The marina is the landmark itself: superyachts moored bow-in, designer boutiques behind the quay and a promenade that fills after dark. Tours from Puerto Banús either take you out on the water for a view back at it or fold it into a wider Costa del Sol day.

Why We Picked These Tours
Puerto Banús opened in 1970 on the Marbella coast and has been linked with yachts, designer shops and nightlife ever since. Its quays are free to walk, so a tour is for what you cannot do from the pier: sailing into the bay or covering the wider coast.
Across 3 priced tours, 50 reviews average 5.0 stars. Sunset on Private Sailing boat Puerto Banus Marbella (10 pax) leads on both rating and volume, with 5 stars from 38 reviews, and it is also the priciest at $441 because it is a private boat.
Where to Sleep in Puerto Banús
Puerto Banús has a few luxury hotels and apartment blocks, but many travelers stay in Marbella’s old town or along the Golden Mile and take a taxi, since the marina lies a few kilometers from the old town. Málaga airport is roughly 60 kilometers away, around 45 minutes by car outside peak traffic, with buses along the coast.
Timing Your Puerto Banús Trip
Sailing season runs roughly April to October, with the sea warmest from July to September. Summer evenings are busy and sunset trips book out first. Winter is mild, but wind and swell cancel more departures, and many of the marina’s clubs slow down.
How Much Puerto Banús Tours Cost
The shared and sightseeing options sit between $45 and $64, while a private boat at $441 pays for the whole vessel and skipper, so compare that one per boat rather than per seat.
Booking Tips for Puerto Banús
Wear flat, soft-soled shoes on deck rather than heels, and bring sun cream, sunglasses and a light jacket. Pack a small bag, since space on sailboats is limited. Free cancellation up to a day before departure is common, which helps when wind threatens a trip, but confirm it on the booking page.
Comparing the Best Puerto Banús Options
The quays, beachfront and restaurants are open to anyone, so a tour should add something: the view from the water or the context of the wider coast. If sailing is the draw, a shared sunset trip usually costs far less than chartering a whole boat.
