Highlights
Outing Highlights
A new 8‑person dayboat with creature comforts
The craft is a brand‑new launch configured for eight passengers, fitted with a sunbathing solarium, a Bimini shade, external Bluetooth speakers, a swim ladder and full safety equipment; the motor is a quiet, fuel‑efficient outboard.
No licence required — you take the wheel
This rental explicitly requires no navigation licence, so the captain is you; rentals are flexible by the hour or for a full day, making it an easy option for groups who want control without formal certification.
Coastal cruising with a chance to see dolphins
The route keeps to the Marbella coastline and the quiet of the open sea, where sightings of dolphins are possible during a relaxed day of cruising, swimming and sunbathing.
What the day feels like
What the outing feels like
Board at Puerto Banús and spend the day setting your own tempo: a short coastal run, anchor for a swim off the ladder, stretch out on padded sun seats under the Bimini, cue up your music on the Bluetooth speakers and let the quiet outboard hum carry you along the Marbella shoreline. The format is intentionally relaxed — you rent by the hour or for a full day, and the boat is stocked with basic safety equipment so the focus stays on the sea, sun and the company you bring.
