Marbella is one of Europe's finest destinations for a wine tasting yacht cruise. Departing from the glamorous Puerto Banús, you can sip chilled Albariño and Rioja while cruising the Costa del Sol's golden coastline. Our private charters include a licensed skipper, a curated selection of Spanish wines, cava, beer, and tapas-style snacks – all from €749 for 2 hours (up to 11 guests). No hidden fees, no crowds, just you, your friends, and the Mediterranean.
Why Choose a Wine Tasting Yacht Cruise in Marbella?
A wine tasting cruise combines two of Marbella's greatest pleasures: luxury sailing and Spanish wine culture. Instead of a static tasting room, you get a moving terrace with panoramic views of La Concha mountain, the Golden Mile, and the Marbella coastline. The gentle sea breeze enhances the aromas of your wine, and you can stop for a swim at a secluded cove like Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés. Our all-inclusive pricing means you don't worry about extras – everything from the skipper to the fuel to the VAT is covered.

Frequently Asked Questions
What wines are served on the Marbella wine tasting yacht cruise?
We provide a selection of Spanish wines including a crisp Albariño (Rías Baixas), a bold Rioja Crianza, and a chilled cava from Penedès. The exact bottles vary by season, but always feature DO-certified wines. You can also request a specific preference (e.g. all white) when booking – just let us know.
Can we bring our own wine on board?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own wine. There is no corkage fee. However, we already include unlimited water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava – so most guests find the included selection sufficient. If you want a specific vintage or rare bottle, feel free to bring it.
How long does the wine tasting yacht cruise last?
Our standard wine tasting cruises are available from 2 hours up to a full day (8 hours). The 2-hour option (€749) is perfect for a sunset tasting near the Marbella coastline. For a more relaxed experience with swimming stops, we recommend 4 hours or more.
What boats are available for the wine tasting experience?
The Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 guests) and Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 guests) are our most popular choices for wine tasting cruises, starting at €749/2h. For larger groups (up to 12 guests), consider the Mangusta 80 (24m, from €4,719/4h) which includes a jet ski. All boats depart from Puerto Banús.
Is the wine tasting guided or self-serve?
It is self-serve – your skipper will hand you the bottles and glasses, and you are free to pour as you wish. No sommelier is included, but the skipper can share basic info about the wines if asked. For a guided tasting with a professional, we recommend booking a dedicated event package (contact us via WhatsApp).
Can we swim or stop for a swim during the cruise?
Yes – swimming stops are possible depending on sea conditions and time. Popular spots include Cala del Faro (west of Marbella) or Cala Cortés near Cabopino. Your skipper will choose a calm, safe cove. Towels are not provided, so bring your own.
What is the cancellation policy?
We offer free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure. Within 48 hours, a 50% charge applies. In case of bad weather (e.g. storms, high winds), we will reschedule or refund in full. We recommend travel insurance for last-minute changes.
