Why Book Early for August 2044
August is Marbella’s busiest month for yacht charters. Puerto Banús sees thousands of visitors, and our fleet – especially the Mangusta 80 and Azimut 58 Flybridge – often books out 4–8 weeks in advance. Weekends are the first to go, followed by boats with jet skis (like the Mangusta 80 at €4,719/4h).
We recommend reserving by June 2044 at the latest. Last-minute availability is rare, and prices remain fixed regardless of demand. Booking early also gives you first pick of departure times – 09:00 slots are the most popular.
