What to do in Tarifa: sail the Strait at sunset
Planning a trip to Tarifa and wondering what to do beyond the beach? Here's a local answer: board a sailing yacht at the marina, let the Atlantic wind fill the sails, and watch the sun drop behind the African coast while you eat tapas on deck.
Tarifa from a new angle
Tarifa is famous for kitesurf, yes — but it's also one of the most dramatically beautiful stretches of coastline in Europe. From the water you see it completely differently: the old walled city rising above the harbour, the Isla de las Palomas lighthouse, the rugged hills of the Natural Park, and on a clear day, the peaks of Morocco barely 14 km away.
Our Sunset Sailing & Tapas experience leaves from Tarifa harbour every afternoon. It's a 3-hour private sail in a small group — intimate, unhurried, completely unlike a tourist bus trip.
What's included
- Guided sailing on a modern, comfortable yacht
- Traditional Spanish tapas on board (tortilla, jamón, cheese, olives)
- Cold drinks: beer, soft drinks and water
- Snorkelling equipment
- Professional bilingual skipper (Spanish, English, French)
Why choose a sailing trip in Tarifa
- Small groups only — never a crowded excursion
- Perfect for couples, families and small groups of friends
- Ideal for a special gift, a romantic escape or a celebration
- Photography opportunities you won't find anywhere else
