Planning a day on the water in Marbella? This private sailing charter offers an enticing mix of luxury, natural beauty, and personalized service — all wrapped into a three-hour adventure on a stunning Beneteau Oceanis Bliss yacht. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, seeking a peaceful escape, or simply want to enjoy the Mediterranean in style, this tour is designed to delight.
What really draws us in is the flexibility and personal touch that come with a private experience. You can focus on sunbathing, dolphin-spotting, or just soaking up the Mediterranean vistas at your own pace. Plus, the yacht’s spacious deck and comfortable cockpit mean everyone has room to relax. That said, if you’re hoping to see dolphins, be aware that sightings aren’t guaranteed — as one happy reviewer noted, “I didn’t see the dolphins,” which can be a bit of a gamble on wildlife tours.
This experience suits travelers craving intimacy and exclusivity, those celebrating a special event, or anyone eager for a laid-back, scenic day at sea. Families, couples, or groups of friends will all find something to love here — especially since it’s a private tour that keeps the crowd small and manageable.
