Puerto Banús has no shortage of good restaurants. But there is one table none of them can offer: the one on the deck of your own private yacht, anchored off the coast as the sun goes down behind the mountains. A dinner on a yacht in Puerto Banús turns a meal into the highlight of your whole trip, and it is easier to arrange than most people think.
How the evening unfolds
You board at Puerto Banús in the late afternoon and cruise gently along the coastline, past the Golden Mile and the villas of Marbella, drink in hand. As the light turns golden, the skipper drops anchor in a quiet spot facing the shore. Dinner is served on deck while the sky does its show; afterwards, you cruise back under the lights of the marina. No neighbouring tables, no noise, no rush. Just your party, the crew and the Mediterranean.
Build the dinner you want
The charter itself includes the private boat, a professional skipper, fuel, soft drinks and snacks. From there, you choose how far to take it with our optional extras:
- On-board catering, from elegant cold platters to a full menu, arranged to your taste and dietary needs.
- A private chef cooking on board, including a Japanese chef option if sushi over the sea sounds like your kind of evening.
- A professional ham carver, for the most Andalusian touch imaginable: ibérico ham sliced in front of you as you anchor off Marbella.
- Music or a DJ, if the dinner is the start of a longer celebration on board.
Tell us the occasion and the budget and we will propose a combination that fits. For the full range of premium options, take a look at our luxury experiences.
Occasions it was made for
Anniversaries and birthdays are the classics, and more than one guest has hidden a ring until dessert. It also works beautifully as the closing night of a holiday, a small family celebration or an intimate alternative to a big party. For larger groups and livelier plans, our boat parties in Marbella are the natural next step.
Good to know
- Every outing is completely private and departs from Puerto Banús with a professional skipper. No sailing experience needed.
- In autumn the sun sets before 8 pm, so an early-evening charter catches the sunset at a very civilised hour.
- Evenings at sea are mild but cooler than on land: bring a light jacket and you are set.
- Boats range from intimate motorboats for two to a spacious yacht charter in Marbella for family groups.
Dates with the best sunset light are limited, especially at weekends. Tell us when you are visiting and how many you are, and we will send a no-obligation proposal for your evening at sea.
