A sunset sailing trip from Tarifa

The sunset slot is one way to enjoy our three-hour sailing trip with snorkelling, tapas and drinks. It leaves from Tarifa harbour, with coastal sailing and time at anchor. Choose a shared trip at €95 per person, for up to 9 guests, or a private charter at €600 for a group of up to 6.

If you are still choosing between different activities, start with our local guide to things to do in Tarifa. This page explains the sunset sailing option.

What is the evening like?

We sail along the coast around Isla de las Palomas and Los Lances, then anchor for a swim and tapas. The skipper adjusts the route and time at anchor to the conditions. If the confirmed departure fits sunset, the evening adds changing light over the Strait. Sunset views depend on the timing and conditions.

Check the available departure for your chosen date on the sailing experience page. Sunset time changes through the year, so confirm the timing when you book.
