Why choose a sunset cruise in Marbella
Marbella's south-facing coastline means you get direct sunset views over the water from May to October. The Golden Mile, the Sierra Blanca, and the silhouette of La Concha create a backdrop that changes colour every minute. A two-hour window from 19:00 to 21:00 gives you the golden hour, the actual sunset, and the first stars — all without rushing.
Unlike a day charter, the evening sail is cooler, quieter, and more intimate. The sea breeze drops, the crowds thin out, and you can anchor off Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés for a swim stop if the light permits.

Best time of year for a sunset cruise in Marbella
Sunset times in Marbella range from 18:15 in December to 21:45 in June. Our 19:00–21:00 slot works well from April to October, when the sun sets after 20:00. In summer (June–August), you get a full golden hour from 20:30 onwards, with the sky turning pink and orange until 21:30. In spring and autumn, the light is softer and the sea is calmer.
Average sea temperature in summer is 24–26°C, so a swim stop is comfortable. Bring a light jacket for the evening breeze.
