Boat Trips & Sailing in Malaga

Boat trips in Malaga and along its coast are picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 14 rated 4.5★ or higher, with 3,143 traveler reviews between them. The honest geography first: most sailing here leaves from the marinas around the city, Benalmadena, Puerto Banus in Marbella and La Herradura, not from Malaga port itself. The range runs from a €14 ferry hop between Benalmadena and Fuengirola to a €140 private sunset sailboat for up to ten people, with €30 catamaran sails, kayak and snorkel runs under the Maro cliffs, parasailing and two €140 skippered half-days with lunch in between.

Read the fine print on two things. Dolphins appear on most of these routes often enough to be expected, but every good operator sells them as a likelihood, not a promise; and the two luxury cruises named Granada sail the Costa Tropical, an hour east, so check the departure marina before booking.
