Benahavis by Private Yacht

A yacht charter to the Benahavis coastline from Puerto Banus takes around 15 to 20 minutes by sea. Maia Fair, a 72ft Sunseeker 68 Sport Yacht, runs half day, full day and overnight charters along the Benahavis stretch from Berth 092, Puerto Banus. Charters from €4,375 include experienced crew, fuel, and a full watersports package.

Benahavis sits inland in the hills above San Pedro de Alcantara, but the municipality includes a sheltered stretch of Mediterranean coastline directly west of Puerto Banus, framed by La Quinta and Los Flamingos golf resorts. The water here is some of the calmest on the western Costa del Sol, sheltered by the curve of the bay and the high ground behind. Excellent for swimming, paddleboarding and the Seabob.

Many guests pair a Benahavis coastline charter with a stop at Estrella del Mar or anchor opposite the Villa Padierna Palace Hotel for lunch. Benahavis village itself is famous as the gastronomic capital of the Costa del Sol, reachable by tender to San Pedro then a 15 minute taxi inland for those wanting to extend the day with dinner ashore.
