Private yacht charter aboard Maia Fair, a 72ft Sunseeker, departing from Berth 092 Puerto Banus
A yacht charter from Puerto Banus to La Duquesa takes around 45 to 55 minutes by yacht. Maia Fair, a 72ft Sunseeker 68 Sport Yacht, runs full day, overnight and extended charters along the La Duquesa coastline from Berth 092, Puerto Banus. Charters from €4,375 include experienced crew, fuel, and a full watersports package.
La Duquesa sits 40km west of Puerto Banus, between Estepona and Sotogrande, in the Manilva municipality. It is the quietest stretch of the western Costa del Sol, with a small marina, a long sandy beach and a string of mostly empty calas to the west. The bay here is sheltered by the curve of the coastline and rarely sees the swell that affects more exposed stretches.
La Duquesa makes a strong full day or overnight destination for guests wanting to escape the busier central Costa del Sol entirely. Anchor off Playa de la Duquesa for swimming, tender into the marina for lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants, then take an evening anchorage in one of the western calas before returning to Puerto Banus. Manilva itself is also famous for its vineyards, and pre arranged wine tastings can be added to the day.
