Join a shared or private sailing trip from Puerto Banús aboard a 12 to 14 meter boat. Your captain may include Agustin, Vinny, Juan, Tony, or another crew member. Look for wild dolphins, enjoy beer, wine, cava, soft drinks, and snacks, and sail along Marbella’s coast.

“A perfect outing- with dolphins! We did the 4pm tour with captain Tony on the Mistral sailboat, which was clean and well maintained. Tony did a great job of safely taking us up and down the coast while socializing and serving drinks + snacks. And we saw plenty of dolphins- not just one but many sightings over the course of the afternoon. A perfect outing. Thank you, Tony!”

3.Sunset Sailing Experience in Estepona

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 105 reviews · from $41Best value

Set sail from Estepona aboard the 55-foot Intrepido for about 1 hour 45 minutes. Captain Manuel and his crew serve a drink, play soft music, and search for dolphins as the sun drops behind the coast. The small group holds up to 14 people.

“It was just a motored boat ride on a sailboat down the coast and back. Pros: The sunset was beautiful! Music was playing and we were served drinks and given a blanket. Cons: The female crew member was not welcoming or friendly to us or the other English speaking family, although she was very friendly to the Spanish speaking couple. Overall, we would try a different boat next time.”
