There's no better way to end a Marbella day than on the water, with the sun sinking behind La Concha and a glass of chilled champagne in hand. Our Marbella sunset cruise with champagne and tapas – now available for the 2046 season – departs from Puerto Banús and offers a private 2-hour escape for up to 11 guests. From €749 for the whole boat, it includes a licensed skipper, drinks, tapas, and VAT. No hidden costs, no crowds – just you, your people, and the Mediterranean at golden hour.
Why a sunset cruise in Marbella is a must-do in 2046
Marbella's coastline is at its most beautiful as the light softens. The Sierra Blanca turns pink, the sea calms, and the glamour of Puerto Banús glows behind you. A sunset cruise isn't just a boat ride – it's a front-row seat to one of the Costa del Sol's best daily shows. In 2046, our sunset cruises remain the most popular way to celebrate anniversaries, proposals, birthdays, or simply to treat yourself after a day on the Golden Mile.
Our sunset cruise boats
We run the sunset experience on two of our most comfortable flybridge cruisers, both moored in Puerto Banús:
- Astondoa 40 – 12.5m, up to 9 guests. Open aft deck, spacious saloon, and a bimini for shade if you need it.
- Azimut 39 – 12.5m, up to 11 guests. Sporty lines, generous cockpit seating, and a smooth ride.
Both boats are skippered by our licensed captains, who know the best spots along the coast – from Cabopino to Cala del Faro – depending on wind and sunset position.
What's included in your sunset cruise
We keep it simple: one price, everything included. No extra charges for fuel, ice, or corkage. Your 2-hour charter includes:
- Licensed skipper and fuel
- Champagne, cava, white wine, beer, and soft drinks
- Spanish tapas and light snacks – think olives, manchego, jamón, and bread with tomato
- Insurance and safety equipment
- 21% Spanish IVA (VAT)
All you need to bring is a light jacket (the sea breeze can be cool) and your camera.
Price and booking for 2046
The sunset cruise is priced at €749 for 2 hours for the entire boat. That's a flat rate, not per person. For larger groups or a longer charter, we can arrange a custom sunset experience on one of our bigger yachts – like the Mangusta 80 or Azimut 58 – with pricing on request via WhatsApp. To book, simply send us a message with your preferred date and group size. We'll confirm availability and send a secure payment link. A 50% deposit secures your slot; the balance is due on the day.
What to expect on the water
We'll meet you at Puerto Banús 15 minutes before departure. After a quick safety briefing, we'll cast off and head west along the coast, past the luxury villas of the Golden Mile and towards Cabopino or Cala del Faro, depending on the conditions. The skipper will find a calm spot to drop anchor as the sun begins to set. You'll have time to swim (if you're brave – the water is warm from June to October), sip champagne, and enjoy your tapas. On the way back, you'll see Marbella's lights reflecting on the water – a magical finish to the evening.

Frequently asked questions
What time does the Marbella sunset cruise depart in 2046?
Departure times vary through the season to match sunset. Typically, we leave Puerto Banús 60–90 minutes before sunset, so you have the best light over La Concha and the coast. In summer, that's around 20:30–21:30; in spring and autumn, earlier. Your exact departure time is confirmed when you book.
Which boats are used for the sunset cruise?
We use the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, up to 9 guests) and the Azimut 39 (12.5m, up to 11 guests). Both depart from Puerto Banús and are ideal for sunset trips – open aft decks, comfortable seating, and plenty of space for champagne and tapas.
What is included in the €749 price?
The 2-hour sunset cruise costs €749 for the entire boat, not per person. Included: licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, champagne, Spanish tapas and light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and 21% IVA. No hidden extras.
Can we bring our own food or drinks?
You're welcome to bring extra food or drink if you wish, but our package already includes a selection of Spanish tapas and a drinks menu with champagne. There's no corkage fee, but we ask that you avoid glass bottles for safety – we'll provide glasses.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If the captain decides conditions are unsafe, we'll offer you a full refund or reschedule to another day. We monitor forecasts closely – Marbella has over 300 sunny days a year, so cancellations are rare. Your safety is our priority.
How do we book the 2046 sunset cruise?
Booking is easy – message us on WhatsApp with your preferred date and group size. We'll confirm availability for the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39, and send you a secure payment link. A 50% deposit secures the booking, with the balance due on the day.
Is the sunset cruise private?
Yes, the entire boat is yours. You won't share with other groups. The price is for the whole charter, so it's perfect for couples, families, or small groups of friends – up to 9 on the Astondoa 40 or 11 on the Azimut 39.
