Marbella Fashion Week transforms Puerto Banús into a hub of style, glamour and exclusive events. From Press Day previews to runway shows and late-night after-parties, the city buzzes with energy. A Marbella fashion week yacht charter offers a unique way to experience it all — with privacy, luxury and a front-row seat on the water.
What is Marbella Fashion Week?
Marbella Fashion Week is a biannual event showcasing Spanish and international designers. It typically runs for 3–5 days in late spring and early autumn. The programme includes Press Day (for media and influencers), runway shows at venues along the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús, and exclusive after-parties at beach clubs, private villas and superyachts.
Press Day on a Yacht
Press Day is the quietest and most strategic part of the week. Brands present their collections to editors, bloggers and stylists. Instead of a crowded hotel suite, charter a yacht for a relaxed, photogenic setting. The Boat Rental Marbella fleet includes the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) and Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax) — perfect for intimate gatherings with drinks, snacks and sea views. Both depart from Puerto Banús, minutes from the main venues.
Runway Shows from the Water
Some runway shows take place on the Puerto Banús promenade or at beach clubs like Ocean Club. A yacht anchored nearby gives you an unobstructed view of the catwalk without the crowds. The Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m, 12 pax) offers a raised flybridge deck for optimal sightlines. You can watch the show, then cruise along the coast to Cala del Faro for a swim.
After-Parties on Superyachts
After the runway, the party moves to the marina. The biggest after-parties happen on superyachts. Our Marbella fashion week yacht options for parties include:
- Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) — €4,719 minimum 4 hours, includes a jet ski. Spacious sundeck, bar, and sound system.
- Ferretti 94 (29m, 12 pax) — pricing on request. Huge flybridge, salon and aft deck for dancing.
- Canados 86 (26m, 12 pax) — pricing on request. Classic lines with generous outdoor spaces.
All charters include a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, and Spanish VAT (21%).
How to Plan Your Fashion Week Yacht Charter
Here’s what you need to know to book a Marbella fashion week yacht:
- Book early — yachts fill up fast during the event. Aim for 2–3 weeks ahead.
- Choose your vessel — for small groups (up to 11 pax), the Azimut 39 or Astondoa 40 work well. For parties, the Mangusta 80 or Ferretti 94.
- Customise — we can arrange catering, DJs, or a specific route. Contact us via WhatsApp for details.
- Combine with a cruise — after the show, cruise to Cala Cortés or Estepona for a sunset swim.

For a party with up to 12 guests, the Mangusta 80 (24m) or Ferretti 94 (29m) are top choices. Both have spacious sundecks, a bar area, and a sound system. The Mangusta 80 also includes a jet ski for added fun.
