Enjoy a private, skippered pleasure boat charter on the Bay of Malaga and along the Costa del Sol. Relax on deck, swim and snorkel in clear water, watch for dolphins, and take in coastal views or a sunset from the sea.
Meet your skipper at the marina and step aboard for a private outing shaped around your group. After a short introduction, leave the harbour and settle into the pace of the day, whether you want to relax on deck, enjoy the coastal scenery, or spend more time near the water.
The route can include time for swimming and snorkelling when conditions are suitable, as well as cruising along the Malaga coastline. Morning, afternoon, and full-day options let you choose the amount of time that suits your plans, while the skipper looks after navigation throughout.
The charter departs from Puerto deportivo El Candado on the eastern side of Malaga. The marina provides direct access to the Bay of Malaga and the wider Costa del Sol, making it a convenient starting point for a private day on the water.
Depending on your selected duration, route preferences, and conditions, the outing can focus on the bay or continue along quieter stretches of coast. Longer routes may take in coastal watchtowers and views towards landmarks around Nerja and Maro-Cerro Gordo.
No boating licence or previous boating experience is required because a skipper operates the boat throughout the charter. Guests should be comfortable spending time on a moving vessel and following the skipper’s instructions while aboard.
Tell the team when requesting your booking if anyone in your group is a non-swimmer, has limited mobility, or has other needs that may affect the day. This information helps the skipper consider an appropriate route and suitable swimming stops.
Your group has private use of the boat, with the skipper and fuel included. Instead of following a fixed shared-tour schedule, you can discuss whether you would prefer a gentle coastal cruise, more time for swimming, or a longer sightseeing route within your selected charter duration.
Local knowledge of Malaga Bay and the Costa del Sol helps make each outing feel personal and unhurried. Clear morning, afternoon, and full-day choices make it easy to request the format that works for your group, while larger parties can contact the team to discuss what may be possible.

Arrive a little early so boarding can start on time. Parking is available in and around the marina area; follow local marina parking signs on arrival.
This is a private charter for your group only. You request a morning, afternoon, or full-day slot and have the boat to yourselves with a skipper for the whole period.
It is not a ticketed shared sightseeing tour with other customers joining at the same time, so your group can enjoy a more relaxed and personal experience on the water.
No. The charter is skippered for the full booking, so you do not need a recreational boat licence or prior experience at the helm to request a trip.
Your skipper handles navigation and boat operation while you enjoy the coastal scenery, swimming opportunities, and time relaxing on deck.
Standard capacity is up to 6 guests, which gives your group private use of the boat while keeping the outing comfortable.
If you need space for more than 6 people, contact Adventuro Chat before requesting a booking so the team can discuss whether a larger group can be arranged.
Your booking includes private use of the boat for your selected slot, together with the fuel and skipper needed for the outing.
Food, drinks, transport to the marina, personal travel insurance, and gratuities are not included, so you should arrange these separately where needed.
Morning charters start at 10:00, full-day charters start at 12:00, and afternoon charters start at 16:00. Each option returns to the marina within its stated slot.
Select your preferred start time when sending an open booking request. The team will review availability and confirm the details before your booking is accepted.
Swimming and snorkelling stops can form part of the outing when sea conditions are suitable and the skipper is satisfied with the chosen location.
Tell your skipper if time in the water is a priority so the route can take suitable stopping points into account within your selected charter duration.
Meet at Puerto deportivo El Candado in Malaga. A Google Maps pin is included with the listing to help you navigate directly to the marina meeting point.
Plan to arrive shortly before your selected start time so that boarding and the skipper’s introduction can take place without delaying your departure.
Bring swimwear, towels, sun protection, soft-soled deck shoes, and drinking water. A light layer can also be useful when there is a breeze away from the harbour.
You may also want snacks for the outing and a waterproof bag for phones and valuables, particularly if your group plans to swim or snorkel.
A private charter can work well for families and mixed-ability groups because the pace and preferred activities can be discussed with the skipper.
Please mention young children, non-swimmers, limited mobility, or other relevant needs when requesting the booking so the team can consider a suitable plan.
Charters can generally operate in typical coastal conditions around Malaga, but the skipper will always prioritise safety if the sea state is unsuitable for the planned outing.
If conditions require a change, the team will contact you about the available options. You can also use Adventuro Chat if you have concerns before your requested date.
