If you're planning a day on the water in Marbella and can't decide between the Galeon 500 Fly and the Azimut 58 Flybridge, you're not alone. Both are premium flybridge yachts that offer space, style, and sun. But they differ in size, departure point, and inclusions. Here's a head-to-head comparison to help you choose the right charter for your group.
Dimensions and Capacity
The Azimut 58 measures 17.6m in length, while the Galeon 500 Fly comes in at 15.5m. That 2.1m difference gives the Azimut more deck space, a larger flybridge, and more generous cabins below. Both boats are certified for 12 passengers, so capacity isn't a deciding factor – it's all about how you want to use the space.
Departure Points: Puerto Banús vs Marbella Marina
The Azimut 58 departs from Puerto Banús, the iconic marina lined with luxury boutiques and restaurants. The Galeon 500 Fly departs from Marbella Marina, a quieter base just east of the Golden Mile. If you're staying in central Marbella, the Galeon is more convenient. If you want to start your day with a stroll through Puerto Banús, go with the Azimut.
Inclusions and Extras
Both charters include a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and 21% IVA. The Azimut 58 sweetens the deal with a jet ski included free for the entire charter – ideal for thrill-seekers. The Galeon 500 Fly does not include a jet ski as standard, but you can ask about adding one via WhatsApp.
Pricing: A Clear Difference
The Azimut 58 is priced at €4,719 for a minimum of 4 hours (jet ski included). The Galeon 500 Fly is pricing on request – contact us via WhatsApp for a personalised quote. If you want a fixed, all-inclusive price with a jet ski, the Azimut is the straightforward choice. If you prefer to negotiate extras or have a smaller budget, the Galeon may be more flexible.
Which Boat for Which Occasion?
Choose the Azimut 58 if you want a larger flybridge, a jet ski, and a departure from Puerto Banús. It's perfect for active groups, families with teenagers, or anyone who wants to combine cruising with watersports. Choose the Galeon 500 Fly if you prefer a more intimate feel, a quieter marina, and the flexibility to customise your charter. Both boats are excellent for sunset cruises, lunch at Cala del Faro, or anchoring off Cabopino.
