[post_content] => Dolphins, sunsets, day trips, fishing...Learn about the best boat trips around Marbella and the Costa del Sol and plan to hit the water.
Marbella means beautiful sea in Spanish and is intrinsically linked to the Mediterranean Sea. There’s just under 28 km of beaches to explore and everywhere you look, you’ll see the water sparkling and inviting you to dive in. Why not take to the water during your holiday in Marbella? It gives you a different perspective on the town and offers lots of opportunities for fun and relaxation.
There are so many watersports that you can enjoy, from paddle surfing, to jet skiing, to kayaking. But today we’re going to talk about boat tours in Marbella, where the crew do the work and you relax in comfort, enjoying the thrill of riding the waves.
There are plenty of options to choose from. Here are just a few different boat trips and companies offering them, to help you plan for your next trip.
Private boat trip from Puerto Banús along the Costa del Sol
The glamourous port of Puerto Banus is a wonderful place to pick up a boat and explore the Costa del Sol. This marina is known for superyachts and designer shopping and is stunning.
It is also well located to be able to explore along the coast, in either direction, towards Elviria or towards Sotogrande. You can even stop off at one of the amazing beach clubs like Nikki Beach and join the party, or dine in one of the marinas.
There are many companies who run private boat trips from Puerto Banus, here are three to help you find the perfect option for you.
Nautica Marbella offer 4- and 8-hour private boat trips, leaving from Puerto Banus. Their trips include a private boat with captain, fuel, water, soft drinks, cava and a light snack. They also allow you to bring additional food and drink with you, or order lunch and let the crew take care of it all for you.
The 4-hour route will take you to Nikki Beach in Elviria, let you swim and enjoy lunch just off this famous beach club and then return.
The 8-hour option takes you to the beautiful Sotogrande port, with lunch in a restaurant there and then back to Puerto Banus.
Marbella Boat Charter offer motor boats, sailing yachts, fishing boats and a wide range of activities and options to enjoy a day on the waves. Have the luxury of a beautiful boat, an experienced skipper, drinks, snacks and of course fuel, for 2, 4 or 8 hours. You can discuss your preferred route, depending on the time you choose, and they can even take you over to Morocco!

You can choose the time frame that suits you best, there are options for 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-hour trips. You will have an English speaking skipper to take care of everything, snacks and drinks to enjoy, and you can even try your hand at a spot of fishing, as the boat includes fishing equipment too.
Sunset sailing experience
The sunsets in Marbella are legendary, and we love a sundowner on the beach to enjoy nature’s display and we’ve written an article all about where to watch the sunset in Marbella to inspire you. One of the very best ways to experience our stunning sunsets is at sea, cruising along, drink in hand, while the sky is painted in brilliant colors.
Here are two companies that offer sunset sailing experiences:
Alquiler Veleros Marbella offers private and group sunset sailing trips from Puerto Banus. It’s a 2-hour trip, which offers wine, cava, soft drinks and snacks, plus a beautiful place to enjoy the setting of the sun, with views of Marbella, La Concha mountain and sometimes even over to Africa.

Another option if you’re more price sensitive is to take the final Fly Blue ferry between Banus and Marbella and watch the sunset for just €10 for adults and €6 for kids. It’s a 30-minute trip and there are places to sunbathe, a bar, seating and relaxation areas. They run all day from 11am and the last boat leaves Marbella at 19.00 and Banus at 19.30.
Dolphin watching
Thanks to the proximity of the Gibraltar Straits and the meeting of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, the Costa del Sol has a rich marine life, including whales and dolphins. You can often see pods of dolphins from the shore, but there’s nothing better than being up close and personal with them from a boat. These are sociable creatures who love to play in the waves that the boats create and seeing them swimming alongside you, playing, jumping and showing-off is a spectacular experience.
Here are two companies that offer dolphin watching tours on the Costa del Sol.
Dolphins Marbella offer group dolphin watching tours on their 37-foot Elan yacht. Their trips are just under three hours long, with guides who know the best spots to find dolphins and can tell you all about it. They have soft drinks, snacks and fruit on board, as well as offering guests use of snorkeling equipment and a paddle surf board to get into the water and enjoy the spectacular wildlife.

It’s amazing that Marbella is on the edge of the continent of Europe and on clear days you can see the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and over into Africa. This proximity means that you can easily take a boat from the Costa del Sol over to Tangier and have a day in this bustling and exciting port town.
There are private and group tours, or you can simply go it solo and take the ferry and explore alone.
The FRS ferry from Algeciras takes one and a half hours to get to Tangiers and you can go as a foot passenger, or take your car. It costs €21.50 each way. The same company also offers routes from Tarifa to Tangiers and from Algeciras to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.

Gibraltar boat tour
The richest marine life can be found off Gibraltar, so it’s worth the short drive from Marbella to Gibraltar to take to the sea. There are lots of companies in Gibraltar offering dolphin and whale watching tours, and while you can never guarantee seeing them, chances are high in this part of the world.
Dolphin Adventure Gibraltar have a 99% success rate in spotting dolphins over the last 20 years, so you know you’re in good hands!

10 Reasons to Visit Marbella this Summer
This are our ten reasons to visit Marbella in summer:
The hot and sunny weather
It’s called the Costa del Sol for very good reason. You can expect average temperatures of between 28⁰C and 31⁰C during the day, and balmy evenings, with lows of 18⁰C. Marbella is blessed with a microclimate, which means temperatures are less extreme compared to the rest of the coast, so that’s another reason to choose Marbella!
The beautiful beaches and warm waters of the Mediterranean on your doorstep
If you love beaches, you’ll be spoilt for choice with 27.9km of beautiful beaches in Marbella, and many more in the surrounding areas. A trip to the beach is a highlight of any summer holiday in Marbella.
The gourmet delights of the Marbella restaurant scene and eating al fresco
With delicious Spanish food, plus international cuisine and fine dining restaurants all available in Marbella, you’ll find something to suit every taste. Long lunches, tapas tours and late dinners are a real highlight of summers in Marbella.
The packed calendar of events, activities and concerts
Summers are full of fantastic events, from concerts featuring global superstars, to club nights with big name DJs and of course the traditional ferias. There’s no excuse to be bored in Marbella in summer, check out these great events!
The waterparks and watersports
Having fun in the water is something that we love in the summer in Marbella. You’ll find opportunities to rent paddle boards, kayaks, jet skis and more, plus inflatable activities just off shore that are a lot of fun. A short drive from Marbella, in Fuengirola, is the great water park Aqua Mijas, which is definitely worth the trip.
The great family activities within easy reach.
Marbella is a great family destination, where kids are welcome and doted on by the locals. As well as the beaches and pools, which offer hours of entertainment, there are lots of playgrounds and parks to enjoy. Just a short drive outside of Marbella you’ll find zoos, water parks, safari parks and more, to keep the whole family entertained. Check out our guide to Marbella with kids.
Stunning scenery and countryside to explore
You may not think of Marbella as a natural paradise, but it’s actually a very green town and just outside of the town itself you will find some beautiful countryside and the opportunity for hiking and adventure activities.
The sunsets
Summer offers the most incredible sunsets, where the sky turns into a work of art. Sipping a cocktail while the sun goes down is something to remember! Here are our recommendations on the best places to watch the sunset in Marbella.
Marbella’s Old Town takes you back in time, and the music, dance and traditions of old live on during the fiesta season. There are also great art galleries and museums in Marbella itself and an incredible art scene in Malaga, so history buffs and culture vultures will be happy.

What to do in Marbella this Summer
With so many reasons to visit Marbella in the summer, it can be hard to know where to start and what to plan to make your holiday the very best it can be. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are just a few of our top summer activities, to inspire you.
Hit the beach
The number one plan for most tourists is to head to the beach and Marbella is blessed with 24 of them! Whether you grab a bucket and spade and a picnic, or book a sunbed in a fantastic beach club, no summer holiday in Marbella would be complete without a trip to the beach!

We’d recommend hiring a paddle board or kayak to take to the waves, it’s relaxing, fun and quite a workout too. Choose carefully, depending on the weather. Paddle surfing is most enjoyable when it’s very calm and the water is really still, whereas you can kayak even if there’s a little wind and a few waves. Here’s some information for you on kayaking in Marbella.
If that sounds like a bit too much like hard work on your relaxing holiday, we’d recommend a private yacht charter. Take to the sea in a beautiful sailing or motor boat for a cruise, or try your hand at some sea fishing. You’re sure to have a wonderful day!

Famous for its windy conditions, it’s a paradise for people who want to try surfing, windsurfing or kite surfing. Plus, its white sand beaches and cool vibe are really special.
Party all night long
Marbella’s nightlife is legendary and summer is where the action reaches its peak. Most bars and clubs will put on special nights where you can listen to great music, sip cool drinks and dance the night away. There are also lots of great concerts and dance music events happening at many stadiums and event venues including the Marbella Arena and Starlite. Some of the biggest stars are coming over to perform in Marbella in summer 2024. Make sure you check out what’s on during your next Marbella holiday to make sure you don’t miss a thing. Here are a few of our favorite clubs and bars in Marbella to help you choose where to go this summer.
As well as bars and clubs, Marbella and Andalucía as a whole is famous for its “Feria” culture. These are massive parties where all the town turns out in their flamenco finery to eat, drink and be merry during the summer months. Each town and village in Andalucia has their own feria, in honor of their patron saint. In Marbella, they are celebrating their feria from the 5th to the 11th of June and it’s a wonderful time to be here.
