Few experiences rival a Marbella sunset cruise with champagne & tapas 2034. As the sun sinks behind the silhouette of La Concha mountain, you’ll be floating on the Mediterranean with a glass of cava in hand, nibbling Spanish tapas, and watching the sky turn gold, pink, and violet. This is the Costa del Sol at its most magical – and it’s entirely private, just you and your group.
Our sunset cruises depart from Puerto Banús, Marbella’s glamorous marina, and run on a fleet of well-maintained motor yachts and sailboats. Prices start at €749 for two hours on the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39, including skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, and 21% VAT. Larger groups can upgrade to the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 guests) from €4,719 for four hours, which includes a free jet ski.
Why choose a sunset cruise in Marbella?
Marbella’s position on the southwestern coast of Spain means you get long, slow sunsets over the water – often with clear skies and calm seas. Unlike daytime charters, the evening light is softer, the sea breeze cools the air, and the crowds are back on land. It’s the perfect end to a day on the Golden Mile or a shopping trip in Puerto Banús.
Our boats are private charters – no strangers, no set itineraries. You decide the pace: anchor for a swim at Cala del Faro, cruise past the mansions of Río Verde, or simply drift and watch the colours change. Every charter includes a licensed skipper who knows the best spots and will handle all navigation.
What’s included in the champagne & tapas package
Every sunset charter comes with the following inclusions:
- Licensed English-speaking skipper
- Fuel for the full duration
- Water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava (or champagne upgrade)
- Light snacks: olives, cured meats, cheese, bread, and seasonal fruit
- Insurance and safety equipment (life jackets, fire extinguisher, first aid)
- Spanish IVA (21%) – no hidden taxes
You can bring your own food or upgrade to a premium tapas platter (charges apply). For birthdays, proposals, or celebrations, we can arrange a cake, flowers, or a dedicated photographer – just ask.
Which boat is best for a sunset cruise?
For intimate groups of 2–9, the Astondoa 40 (12.5m) is ideal: spacious sundeck, bimini shade, and a price of €749 for 2 hours. The Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 guests) offers similar comfort with a sportier profile.
For larger parties up to 12 guests, the Mangusta 80 (24m) at €4,719 for 4 hours includes a free jet ski – perfect for an adrenaline boost before sunset. The Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m) and Ferretti 94 (29m) offer flybridge lounges with panoramic sunset views.
If you prefer sailing, the Lagoon 380 catamaran (11.6m, 10 guests) provides a stable, quiet ride – great for sunset photography. All boats depart from Puerto Banús.
Typical sunset cruise itinerary
A 2-hour sunset cruise usually follows this route:
- Depart Puerto Banús – 10–15 minutes to clear the marina
- Head west along the coast towards Cabopino or Estepona
- Anchor at Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés for a swim (if weather allows)
- Serve cava and tapas as the sun sets (approx. 30 minutes)
- Return to Puerto Banús under the stars
Longer charters (3–4 hours) can extend to Sotogrande or include a dinner stop at a beach club. Let us know your preferences when booking.

Larger options like the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 guests) start at €4,719 for 4 hours and include a free jet ski. All prices include skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, and VAT.
What is included in the champagne and tapas package?
Every charter includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light snacks. The 'champagne & tapas' experience adds a bottle of cava or champagne and a selection of Spanish tapas – olives, cured meats, cheese, and bread. You can upgrade to premium champagne or request specific dietary requirements.
What time does a sunset cruise depart?
Departure time depends on the season. In summer (June–August), sunset is around 21:30, so we typically depart at 19:30–20:00 for a 2-hour cruise. In spring and autumn, sunset is earlier, so departures shift to 18:00–19:00. We confirm the exact time when you book.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
Yes, you are welcome to bring additional food or drinks on board. However, the charter already includes drinks (cava, wine, beer, soft drinks) and snacks, so most guests find that sufficient. Glass bottles are allowed, but please handle them carefully on deck.
Is a sunset cruise suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome on all our boats. Life jackets are available in child sizes, and the skipper will brief everyone on safety. The relaxed pace and calm evening sea make it a family-friendly activity. Note that alcohol is for adults only.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Your safety is our priority. If the forecast shows strong winds, heavy rain, or rough seas, we will contact you to reschedule or offer a full refund. We monitor conditions up to the departure time. In practice, Marbella enjoys over 300 sunny days a year, so cancellations are rare.
How do I book a sunset cruise for 2034?
Booking is easy. Use the WhatsApp number on our site, email us, or fill in the contact form. We need your preferred date, group size, and any special requests. We will confirm availability and send a payment link. A 50% deposit secures the booking, with the balance due 7 days before departure.
Can we customise the route or add extras?
Absolutely. The standard sunset route heads west along the coast towards Cabopino or Estepona, offering uninterrupted views. You can request a stop for a swim at Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés, or add water toys (paddleboard, jet ski) for an extra fee. Just let us know when you book.
