You step off the marina jetty and the Mediterranean breathes around the hull: warm air, a faint salt tang, and the low hum of diesel as the captain eases offshore. In four hours off Marbella’s coast you can trade crowded beaches for an open deck, scan the water for dolphins cutting through sun-silvered swells, and anchor in a quiet cove for a snorkel or swim.
