Can you imagine swapping your beach towel for a deck with open-sea views? If you’ve already enjoyed the beaches of Torremolinos and the buzz of the promenade, there’s one plan that takes it to the next level: stepping onto a boat and seeing the Costa del Sol from a completely new perspective. One small detail though: Torremolinos doesn’t have its own port. But don’t worry – in just 20 minutes by car you can reach Puerto Marina in Benalmádena, and that’s where the adventure begins.
Ready for the best boat trip on the Costa del Sol?
Torremolinos and Benalmádena look completely different when you’re out at sea. At Ocean Wave Trips we’ll take you on that experience: a relaxing outing, a lively party at sea, or a sunset that will leave you speechless. You choose the plan, we provide the boat. Shall we book it?
Book your boat trip nowWhere to embark if you’re staying in Torremolinos
The most convenient place to take a boat trip is from Benalmádena, at the marina, about 13 km away (yes, just over 20 minutes by car).
No car? No problem. There are options for everyone:
- By bus: several lines connect Torremolinos and Benalmádena in under half an hour.
- By taxi: a quick and easy solution for families or groups.
Once at the marina, a short walk takes you to the dock – and the best part begins: stepping on board.
Why a boat trip from Torremolinos is worth it
Because everything looks different from the sea. The skyline of Torremolinos, its lively beaches, and that Mediterranean vibe that mixes calm with buzz… it all changes when you look at it from the water. And the beauty is that it doesn’t matter if you come as a couple, with kids or with friends: there’s always an experience that fits.
What you’ll see along the route
Setting off from Puerto Marina is like opening a new window to the Costa del Sol. To the east, Torremolinos slowly reveals itself from an angle you can’t see on land: first La Carihuela, the traditional fishing quarter famous for its beach bars where you can almost smell the sardines grilling, even from the sea; then El Bajondillo and Playamar, where the familiar skyline blends with the endless blue of the Mediterranean. Seen from the deck, even the everyday feels extraordinary.
Looking west, the scenery changes: Benalmádena shows off its cliffs, quieter coves, and, high above, the ever-green Mount Calamorro watching over the coast. On clear days, the horizon stretches as far as Málaga city, with its bay and harbour forming a postcard backdrop, especially at sunset.
The magic is that the scenery is never static – every turn of the boat shifts the view from urban to coastal to natural. It’s like a moving carousel of postcards, each minute surprising you with something new.
Types of boat experiences
In Puerto Marina, you’ll find options for every mood:
Dolphin watching
Two hours sailing through areas where dolphins are often spotted. If you’re lucky, they’ll leap right alongside the boat. Children love it – and adults too, even if they won’t admit it. Always done respectfully, without disturbing them.
Catamaran with a swimming stop
The boat anchors offshore so you can dive into refreshing, crystal-clear waters. Music, sunshine, and time to relax on deck – a true Mediterranean moment.
Sunset cruise
The most magical option: watching the sun melt into the Costa del Sol horizon. Comes with a drink included and soft music in the background. Perfect for couples or anyone seeking a romantic or relaxed plan.
Boat party
This one’s all about fun: loud music, cold drinks and the Mediterranean as your dancefloor. Ideal for hen and stag parties, birthdays, or simply an excuse to celebrate with friends. Extras like a DJ or catering can be added for a fully tailored experience.
Fishing trip
A calm and engaging plan with all equipment provided and an expert skipper who knows the best fishing spots. Whether it’s your first time or you’re an enthusiast, it’s an activity that hooks you in.
