Catch
The waters off Marbella are rich with Mediterranean species. Depending on the season and sea conditions, you might hook dentex, sea bass, bream, mackerel, or even amberjack and small tuna. The skipper uses trolling lures or natural bait, and adjusts the fishing spot based on real-time sonar and local knowledge. All fish are released unless you arrange to keep your catch for a local restaurant to prepare.
Sunset Cruise Along the Costa del Sol
As the fishing wraps up, the boat turns toward the coast. You’ll cruise past the Golden Mile, the Marbella Marina, and the iconic La Concha peak. The skipper finds a calm spot to anchor or drift while you enjoy drinks and watch the sky turn orange and pink. This part lasts about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the charter duration.
Best Time of Year for the Combo
The prime season runs from May to October, when sea temperatures are warm (18–26°C) and sunsets are reliably spectacular. July and August offer the longest daylight hours, while May and September provide quieter conditions with fewer crowds. Winter charters are possible but less predictable due to wind and shorter daylight.
