Capture the golden hour over the Mediterranean with a private sunset photoshoot yacht session in Marbella. Departing from Puerto Banús, this 2-hour charter is perfect for couples, influencers, or anyone wanting stunning photos against the Costa del Sol sunset. Choose from the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) or the Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax) – both at a flat rate of €749, including skipper, drinks, snacks, and all taxes. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Why a Sunset Photoshoot on a Yacht?
Marbella’s sunset is legendary – the sky turns shades of orange, pink, and purple over the Mediterranean. A private yacht gives you an unobstructed view, away from crowded beaches. You control the backdrop: the silhouette of La Concha mountain, the luxury yachts of Puerto Banús, or the open sea. With a licensed skipper handling the boat, you focus entirely on the shoot.
Choose Your Yacht
Both options are modern, well-maintained motor yachts departing from Puerto Banús. They offer spacious decks, comfortable seating, and plenty of natural light for photography.
| Yacht | Length | Max Guests | Price (2h) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Astondoa 40 | 12.5m | 9 | €749 |
| Azimut 39 | 12.5m | 11 | €749 |
Both charters include a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, and Spanish IVA (21%). No extra costs.
What to Expect on the Day
You’ll meet your skipper at Puerto Banús, just a short walk from the main marina. After a safety briefing, you’ll cruise along the coast towards Cabopino or Estepona, depending on wind conditions. The skipper will position the boat for the best light. You have full freedom to move around the yacht – bow, stern, flybridge, or cockpit. Bring your own photographer or hire one locally. We recommend arriving 15 minutes early to set up.
Best Time for Sunset Photos
In summer (June to September), sunset occurs between 21:00 and 21:30. We typically depart at 18:00 or 19:00 to allow time to reach a scenic spot and shoot during the golden hour. In spring and autumn, sunset is earlier (18:00–20:00), so departure times adjust accordingly. We confirm exact times upon booking.
