Capture the Costa del Sol at its most photogenic during a two-hour sunset photoshoot yacht session in Marbella 2038. Departing from Puerto Banús aboard a sleek Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39, you’ll cruise the coastline as the sun sinks behind La Concha mountain. The package costs €749 for up to 9 guests (Astondoa 40) or 11 guests (Azimut 39) — all-inclusive with skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, and Spanish IVA. No hidden fees, no upselling. Just golden light, chilled cava, and a private yacht as your studio.
Why a sunset photoshoot yacht session in Marbella?
Marbella’s southern exposure means the sun sets directly over the Mediterranean, casting warm tones on white hulls and the Sierra Blanca peaks. A private yacht gives you unobstructed 360-degree views, zero crowds, and the freedom to choose your backdrop — from the luxury yachts of Puerto Banús to the rugged cliffs of Cala Cortés. Professional photographers love the consistent light between 19:00 and 21:00 from May to September. For influencers, couples, or brand shoots, this is the most efficient way to get high-quality content in a single session.
Which yachts are available for your sunset shoot?
We offer two ideal vessels for the 2-hour sunset session:
- Astondoa 40 — 12.5 metres, up to 9 guests, €749/2h. Open-plan layout with ample deck space for group shots.
- Azimut 39 — 12.5 metres, up to 11 guests, €749/2h. Sleek Italian design with a spacious flybridge for elevated angles.
Both depart from Puerto Banús and include a licensed skipper, fuel, insurance, drinks (water, soft drinks, beer, cava, white wine), and light snacks. For larger groups or different aesthetics, ask about our full fleet via WhatsApp — including the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) or Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m, 12 pax) for longer charters.

Best spots for sunset photos along the Marbella coast
Your skipper will tailor the route based on wind and light, but typical highlights include:
- Puerto Banús entrance — iconic with superyachts and the Andalusia skyline.
- Cala del Faro — a quiet cove with rock formations that catch warm light.
- Marbella Marina — the old port with traditional fishing boats contrasts with modern yachts.
- Río Verde coastline — golden cliffs and pine forests frame the horizon.
- La Concha mountain — visible from the sea, especially striking at sunset.
If you book a longer charter (4h or 8h), you can extend to Cabopino or Estepona for even more variety.
