No shared decks, no fixed routes. Just your group, your skipper, and the Marbella coastline at your own pace.
A day on the water should belong to you — not to a timetable.
Most boat trips in Marbella pack you onto a crowded deck and run the same loop every hour. We do the opposite. One group, one boat, one route — cruise the Golden Mile past Marbella's landmark hotels and villas, drop anchor for a swim wherever the water's best that day — off Puerto Banús, Nikki Beach or Playa del Cable — or simply watch the coast slide by.
Every charter is skipper-led, so you relax while navigation and safety are handled. Bottlenose and common dolphins work this stretch of coast — on a good day they'll ride alongside on the way out. No two charters are the same.
A proper day boat built for comfort — retractable sun shades fore and aft so there's shade whenever you want it, cushioned seating and sun pads for lounging, and a low swim platform that makes getting in and out of the water effortless for every age. Below deck there's a private electric toilet and a freshwater shower to rinse off, plus a fridge and cool box keeping drinks cold all day. Twin Suzuki engines mean you reach the good water fast and quietly — and Beneteau's clever Air Step hull channels a cushion of air beneath the boat, for a smoother, drier and more stable ride that's right at home in Mediterranean waters.
One price for your whole group — no fuel surcharges, no extras at the dock. Step aboard and the day's taken care of.
Catering on board. Add cold food for a supplement — sushi, fresh seafood, charcuterie and cheese platters, or fruit and pastries. Arranged to your group and dietary needs; just ask when you book.
From the berth we follow Marbella's most famous shoreline — the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús — passing legendary hotels, beach clubs and the homes of the rich and famous, La Concha mountain rising behind it all. Here's some of what slides past, and where we can drop anchor for a swim.
The palm-lined stretch between Marbella town and Puerto Banús, beneath La Concha. It was born in 1954 when Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe opened the Marbella Club — the coast's first luxury hotel — and Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and Ava Gardner soon followed. Its two icons, the Marbella Club and Puente Romano (named after a real Roman bridge on its grounds), still anchor the shore today.
The legendary marina, opened in 1970 and built as a whitewashed Andalusian village. Its launch drew Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco, the Aga Khan and Hugh Hefner, with a young Julio Iglesias singing for the guests. Today its 900-odd berths hold some of the world's largest superyachts — a Salvador Dalí rhinoceros watching over the quay.
We can anchor just off Marbella's most famous beach clubs — Nikki Beach, one of the most celebrated in Europe, and Ocean Club with its pool parties and Sunday sessions — then swim or relax aboard. The view back at the coast from the water, drink in hand, is one few people ever get.
Away from the crowds, calmer beaches like Playa del Cable make easy, sheltered places to drop anchor, swim and snorkel. We choose the stop that suits the day's wind and your group — sometimes the buzz of Banús, sometimes a quiet patch of blue all to yourselves.
Dolphin & wildlife spotting. Pods of dolphins range along this coast and will sometimes ride right alongside the boat — an unforgettable moment when it happens. We're always happy to head out and look for them, but in fairness, wild sightings are never guaranteed: it's the sea on its own terms, and every day on the water is different.
Stay out as the tour boats head in, the light goes amber, and the coast empties. Chilled cava, the water glassing over, La Concha glowing behind you — the best hour on the Mediterranean, and the quietest.
Celebrating something
Anniversaries, hen parties, milestone birthdays, a surprise proposal as the sun drops — the boat is yours, and we shape the day around the occasion. Cake, flowers, champagne and a quiet word with the skipper beforehand, all arranged.

A rare combination on this coast: a private charter and a certified dive instructor aboard. Divers explore below while non-divers relax on deck — delivered with established local PADI dive centres.
A horseshoe reef of caves and overhangs south of the Golden Mile — a gentle drift for newer certified divers.
One of Spain's top ten dives: a vast offshore reef of walls and pinnacles, with Atlantic species past Gibraltar.
A soft-coral reef thick with shoaling pink anthias, congers and spiny lobster. Advanced drift diving.
Around the boat
Pods of dolphins work this coast and sometimes ride the bow on the way out; below the surface the reefs hold octopus, moray and more. See what you might meet on the water.
Explore the wildlife →Visitar Marbella is run by a skipper and PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer who knows this coastline by heart — the best light, the calmest water, where the dolphins run. Every charter is small, private and built around your group, on and below the water.
Up to 8 guests on a private charter. On diving trips that's up to 4 divers plus 4 non-diving guests — everyone shares the same private boat, so no one is left on shore.
Puerto Deportivo de Marbella, Berth 109 — in the heart of Marbella, a short ride from the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús. We'll send exact directions when you book.
Always. Every charter is exclusively yours — no strangers, no fixed schedule, no crowded tour boat. The day is shaped around what your group wants to do.
Your professional skipper, fuel, snorkel gear, a Bluetooth sound system, and cava, beers and soft drinks — all in. The price you see is the price you pay.
The Beneteau Flyer 9 SPACEdeck is built for a comfortable day out: a shaded helm and seating area, sun pads for lounging, and a swim platform with a boarding ladder for easy access to the water. There's a freshwater shower to rinse off, a private marine toilet below deck, a cool box for the included drinks, a Bluetooth sound system, and snorkel gear on board.
