Costa del Sol Yacht Charter
Yacht Charter on the Costa del Sol - a quintessential experience
Yacht Charter on the Costa del Sol - a quintessential experience.
To truly savour the essence of this enchanting region, you need to hop on board a boat.
There are many reasons to hire a yacht or book a pleasure cruise on the Costa del Sol. The most obvious is to treat yourself to uninterrupted views of rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, gracious villas of the rich and famous and the villages and towns that dot this famous coastline.
Another is that yachting and boating are an integral part of southern Spanish life. While today Marbella may be renowned as a playground for the privileged, it has always been a strategic point of connection between the African and European continents and flourished through sea trade and cultural interactions.
Malaga’s majestic port has similar ancient roots, having been colonised over the centuries by the Romans and Phoenicians and today, one could argue, by the thousands of visitors who arrive here daily on giant cruise ships.
On a smaller scale, a handful of villages along the Costa del Sol maintain small fishing fleets whose daily catch ends up in the local markets and dining tables of the region’s best restaurants.
Then there are swish marinas and yacht clubs that form an integral part of the culture and society on the Costa del Sol.
In 1970, the opening ceremony of Marbella’s Puerto Banus marina was attended by the Aga Khan, Hugh Hefner, Grace Kelly and the Spanish King and Queen - and the celebrities haven’t stopped coming since!
But you don’t need to be a millionaire to enjoy the Costa del Sol from a boat!
Iberian Escapes Concierge services can organise boat charter and yacht rentals in Malaga and Marbella for all budgets and every occasion.
These are just a sample of the types of boat rentals on the Costa del Sol we can offer you.
A family day out in Puerto Banus
Puerto Banus in Marbella is the ideal departure point for a host of sea adventures, from half-day jaunts to sunset sails and fishing trips.
A popular experience for families and groups of friends is to charter a sleek motorboat for a four-hour cruise, where you will enjoy stunning views of the Marbella’s surrounding hills and may even spot a dolphin or two!
By extending the experience to 8 hours, you can sail west to Sotogrande, have lunch in a smart seaside restaurant and then return to Puerto Banus - stopping on the way for exhilarating dips in the sea.
In both cases, you will be well looked after by an expert captain. Drinks and snacks are supplied on board, so you don’t have to bring a thing - just kick back and enjoy!
Yacht cruises in Marbella
Luxury yacht cruises are a whole other level of boating pleasure. With the sea breeze on your face and the gentle lap of the waves, taking a yacht cruise in Marbella or Malaga will be the highlight of your holiday.
Our well-appointed yachts present the height of luxury, comfortably accommodating up to 12 people on designer decks with onboard catering, music and well-stocked fridges of cold drinks. Our captains know all the best places to anchor, from hidden coves to dive spots for some amazing snorkelling.
Fishing expeditions around Marbella
Did you know that the sea around Marbella is one of the best fishing grounds in Spain? Its proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar ensures a wide variety of fish such as tuna, bream and snapper.
For beginners, we suggest trying your hand at ‘bottom fishing’ - or casting artificial lures to provoke the fish to bite.
For the more experienced, our captains can take you to the best deep-sea fishing spots, where you may be lucky enough to snag a swordfish or bluefin tuna.
Our fishing charters in Marbella fully adhere to local environmental and safety laws, so your experience will be safe and sustainable.

Boat charter and activities in Malaga
With its bustling port and long sea-faring history, Malaga offers a wide variety of boat and yacht activities for the holidaymaker.
Sunset Malaga Cruise
The sunsets on the Costa del Sol are legendary, blanketing the hills and towns in an iridescent light. There is no better place to experience this natural phenomenon than onboard a luxury boat in the Bay of Malaga.
This is a hugely popular experience that sells out quickly, so let our concierge services book your place on a luxury catamaran, or charter a boat for yourself and your tribe during ‘golden hour’ and enjoy the sunset with music and cocktails.
Hire a catamaran in Malaga
Malaga’s wide port and spacious marina make it suitable for mooring catamarans. Hiring a catamaran is a whole other level of boat charter, as their inbuilt stability makes them ideal for the high seas.
Get away from it all by hiring a catamaran and skipper for the day. He or she will take you to the most suitable dive spots, the best places to sport different types of dolphins and other species of marine life.
You will enjoy full onboard catering and post lunch be able to spread out on nets as you skim across the Mediterranean.
This once-in-a-lifetime experience is available through Iberia Escapes Concierge services.
Contact us and we will make a plan!
Child-friendly boat charters in Malaga
Treat the kids to a fun day out by chartering a boat from Malaga along the Benalmadena Coast to a famed marina where they will be able to enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, or throwing themselves down a giant water slide!
On the return trip, you will be served lunch onboard, before chilling out and enjoying the scenery on your way back to your Malaga holiday rental.
As you can see, boat charter and yacht hire on the Costa del Sol offers a tantalising blend of luxury, adventure, and natural beauty.
