Booking is simple: send us a WhatsApp message with your preferred date, time, boat, and number of guests. We will check availability and send a secure payment link. No online booking fees, no hassle. We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance for the F1 weekend, as boats fill up quickly. Contact us via WhatsApp to reserve your boat.
What to expect on the day
On race day, you will meet your skipper at Puerto Banús. Board your boat, and the skipper will cruise to the best anchorage point near the circuit. The boat is stocked with water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light snacks. You can bring your own food and drinks too. The skipper will handle all navigation and safety, so you can relax and enjoy the race. After the race, you can cruise back to the marina or extend your charter to explore the coast.
Tips for the best F1 boat experience
- Book a morning charter to secure the best anchorage spot.
- Bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses – the Mediterranean sun is strong.
- Arrive at Puerto Banús 15 minutes before departure.
- Consider an 8-hour charter to combine the race with a coastal cruise to Cabopino or Estepona.
- If you choose the Mangusta 80, use the included jet ski for a closer view of the track.
Other activities for the F1 weekend
Beyond the race, Marbella offers world-class dining on the Golden Mile, beach clubs like Ocean Club, and shopping in Puerto Banús. You can also charter a boat for the entire weekend and explore Cala del Faro, Cala Cortés, or the coast towards Sotogrande. See our full list of charter options.
Frequently asked questions
Can I watch the F1 Grand Prix from a boat in Marbella?
Yes. While the circuit is land-based, boats anchor close to the shoreline near the track. You get a unique sea-level view of the straights and some corners, plus the atmosphere of the race from the water. We recommend the Tier A boats (Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39) for a 2-hour charter timed to the race.
How much does a boat rental cost for the F1 weekend?
Our Tier A boats (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39) start at €749 for 2 hours or €2,299 for 8 hours. The Mangusta 80 (24m) is €4,719 minimum 4 hours and includes a free jet ski. Other boats are priced on request via WhatsApp. All prices include skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and VAT.
What is included in the charter price?
Every booking includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). No hidden fees. You only need to bring sunscreen and a towel.

For 10–12 guests, we recommend the Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m, 12 pax), Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax), or Ferretti 94 (29m, 12 pax). All depart from Puerto Banús and offer spacious decks and shaded areas. Pricing is on request via WhatsApp.
How do I book a boat for the F1 weekend?
Contact us via WhatsApp with your preferred date, time, boat, and number of guests. We will confirm availability and send a payment link. No online booking system – just direct, personal service. We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance for F1 weekend.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own food and additional drinks. Our standard charter includes a selection of drinks and snacks, but you can supplement with your own. The skipper will keep your provisions chilled.
What happens if the weather is bad on race day?
Marbella enjoys 320+ sunny days a year, but if conditions are unsafe (high winds, storms), we will offer a full refund or reschedule. Your safety is our priority. The skipper makes the final call on the day.
How far is Puerto Banús from the F1 circuit?
Puerto Banús is approximately 5–10 minutes by taxi from the Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto (the nearest F1 circuit). For the 2044 race, if the track is closer to Marbella (e.g., a street circuit), boats depart directly from the marina. We will advise the best anchorage point upon booking.
