Tarifa by Private Yacht

A boat charter from Puerto Banus to Tarifa and the Strait of Gibraltar takes around 2 to 2.5 hours by yacht. Maia Fair, a 72ft Sunseeker 68 Sport Yacht, runs full day, overnight and extended charters to Tarifa from Berth 092, Puerto Banus. Charters from €7,000 for a full day include experienced crew, fuel, and a full watersports package.

Tarifa is the southernmost point of mainland Europe, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic at the Strait of Gibraltar. The water here is famous for two things, world class wind for kitesurfing and an exceptional concentration of marine life including dolphins, pilot whales and seasonally orcas. Maia Fair's full day or overnight passage to Tarifa is one of the most spectacular wildlife journeys on the Mediterranean.

A full day Tarifa charter typically includes the passage west past Estepona, Sotogrande and Gibraltar, into the Strait, then anchor or slow cruising off Tarifa beach to swim and watch the wildlife before the return passage. For overnight charters, Maia Fair can anchor in a sheltered Strait bay or berth at Tarifa Marina for an evening ashore. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed but the route is one of the most reliable in Europe.
