Experience the thrill of squid fishing night charter Marbella aboard a private motor yacht from Puerto Banús. For €749 (2 hours, up to 9 guests), you get a licensed skipper, all fishing gear, drinks, snacks, and your catch cleaned and bagged. No experience needed – just turn up and fish under the stars.
Why Choose a Night Squid Fishing Charter?
Squid fishing is one of the most relaxing and rewarding activities on the Costa del Sol. You don’t need strength or skill – just patience and a steady hand. The crew show you exactly how to jig the rods. Within minutes, you’ll feel the tug of a squid. It’s a perfect family-friendly adventure, suitable for ages 5 to 85.
Night fishing also means cooler temperatures, fewer crowds on the water, and spectacular views of Marbella’s coastline lit up at night. The silhouette of La Concha mountain against the twilight sky is unforgettable.
Our Fleet for Squid Fishing
We use two comfortable motor yachts for night squid fishing trips, both departing from Puerto Banús:

| Azimut 39 | 12.5m | 11 | €749 |
Both boats feature a shaded cockpit, onboard toilet, and ample seating. The price includes a licensed skipper, fuel, fishing gear, bait, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, and Spanish IVA (21%).
What to Expect on Your Night Squid Fishing Trip
- Departure: Puerto Banús, usually 20:00–21:00.
- Duration: 2 hours (longer charters available on request).
- Fishing: Crew provide rods, jigs, and bait. They teach you the jigging technique.
- Catch: Typically European squid (Loligo vulgaris). The crew clean and bag them.

The best season for squid fishing is June through October, when waters are warm and squid are abundant. However, we run trips year-round, weather permitting.
Why Book with Boat Rental Marbella?
We are a local operator based in Puerto Banús with over a decade of experience. Our skippers know the best fishing spots – from the lee of Cabopino to the reefs off Estepona. You get a private charter, not a crowded group trip. All our boats are well-maintained and fully insured. Read more about our boat charter services in Marbella.
How to Book Your Night Squid Fishing Charter
Booking is simple. Choose your preferred boat (Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39), select a date, and send us a WhatsApp message. We’ll confirm availability and arrange the departure time. Payment is via bank transfer or card. Cancellations up to 48 hours before departure receive a full refund.
For groups larger than 11, or if you want a longer charter, we can arrange a larger vessel from our fleet – such as the Mangusta 80 – but note that squid fishing is best suited to the smaller, more nimble boats.
