The route: from Puerto Banús to Sotogrande
Depart from Puerto Banús and head south-west along the coast. Pass the golden sands of Cabopino, the cliffs of Cala del Faro, and the exclusive marina of Estepona. About 50–60 minutes later, you'll see the Sotogrande marina ahead. Your skipper will anchor off the Guadiaro river mouth—the best spot to enjoy the sea breeze before heading ashore.

From the marina, it's a short taxi ride to the polo club. After the match, return to your boat for a sunset cruise back—unforgettable.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Sotogrande from Puerto Banús by boat?
The distance from Puerto Banús to Sotogrande is roughly 20 nautical miles (about 37 km). At a cruising speed of 20–25 knots, the journey takes around 50–60 minutes each way. This makes a full-day charter ideal for the polo final, giving you time to cruise, anchor for lunch, and still arrive in time for the match.
Which boats are best for the Sotogrande Polo Final?
For a group of up to 12 guests, the Mangusta 80 (24m) offers a spacious flybridge and a free jet ski, perfect for the polo crowd. If you prefer a more intimate trip, the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39 (both 12.5m) seat 9–11 guests and are budget-friendly at €749 for 2 hours. All depart from Puerto Banús.
Can I watch the polo from the boat?
You can anchor near the Sotogrande coast and enjoy the atmosphere from the water, but the polo fields are inland, so you won't see the match itself from the boat. The best plan is to dock at Sotogrande Marina (or anchor off the beach) and take a short taxi or walk to the polo club. Your skipper can advise on the best anchorage.
What is included in the charter price?
Every charter includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). No hidden extras. For the Mangusta 80, a jet ski is also included free of charge, adding extra fun for your group.

What is the best time to leave Puerto Banús?
For an afternoon polo final (typically 4–6 PM), we recommend departing Puerto Banús around 11:00 AM. This gives you time to cruise slowly, stop for a swim at Cabopino or Cala del Faro, enjoy a light lunch on board, and still arrive at Sotogrande by 2–3 PM. You'll have plenty of time to get to the polo club before the match starts.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?

What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety comes first. If the skipper deems conditions unsafe, we'll reschedule your charter to another date or offer a full refund. The Mediterranean is generally calm in summer, but we monitor forecasts closely. For the polo final, we recommend booking a flexible date or having a backup plan.
