A Detailed Look at the Marbella Private Sailing Experience

Starting Point – Puerto Deportivo Marbella

Your adventure begins at NaluSur, located in the heart of Marbella’s marina. This spot is central and easily accessible—though parking can be tight in summer, so arriving early or using nearby parking garages like Avenida del Mar is advisable. The boat is moored right in the lively Puerto Deportivo, setting the scene for a relaxed yet exciting day on the water.

Itinerary Breakdown

The tour lasts roughly 2 hours, with the main focus on enjoying the coastline, swimming, and taking in the views. The itinerary is flexible, with the actual route and stops tailored by your skipper Luna, based on the weather and your preferences.

Stop 1: Departure from NaluSur

As you step onto your private vessel, you’re greeted with a sense of anticipation. Luna, your skipper, is renowned for her professionalism and passion—guaranteeing a smooth start to your sailing trip. She’s not just a captain but a lively guide who shares insights about Marbella’s coastline and marine life, making the experience more enriching.

Stop 2: Cruising along Marbella

Once underway, you’ll be treated to stunning coastal vistas—ranging from the glamorous marina to the rugged cliffs and secluded coves. We loved the way Luna personalizes the experience, offering commentary on the local sights and pointing out notable features along the coast.

This part of the trip is perfect for simply relaxing, basking in the sun, or snapping photos of the crisp blue waters against the hillside villas and lush greenery. The boat’s size allows for a cozy, private atmosphere without feeling crowded, even with a small group onboard.

Swim Stop & Marine Life Spotting

One of the most appreciated moments is the swim stop. In the clear waters, you can take a refreshing dip, often in calm, protected areas. Guests frequently mention how peaceful and enjoyable it is to float in pristine waters and enjoy the warmth of the sun. Luna might even point out local marine life, adding a touch of wonder to the experience.

It’s worth noting that pets, smoking, alcohol, and drugs are not allowed onboard, maintaining a family-friendly and safe environment. The tour is suitable for non-swimmers, but not recommended for those prone to seasickness—Luna’s boat is small and more susceptible to motion.

The stunning coastline views and the opportunity for a swim in crystal waters are highlights that guests rave about. The small group size makes for an intimate, personal experience, perfect for celebrating special moments or just escaping the crowds.

Cons are primarily logistical—parking in summer can be busy, so plan accordingly. It’s also a relatively short trip, so if you’re craving a full-day adventure, this might feel limited. Lastly, the small boat isn’t suitable for those prone to seasickness or uncomfortable with water activities.
