Marbella, located on Spain's stunning Costa del Sol, is a premier fishing destination offering exceptional Mediterranean angling experiences. The waters around Marbella benefit from the perfect combination of warm Mediterranean currents meeting cooler Atlantic waters via the Straits of Gibraltar, creating an ideal environment for diverse marine life.
Throughout the year, Marbella's waters host an impressive variety of fish species. Spring brings spawning tuna, while the summer months (May through September) deliver exciting opportunities for Spanish Mackerel, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Marlin, and Bonito. Even during the mild winter season from October to April, anglers can target Red Snapper, Sea Bass, Grouper, and Breams weighing up to 100 pounds.
Fishing in Marbella offers versatility for all angler levels. Inshore fishing within four miles of the coastline yields Gilthead, Sea Bream, Sea Bass, Snapper, and Groupers, with catches often occurring within 20 minutes of dropping lines. For more adventurous anglers, deep-sea fishing expeditions venture toward the Straits of Gibraltar, where bluefin tuna, Mediterranean marlin, and swordfish await in waters exceeding 100 meters deep.
The fishing hub of Puerto Banus-Marbella provides convenient access to these productive fishing grounds, with experienced captains like Oscar Santos who have decades of local knowledge. Whether you're seeking a relaxing half-day excursion or an adrenaline-pumping deep-sea adventure, Marbella fishing charters deliver unforgettable experiences against the backdrop of the glamorous Costa del Sol.
