MALAGA SAILING TOURS
Wind, season and head-count decide more about a day afloat than the brochure does. These 8 malaga sailing tours are set out with the hours, the price and the swim stops so the choice takes a minute.
Board a spacious catamaran in Malaga for a 1 to 1.5-hour cruise along the coast. Watch the sun sink behind the mountains, enjoy chillout music and a glass of cava if selected, and choose an evening with a romantic light show. Live music is offered on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays until mid-September.
“The boat trip was beautiful, good music, nice relaxed vibes and beautiful views.”
Sail Malaga Bay aboard the Mundo Marino catamaran for 1.5 hours of coastline views, music, bar service, and a possible swim stop. Choose the DJ option for a livelier ride. Routes change with wind and sea conditions, and swimming is allowed only when it is safe.
“The whole trip, the staff members who were very attentive and friendly. It was a very pleasant day as well for sailing .”
Board Mundo Marino’s catamaran at Málaga Port for a 90-minute sunset sail along the Costa del Sol. You’ll get one glass of cava, live DJ music, sea views, and a look at Málaga glowing after dark. The mood ranges from chilled to dance-friendly, with Spanish and English-speaking crew. Food is not included.
“Super Nice, very nice musics, the boat is comfortable and you have place enough. Music is top, you have all kind of different musics so everyone can enjoy. The sunset is a must, and we spot some dolphin jumping so cannot be better. Crew also professional and sympathetic. It’s a must have to do in Malaga.”
Spend three hours aboard the Catamaran Shooting Star, sailing along Malaga’s coast with an English- or Spanish-speaking crew. You’ll receive a drink, stop for swimming and snorkeling away from the beach crowds, and eat pork paella with salad, bread, and fruit. Front-deck net seating costs extra.
“Very relaxing lying on the nets and a good amount of time spent at swimming stop”
Set out from Puerto Banús for an intimate sailing trip of about two hours, with a maximum of 12 people. Your captain may track wild dolphins, stop for swimming or paddleboarding, and serve water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava. Captains including Juan, Toni, Alberto, and Ricardo are praised for friendly, attentive hosting.
“Had a very nice trip with great weather, drinks and the very nice and skilled captain Alberto. Not only was the sailing very smooth, but he also gave great recommendations and background on the area. Highly recommend!”
Set sail from Puerto Banús for about two hours as the sun drops over the Marbella coast. Expect drinks, snacks, sea breezes, and possible dolphin sightings. Captains including Toni, Tony, Ricardo, Alberto, and Ester have been praised for friendly service and local insight. The boat carries no more than 11 people and returns to the marina.
“A wonderful sunset boat trip. Very well organised with free flowing drinks to enjoy. We were lucky enough to see quite a lot of Dolphins too which really was the cherry on the cake. Would 100% recommend doing this trip.”
Join a shared catamaran cruise from La Herradura for four hours along Granada’s Costa Tropical. The crew, including names such as Matthew, Mia, Miles, and Tom on some departures, serves cava, fruit, drinks, and a generous buffet before anchoring near La Cantarrijan for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
“It was an amazing experience. From we wmentered the boat until we left. The crew was very nice and friendly and the boat was great. Made for a really nice and relaxing day, and they had a lot of equipment to use in the water.”
Join a shared or private catamaran from Benalmádena Marina for a relaxed 1 to 2-hour sail along the Costa del Sol. The crew, including captains such as Marcus and Nikolas, looks for wild dolphins, then stops for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. Drinks are included, while you can bring food or arrange catering.
“The crew speak fairly good English. Both my wife have poor mobility and we were helped to board and disembark the craft. Drinks varied from Carva, Canned Beer and Water. All were ice cold. The views were amazing and I personally went from never actually seen a real Dolphin to seeing what I'm guessing was a dozen or so. The craft was stopped on the way back to port so those who wanted could dive into and have a swim in the sea. A truly amazing trip. 5 *****'s We have some excellent photographs and memories. Thank You.”
Sunset, snorkel, or the whole boat.
