Combine the best of Marbella's coastline in one unforgettable afternoon: snorkel in crystal-clear coves, then watch the sun sink behind La Concha from the deck of your private boat. Our Marbella sunset snorkeling combo departs from Puerto Banús and includes everything you need — skipper, snorkel gear, drinks, snacks — from €749 for a 2-hour charter. Perfect for couples, families, or small groups who want a taste of the Mediterranean without a full-day commitment.
Why Choose the Sunset Snorkeling Combo?
Most boat trips in Marbella ask you to choose between a daytime swim stop or an evening sunset cruise. This combo gives you both in one efficient, relaxing outing. You get 60–90 minutes of snorkeling at a sheltered cove like Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés, followed by a gentle cruise back to Puerto Banús as the sky turns orange and pink. The boat handles the logistics — you just jump in the water and enjoy the view.
Your Boat Options
We run the sunset snorkeling combo on our Tier A boats:
- Astondoa 40 (12.5m, up to 9 passengers) — €749 for 2 hours
- Azimut 39 (12.5m, up to 11 passengers) — €749 for 2 hours
Both depart from Puerto Banús and include a licensed skipper, snorkel gear, fuel, insurance, and an open bar of water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava with light snacks. For larger groups (up to 12), consider our Mangusta 80 from €4,719 for 4 hours, which also includes a jet ski. See our full fleet for more options.
Snorkeling Spots We Visit
We select the best cove based on wind, swell, and visibility. Typical destinations include:
- Cala del Faro — Rocky reef with bream and wrasse, 3–8m depth, 10 minutes from Puerto Banús

Sunset Views from the Water
Marbella's coastline faces west, making it one of the best places on the Costa del Sol for sunset. From the boat you'll see the silhouette of La Concha mountain, the lights of the Golden Mile resorts, and the yachts at anchor. The water often turns a deep gold — a perfect photo moment. Pair it with a glass of cava and you have a Marbella evening to remember.
