Experience the magic of a Marbella sunset cruise with champagne and tapas in 2030. Depart from Puerto Banús aboard a premium motor yacht, with the golden sun dipping behind La Concha mountain. Our Boat Rental Marbella fleet offers Tier A boats like the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39 from €749 for 2 hours, including skipper, fuel, and a full bar. Toast the evening with chilled cava, nibble on local tapas, and watch the Costa del Sol skyline glow. This is the most refined way to end a day on the Mediterranean.
Why Choose a Sunset Cruise in Marbella?
Marbella’s coastline transforms at sunset. The light softens over the sea, the crowds thin, and the water turns glassy. A sunset cruise lets you see the coast from Cabopino to Estepona in a calm, intimate setting. You’ll pass iconic landmarks like the Golden Mile and the Marbella Marina, all while sipping champagne. With our experienced skipper, you can relax and soak in the views without any logistics. The temperature drops to a pleasant 22-26°C in summer evenings, making it perfect for outdoor dining.
What’s Included in Your Sunset Cruise
Every sunset charter includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks (tapas), insurance, and safety equipment. Champagne is served as part of the drinks package. The tapas selection features Spanish classics: Iberian ham, manchego cheese, marinated olives, patatas bravas, and fresh seafood like gambas al ajillo. All prices include Spanish IVA (21%). You don’t need to bring anything except your camera and a light jacket.

Sample Itinerary for a 2-Hour Sunset Cruise
Depart Puerto Banús at 19:30 (adjustable for season). Cruise west towards Cala del Faro and Cala Cortés, anchoring briefly for photos and swimming if conditions allow. The skipper will serve champagne and tapas as the sun sets. Return to port by 21:30, with the lights of Marbella reflecting on the water. For longer charters, you can extend to Estepona or Sotogrande.
Best Time of Year for a Sunset Cruise
Sunset cruises are available from April to October, with peak season in July and August. In summer, sunset occurs around 21:30, so a 2-hour cruise from 19:30 is ideal. Spring and autumn offer milder temperatures and fewer boats, making for a more intimate experience. Book early for August dates, as demand is high.
