Capture the magic of the Costa del Sol from the water with a Marbella photoshoot yacht sunset session in 2047. Departing from Puerto Banús, our private charters put you in front of the golden-hour skyline, with La Concha mountain as a backdrop and the Mediterranean glittering below. Whether you're a content creator, a couple marking an occasion, or a brand shooting a campaign, a sunset yacht session offers unmatched lighting and exclusivity. Prices start at €749 for a 2-hour charter on our Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39, with all essentials included—no hidden fees.
Why a Sunset Yacht Photoshoot in Marbella?
Marbella's southern latitude gives you long, warm evenings, especially from May to September. The golden hour here is painterly—soft amber light bouncing off the water, the Sierra Blanca turning pink, and the Puerto Banús marina glowing behind you. A private yacht lets you control your backdrop: anchor near the iconic Marbella Marina for a glamorous look, or head towards Cala del Faro for a rugged, natural coastline. With a licensed skipper at the helm, you focus entirely on the shoot.

Planning Your Sunset Session: Timing & Itinerary
The golden hour in Marbella varies by season. In summer (June-August), sunset is around 21:30-22:00, so a 20:00-22:00 charter works perfectly. In spring and autumn, aim for 18:00-20:00. We'll confirm exact times at booking.
Typical itinerary: depart Puerto Banús, cruise east towards Cabopino for open-water shots, then anchor near Cala del Faro for the final golden minutes. Your skipper knows the best angles—just tell him your vision.
Photography Tips for the Best Results
- Book a 2-hour session to cover setup and multiple backdrops.

- Use the jet ski (on Mangusta 80) for high-energy shots.

Frequently Asked Questions
What boats are available for a photoshoot yacht sunset session in Marbella?
For a sunset photoshoot, we recommend the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39 (Tier A, €749/2h, max 9-11 pax) for an intimate shoot, or the Mangusta 80 (€4,719/4h, max 12 pax) for a larger production with a free jet ski. All depart from Puerto Banús and include a licensed skipper.
How long is a typical sunset photoshoot session?
The golden hour before sunset lasts roughly 60-90 minutes. We recommend a 2-hour charter (€749 for Tier A boats) to allow time to position the yacht, set up, and capture the best light. For extended shoots with outfit changes, a 4-hour charter is ideal.
Can I bring my own photographer?
Yes, you can bring your own photographer on any charter. The boat capacity includes the photographer, so check the max pax for your chosen yacht. Alternatively, we can arrange a professional photographer on request—just message us on WhatsApp for availability and rates.
What is included in the charter price?
Every charter includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). There are no hidden costs. For the Mangusta 80, a jet ski is also included free for the 4-hour minimum.
What is the best time for a sunset photoshoot in Marbella?
The golden hour in Marbella typically starts about 60-90 minutes before sunset. In summer (June-August), sunset is around 21:30-22:00, so a 20:00-22:00 charter works well. In spring/autumn, sunset is earlier—around 19:00-20:00. We'll advise on exact timing when you book.
Can we swim or use a jet ski during the photoshoot?
Absolutely. Many clients capture action shots on the jet ski (included on the Mangusta 80) or swimming in the calm waters near Cala del Faro. Just let the skipper know your plans; he'll anchor at a scenic spot with good light.
