The bow parts the silver-blue of the Mediterranean as Puerto Banús slips aft — the marina’s polished hulls and busy promenades shrinking to a low horizon. Sea air pulls at your jacket and the captain cuts a steady track westward, where the water opens and dolphins often rise to meet the wake, playful and unhurried.

The bow parts the silver-blue of the Mediterranean as Puerto Banús slips aft — the marina’s polished hulls and busy promenades shrinking to a low horizon. Sea air pulls at your jacket and the captain cuts a steady track westward, where the water opens and dolphins often rise to meet the wake, playful and unhurried.
Puerto Banús began in the late 1960s as a purpose-built luxury marina; its concrete quays and modernist piers stand on coastal geology shaped by Pleistocene terraces and the Sierra Blanca foothills behind Marbella. From the deck you can pick out the distant outline of North Africa on very clear days and watch gulls and shearwaters quartering the swell. The experience combines a social, celebratory atmosphere with straightforward marine culture: respect for the vessel, the sea, and local regulations.
Practically: this private charter accommodates up to nine guests for roughly 125 minutes, departing from Pantalán 3. Expect a mix of lounging on deck, a short swim or snorkel with provided gear, and time to scan for cetaceans. Drinks, snacks, towels and a captain are included, and the route is weather dependent — captains avoid choppy offshore runs.
Plan for sun, wind and splash: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a windbreaker and non-slip shoes. Aim for mid-morning or late-afternoon for calmer seas and softer light; bring ID and any medication for motion sickness. On-board etiquette is simple: pack out your rubbish, avoid feeding wildlife and follow the captain’s instructions. The trip is short, social and accessible — a practical seaside escape with the sea doing most of the work.
