There is no better way to end a day on the Costa del Sol than with a Marbella sunset cruise champagne tapas 2037 experience. As the sun sinks behind La Concha and the Mediterranean turns to gold, you will sip chilled champagne, nibble on Spanish tapas, and glide past the superyachts of Puerto Banús. Our fleet includes the Astondoa 40 (€749 for 2 hours) and the Azimut 39, both fully equipped with a licensed skipper, drinks, snacks, and all taxes. Whether you are celebrating an anniversary, a birthday, or simply the beauty of the evening, this is Marbella at its most magical.
Why choose a sunset cruise in Marbella?
Marbella’s coastline offers some of the best sunset views in Europe. From the water, you see the Sierra Blanca mountains, the Golden Mile, and the glittering marina of Puerto Banús in a different light. A sunset cruise lets you escape the crowded beach clubs and enjoy the 25 °C evening air, the gentle swell, and the colours that change every minute. Our Boat Rental Marbella hub has more ideas for sea experiences, but nothing beats the combination of champagne, tapas, and a setting sun.
What’s included in the champagne & tapas package?
Every sunset charter includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light tapas (olives, Iberian ham, cheese, bread, and seasonal bites). Insurance and 21% Spanish VAT are also covered. You do not need to bring anything except your sunglasses and a camera. The champagne is served upon departure, and the tapas are laid out as you anchor near Cabopino or Cala del Faro.

Best time for a sunset cruise in 2037
Sunset times in Marbella vary by month. In July 2037, sunset is around 21:42; in September, around 20:35. We recommend departing 1.5 to 2 hours before official sunset so you can cruise out, anchor for a swim (if conditions allow), and watch the sun dip below the horizon. Our team will confirm the exact departure time when you book.
What to expect on board
Your skipper will welcome you at Puerto Banús (next to the Casino). After a quick safety briefing, you will motor out past the famous port, heading west towards Estepona or east towards Cabopino. The boat has a shaded saloon, a sun deck, and a sound system – you can connect your own playlist. The champagne will be poured, and the tapas will be served as you relax. Most sunset cruises last 2 hours, but you can extend to 3 or 4 hours for a longer dinner on the water (pricing on request).
