Cruising from Marbella

For a longer escape, VERTIGE can be chartered for a multi-day cruise that reaches well beyond the Marbella coast. After provisioning in Puerto Banus, the yacht can work east along the Costa del Sol toward Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Malaga, or set out on the open crossing toward the Balearic islands of Ibiza and Formentera.

A multi-day itinerary opens up destinations that a single day cannot: the turquoise shallows of Formentera, the coves of Ibiza, or a slower exploration of the Andalusian coast with overnight stops in Estepona, Sotogrande and the marinas east of Malaga. Crossings toward the Balearics are planned around settled weather windows, since the open passage rewards patience and a calm forecast; the crew of VERTIGE monitors conditions and adjusts the route to keep guests comfortable throughout. Days settle into an easy rhythm of morning swims, long lunches at anchor and evenings in a new harbour. Whether the plan stays close to the Costa del Sol or ventures across to the islands, a multi-day charter aboard VERTIGE turns Marbella into the starting point of a far wider Mediterranean voyage.

Marbella charter questions

Where does the charter depart from in Marbella?

Charters aboard VERTIGE depart from Puerto Banus, the main marina of Marbella on the Golden Mile. It is easy to reach from Marbella old town, Nueva Andalucia and the surrounding resorts, and offers a sheltered, central starting point for cruising the Costa del Sol.

What are the best months to charter on the Costa del Sol?

The season runs roughly from April to October, when the water is warm and mornings are usually calm. Mornings tend to be the smoothest time to be at anchor, as the Levante and Poniente winds often build later in the day, so early departures are ideal for swimming and longer passages.

Can we reach Gibraltar or Formentera from Marbella?

Gibraltar can be reached on a full-day charter, crossing southwest past Estepona and Sotogrande when the forecast is settled. Formentera and Ibiza in the Balearics are open-sea crossings and are offered as part of a multi-day itinerary aboard VERTIGE, planned around a calm weather window.

Do I need a licence, or is a skipper included?

No licence is required. VERTIGE is chartered with a professional skipper who handles the navigation, timing and safety, so guests can relax and enjoy the day. The crew also monitors the weather and adjusts the route to keep the cruise comfortable.
