Description

Three hours — long enough to leave the coast behind, short enough to fit any afternoon. The Marbella cruise for people who want more than a quick loop but don’t need a whole half-day.

What makes this cruise special

The just-right middle option.

⏱️

Longer than a taste, shorter than a day
Three hours is the natural length for a good sail: time to reach a quiet cove, swim, sail back at your own pace. No rush, no whole-day commitment.
🐬

Chance of dolphins
Past Marbella Club we head for deeper water, where bottlenose dolphins often pass. No promises — but with three hours, we have time to look.
⛵

Sail, or just be sailed
If there’s wind, learn a few basics — the sails, the wheel, reading the breeze — or simply sit back, engine off, and let the wind carry you. Your call.
🍷

Snacks, fruit, and cold drinks
White wine, rosé, cava, cold beers, soft drinks, cold water, snacks and fresh fruit. Everything included — no shopping stop before you board.
The boat

Moonstone — a Bavaria 36 Cruiser.

Moonstone is a well-kept Bavaria 36 Cruiser — the kind of sailboat built for the Mediterranean: stable in the light Marbella breeze, quiet under sail, comfortable at anchor. Three cabins below, plenty of deck space up top for seven guests to spread out. Skippered by Captain Luna — ten years on this coast, English, Spanish, French.

How it unfolds

Your three hours, step by step.

−15′
Meet at berth 547, Puerto Deportivo de Marbella
Captain Luna welcomes you at mooring 547 (map). Short briefing on the boat, the swim and a few simple rules — then drinks, snacks and your playlist on the Bluetooth speaker.
0h
Out of the port — the route follows the wind
With wind, we head up into it, hoist the sails and cut the engine — learn a few tricks if you like, or just enjoy the ride. Without wind, we motor out gently and take in the coast.
+30′
La Concha, then the pretty coast
We head out a little to take in La Concha — Marbella’s mountain — then drop back down by Marbella Club and Puente Romano, the loveliest, least built-up stretch of the shore.
+1h
Anchor for a proper swim
A swim stop whenever you like — engine off, a full hour to swim, snorkel, paddle board, or drift on the inflatable donuts and floating noodles. Then dry off on the bow cushions in the sun.
+2h
Deeper water — dolphin watch
Past Marbella Club we pull out toward deeper water to try our luck spotting dolphins, then sail back gently with wine on deck and the coastline sliding past.
+3h
Back to berth 547
We slip back into the same mooring we left from. Afternoon well spent.

Practical answers

Everything you might ask.

Where exactly do we meet?

At berth 547 in Puerto Deportivo de Marbella — here on the map. Twenty minutes on foot from the old town, with parking on the pier. Look for the flags on the wall by the pontoon — Captain Luna meets you right at the boat.

Will we see dolphins?

Often, but never guaranteed — they’re wild. On the three-hour sail we head into deeper water past Marbella Club, where bottlenose dolphins pass most regularly, and we have the time to look properly.

Can I learn to sail?

If there’s wind and you’re curious, Luna will happily show you the basics — the sails, the wheel, reading the breeze. Prefer to just relax and be sailed? That’s perfect too, engine off and wind in the sails.

What if the weather turns bad?

If we cancel due to adverse weather conditions, you get a full refund — no questions, no forms. We monitor the forecast up to the day of the sail and call you if there’s any doubt.

Is 3 hours enough time to swim properly?

Yes — that’s actually the point of this length. You get a full anchored hour, which is enough for a proper swim, snorkel, and paddle board without feeling rushed.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes. Life jackets in kids’ sizes on board. The paddle board and inflatable donuts are usually a hit. Parents love the calm, unhurried pace.

What’s the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before your booking. Between 48h and 24h before, we keep 50% of the deposit. Less than 24h, the deposit is non-refundable — unless we’re the ones canceling for weather.

★★★★★
The 3-hour option is the sweet spot. Two hours felt too short when we booked before; four felt like too much for our day. This was just right.

Perfect afternoon escape from the Marbella heat. Luna took us to a quiet spot near Cabopino, water crystal clear, kids couldn’t get out. Highly recommend.

Reservamos las 3h y fue la mejor decisión. Tiempo suficiente para nadar tranquilos, snorkel, y volver a puerto sin agobios. Volveremos.
