Imagine gliding across the Mediterranean as the sun dips behind La Concha mountain, a glass of chilled champagne in hand, and the scent of salt and tapas in the air. Our Marbella sunset cruise with champagne & tapas 2027 is designed for couples, small groups, and anyone seeking a romantic evening on the Costa del Sol. Departing from Puerto Banús, you'll sail past the Golden Mile, Cabopino, and Cala del Faro, with the skipper handling everything. Prices start at €749 for two hours on an Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39, including drinks, snacks, and a licensed skipper. For a longer escape, upgrade to four hours (€1,499) or opt for the Mangusta 80 (€4,719 for 4h) with a free jet ski. This is not a generic tour—it's your private yacht, your sunset, your evening.
Why Choose a Private Sunset Cruise in Marbella?
Marbella's coastline offers some of the best sunset views in Europe. From Puerto Banús, you can watch the sky turn pink and orange over the Sierra Blanca mountains. A private cruise means no crowds, no set itineraries—just you, your guests, and the sea. Unlike packed catamaran tours, our yachts are exclusive to your party. The skipper can adjust the route based on your preferences: anchor near a quiet cove for a swim, cruise past the luxury villas of the Golden Mile, or stop at Cala del Faro for a photo. With champagne and tapas included, you don't need to worry about a thing. It's the kind of evening that turns a holiday into a memory.
Our Yachts for the Sunset Cruise
We offer a range of yachts departing from Puerto Banús. For a classic sunset charter, the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) or Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax) are ideal—both priced at €749/2h or €2,299/8h. If you want more space, the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) starts at €4,719 for 4 hours and includes a free jet ski. For larger groups, the Ferretti 94 (29m, 12 pax) or Canados 86 (26m, 12 pax) are available on request. All yachts come with a licensed skipper, fuel, insurance, and the champagne & tapas package. See our full fleet on the Marbella boat rental page.
What's Included in the Champagne & Tapas Package?
Every sunset charter includes a welcome glass of champagne or cava, plus a selection of tapas: local olives, marcona almonds, manchego cheese, Iberian ham, and sun-dried tomatoes. Throughout the cruise, you can enjoy white wine, beer, soft drinks, and sparkling water. The snacks are light—think grazing, not a full meal. If you have dietary restrictions, let us know 48 hours in advance. We can also arrange a custom menu (e.g., sushi, seafood platter) at an extra cost. The skipper will keep your glasses topped up as you watch the sunset. No hidden extras: the price includes all drinks, snacks, skipper, fuel, and 21% IVA.
Best Sunset Spots Along the Marbella Coast
Our skippers know the prime locations for sunset views. Here are the top spots you might visit:
- Cala del Faro – A secluded cove near the lighthouse, perfect for photos.
- Cabopino – Quiet anchorage with views of the dunes and the setting sun.
- Puerto Banús entrance – Watch the yachts sail in as the sky turns gold.
- La Concha mountain backdrop – The sun drops behind the iconic peak.
- Estepona coast – A longer cruise (4h+) for a panoramic horizon.
Your skipper will choose the best route based on wind and sea conditions. Typically, you'll head west from Puerto Banús towards Cala del Faro, then return as the lights of Marbella Marina twinkle on.
