Sunset Cava Cruise: Luxury Catamaran Sail from Marina del Este | Boat Tour

On Spain’s southern Costa Tropical, the Luxury Sailing Catamaran Sunset Cava Cruise launches from Puerto Deportivo Marina del Este in La Herradura, Andalucía. This two-hour evening sail layers golden light, cool sea air and a glass of Spanish cava into a simple, unforgettable ritual. You meet at the marina, step aboard a stable catamaran helmed by a professional skipper and first mate, and glide along a coastline defined by rugged cliffs, hidden coves and quiet pebble beaches. Where the shore drops to the Mediterranean, olive-silver trees and subtropical palms edge whitewashed villages; in the distance the Sierra Nevada foothills rise, giving the horizon a framed, mountainous profile. The itinerary is pared down and deliberate: a welcome glass of cava, a relaxed cruise timed to the sunset, and — weather permitting — a short stop for a swim. That pause in calm water under the evening light can transform the outing from scenic to cinematic. The vessel carries all drinks onboard — champagne, wine, beer, soft drinks and bottled water — so you never need to reach for a cooler. Safety equipment and crew are supplied, and the atmosphere tends toward conviviality rather than ceremony, making the trip family-friendly and suitable for mixed-age groups. What makes this experience special for La Herradura is scale and timing. From shore, the coastline is impressive; from the water, it becomes intimate. The light between June 15 and September 15 casts the cliffs in saturated ochres and the sea in deep Mediterranean blues. The bay’s sheltered nature reduces chop at dusk, so the catamaran can offer a gentle, photo-ready platform for couples, small groups and solo travelers who want something more than a beachside aperitif. Practical notes: cruises run Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 8–10pm during the season; bring a light jacket for the cool marine breeze, swimwear if you hope to jump in, and a camera with enough memory for the changing light. For travelers staying in La Herradura or nearby Almuñécar, this two-hour sail is an efficient evening plan that pairs well with dinner ashore afterwards. This is more than a toast to the sunset; it’s a short, well-managed voyage that showcases the Costa Tropical’s geology, subtropical flora and sea access in a single, easy outing. Whether you come to swim, photograph or simply sip cava while the sun folds into the sea, the Luxury Sailing Catamaran Sunset Cava Cruise delivers a compact coastal experience that feels both relaxed and distinctly Andalusian. Bookings are seasonal and limited to specific evenings, so reserve early via the booking link and arrive fifteen minutes before departure to check in at Puerto Deportivo Marina del Este; onboard comfort, clear views and convivial pacing make punctuality worthwhile.
