Capture the Mediterranean at its most magical hour with a sunset photoshoot yacht Marbella 2040 session. This 2-hour private charter from Puerto Banús pairs a luxury boat with a professional photographer, so you get stunning golden-hour portraits without any of the logistics. Whether it's a couples' shoot, a family album update, or content for your social feed, the combination of a sleek yacht, open sea, and the Costa del Sol sunset creates a backdrop that's hard to beat.
Why a 2040 sunset photoshoot yacht Marbella session works
The golden hour on the Mediterranean lasts roughly 60–90 minutes, and our session is timed to make the most of it. Departing from Puerto Banús, you'll cruise along the coast toward Cabopino or the Marbella Marina, depending on wind and light conditions. The photographer will guide you through poses, use natural light, and incorporate the yacht's lines and the distant La Concha mountain into the frame. All images are edited and delivered digitally within five working days.
Which boats are available for the photoshoot
We offer five boats for this experience, each departing from Puerto Banús. The Dubhe (8m, 5 pax) and Speedboat (7m, 6 pax) are ideal for intimate couples' sessions. For larger groups, the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) and Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax) provide more deck space and a flybridge for varied angles. The Lagoon 380 (11.6m, 10 pax) is a catamaran with a stable platform and a trampoline net—great for candid shots. All boats include a licensed skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, and insurance.

Best spots for sunset photos on the Marbella coast
Our skippers know the prime anchorages for sunset light. Common locations include Cala del Faro, just east of Puerto Banús, where the cliffs catch the last rays; Cala Cortés, a quieter cove near Cabopino; and the waters off the Golden Mile, where the sky reflects off the luxury villas. The photographer will choose the best spot based on wind and cloud cover to maximise the golden-hour glow.
How to prepare for your photoshoot session
Wear what makes you feel confident—flowy dresses, linen shirts, or swimwear all work well. Avoid large logos or busy patterns that distract from the background. Bring a change of clothes if you want two looks. The boat has a small cabin where you can change. Sunscreen is essential, even at sunset, as the sea reflects UV rays. Arrive 15 minutes early at Puerto Banús to meet the skipper and photographer.
