Imagine gliding across the Mediterranean as the sun dips behind La Concha, a glass of champagne in hand and a plate of fresh tapas beside you. That's exactly what you get with a Marbella sunset cruise 2042 – a curated evening on the water that combines luxury, relaxation, and the best coastal views Marbella has to offer. Departing from Puerto Banús, this experience is designed for couples, small groups, or anyone wanting to celebrate a special occasion in style. Prices start at €749 for a 2-hour charter on an Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39, including a licensed skipper, fuel, drinks, and snacks.
Why Choose a Sunset Cruise in Marbella?
Marbella's coastline is made for sunset. The golden light hits the white facades of the Golden Mile, the Sierra Blanca mountains turn pink, and the sea calms to a glassy mirror. A sunset cruise lets you soak it all in from the best seat in the house – on the water. Unlike a crowded beach bar, you get privacy, personalised service, and the freedom to anchor at a quiet cove like Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés. The 2042 season offers the same reliable weather: average summer temperatures of 28°C and over 300 sunny days a year.
Our Fleet for Sunset Cruises
We offer two perfect options for a sunset charter. Both depart from Puerto Banús and include champagne, tapas, and all standard inclusions.

For a larger group or a more premium experience, the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) is available from €4,719 for a minimum 4-hour charter, which includes a free jet ski. All prices include IVA (21%).
What's Included in Your Sunset Cruise
Every charter comes with a fully licensed skipper, fuel, insurance, safety equipment, and a selection of drinks and snacks. For the sunset cruise, we upgrade to champagne and a selection of Spanish tapas – think jamón ibérico, manchego cheese, olives, and patatas bravas. Soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava are also available throughout the trip. You don't need to bring a thing.
Typical Sunset Cruise Itinerary
Your skipper will tailor the route based on conditions, but a classic evening goes like this: depart Puerto Banús around 19:00 (summer), head west along the coast past the luxury villas of the Golden Mile and the Marbella Marina. Stop for a swim at a quiet spot like Cala del Faro or Cabopino, then anchor to watch the sunset with champagne and tapas. Return to port as the stars come out. The whole cruise covers about 10–15 nautical miles.
Best Time to Book a Sunset Cruise
The 2042 season runs from April to October. The best months are June, July, and August, when sunset is late (around 21:00–21:30) and the sea is warmest (22–24°C). September and October offer quieter waters and slightly cooler evenings. We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance for prime slots, especially for weekends.
