Detailed Itinerary by days
Day 1Marbella - Puerto de Cabopino
Starting your journey at Marbella, where the Mediterranean glistens under the wary eye of the Sierra Blanca mountains, Sail eastward, passing the sparkle of Puerto Banús—its mega-yachts and fashionable throng vanishing into the horizon. Anchor at Puerto de Cabopino, a peaceful harbor surrounded in golden dunes and aromatic pine woods. Wander the rustic harbor as the sun sets, or explore the blue seas of Playa de Cabopino, enjoying freshly caught espetos ( fried sardines) in a lantern-lit chiringuito. Let the whisper of waves gently guide you to sleep as night falls.
Day 2Puerto de Cabopino - Fuengirola
Early, fly the sails skimming over quiet coves where cliffs sink into blue depths. Arriving at Fuengirola, a vibrant promenade humming with palm-shaded cafes and flamenco guitar echoes fills Drop anchor close to the 10th-century Moorish fortification Sohail Castle, above the Río Fuengirola. Ashore, lose yourself in the immersive jungles of Bioparc Fuengirola, where tigers and gorillas wander under verdant canopy. Cap the day with sunset tapas on the sand, toes in the mild Andalusian air.
Day 3Fuengirola - Benalmádena
A brief cruise gets you to Benalmádena, where the famous Puerto Marina—a quirky mix of Venetian waterways and Moorish arches—waits. Walk past superyachts and sip tinto de verano at a seaside café; then, climb to the Buddhist Stupa, its white dome shining against the heavens. The Tivoli World nearby provides rollercoaster views of the shore for thrill-seekers. Celebrate another day where water and culture mix as evening illuminates the marina in gold.
Day 4Benalmádena - Torremolinos
Travel west to Torremolinos, a town that exudes its nostalgic appeal. Anchor close to La Carihuela, a fishing-quarter-turned-beach refuge with sand covered with linen-draped tables. At a family-run restaurant, feast on garlicky gambas al ajillo (shrimp), then stroll down little alleyways lined with bougainvillea. Later, ascend the 17th-century Molino de Inca windmill encircled by tropical gardens and follow the jasmine aroma back to your boat.
Day 5Torremolinos - Málaga
Sail from Málaga, right in the middle of Andalusia. Under the shadow of the Alcazaba, a sumptuous Moorish fortification with tiled courtyards recounting sultans and sieges, dock. Wander the cobblestone streets of the old town, stopping at the busy Atarazanas Market or Picasso Museum to taste olives and jamón ibérico. Join residents on Muelle Uno for sunset vermút and the murmur of street musicians as evening falls—a fitting farewell to a day rich in history.
Day 6Málaga - Torre de Benagalbón
Get away from the traffic and head east to Torre de Benagalbón, a peaceful fishing community where time seems to slow down. Anchor in crystalline seas, then paddleboard to secret sea caves or beachcomb along the Sendero Litoral coast path. Ashore, with its whitewashed homes and lemon farms, invites unhurried discovery. Dine at a cliffside bar where the daily catch is presented with distant lighthouse blinking views.
Day 7Torre de Benagalbón - Churriana
Sail by Churriana, a secret area where residents anchor to swim in emerald pools created by the waves, on your last day. Soak in peace then go back to Marbella, where your trip started. Salt in your hair and memories of sun-soaked coves, starry marina evenings, and the freedom of the open sea guide past the glitzy waterfront one last time.
