Best Time for a Sunset Cruise in Marbella
Sunset times vary by season. In summer (June to August), sunset occurs around 21:30, so we recommend a 19:30 or 20:00 departure. In spring and autumn, sunset is between 19:00 and 20:30. Winter sunsets are earlier (18:00–18:30). We adjust departure times to ensure you catch the best colours. The water temperature in summer averages 24–26 °C, perfect for a dip if you choose a boat with a swim platform.
Suggested Itinerary for Your Evening Cruise
A typical sunset cruise from Puerto Banús heads west towards Estepona or east towards Cabopino. You can anchor near Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés for a swim stop (weather permitting). The skipper will recommend the best route based on wind and sea conditions. For a longer cruise, head towards Sotogrande or even Gibraltar on a clear day. All itineraries are flexible—just discuss with your skipper.
