What is the best time to visit Malaga?

The name Costa del Sol (the Sun coast) doesn’t originate from a myth, for this region of Spain experiences a microclimate that allows for sunshine practically all year round. In addition to its sunshine, the weather is pleasant most of the time, with mild winters and very hot summers. Therefore, the best time for a private yacht hire in Malaga is anytime from April to October. Keep in mind, if you decide to visit during July and August, you will experience more crowds, so avoid these two months if you prefer a quieter holiday.

Should I hire a private yacht with or without a skipper?

While on Scansail, you will find that many of the yachts have the option to include a skipper. While it is not necessary, there are many benefits to having one on board with you. For example, a professional skipper will be able to handle all the sailing and docking of your yacht. This means that you can relax and enjoy the voyage to the max without having to worry about navigating. Moreover, a skipper will be familiar with the regional area, so they can ensure smooth and comfortable sailing for you and your party. Additionally, they can show you all the hidden spots of Malaga that tourists don’t usually get to see! Ultimately, a skipper on board your private yacht hire will leave you with unforgettable memories.

What to do in Malaga?

Arriving in Malaga on board your yacht hire, what you notice first is the local harbour. Recently redeveloped, it is the best place to stroll, shop and enjoy an extraordinary sunset over the sea. Nearby, you will find Malaga's urban beach, the Malagueta. This beach is a great place to relax while still staying in the city centre. Malaga is also a city with many cultural offerings. It is home to the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, the famous creator of Cubism, and pays homage to him with museums and statues throughout the city. If you want to learn more about this, head to the Picasso Museum!

If you aren’t sure where to go, let your senses guide you! All along the Malaga coastline you will be accompanied by the scent of grilled fish emanating from the beach bars. If you stop by after a day of soaking up the sun, you must try the sardines seasoned with a drizzle of oil, lemon and coarse salt known as “boquerones!”

Not far from Malaga and easily accessible by boat are Rincon de la Victoria to the east and Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Fuengirola to the west, small towns on the Costa del Sol with quieter and more accessible beaches. For a breathtaking view, we recommend sailing to Nerja: from its renowned 'Balcony' you can see the magic of the encounter between the blue sea and the Andalusian beach.

Not sure when to visit? There are key dates that can be interesting for your private yacht hire. For example, if you come to Malaga during the first weeks of August, you cannot miss the famous Feria. This is a week-long event with traditional costumes, typical Andalusian dances, musical events and stands where you can taste Spanish delicacies and local wine. Alternatively, the Easter period is also a time of great splendour for the city. In Malaga, as in the whole of Andalusia, Christian traditions are deeply felt and therefore Semana Santa is celebrated with processions of the faithful following the dedicated golden thrones of Christian figures around the streets of the city.
