Marbella Luxury Shopping Week is the Costa del Sol’s premier retail event, drawing VIP shoppers to the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús for exclusive deals, champagne, and after-hours access. But the real luxury? Arriving by private yacht. Charter a boat from our fleet in Puerto Banús and combine boutique hopping with a Mediterranean cruise — no traffic, no queues, just sea, sun, and style.
Why charter a yacht during Shopping Week?
Marbella’s Golden Mile and Puerto Banús are packed during the event. A private yacht gives you a floating base: dock at the marina, walk to Dior or Cartier, then retreat to your deck for a glass of cava. Our charters include a licensed skipper, fuel, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light snacks — so you can focus on shopping, not logistics. Prices start at €749 for two hours on an Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) or Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax), both departing from Puerto Banús.
Our fleet for VIP shoppers
We operate 18 boats from Puerto Banús, from speedboats to superyachts. For Shopping Week, these are the top picks:
- Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m, 12 pax) – spacious flybridge for sunset drinks after shopping. Price on request.
- Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) – head-turner with a free jet ski included. Minimum 4h at €4,719.
- Ferretti 94 (29m, 12 pax) – ultimate luxury for a group of VIPs. Price on request.
- Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) – affordable elegance at €749/2h or €2,299/8h.
All charters include skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and 21% VAT. No hidden costs.
How to combine shopping and sailing
Our skippers can tailor the itinerary. A typical day: depart Puerto Banús at 11:00, cruise to Cala del Faro for a swim, dock at Marbella Marina at 14:00 for shopping, then return to Puerto Banús for an evening cocktail. Alternatively, stay moored in Puerto Banús and use the yacht as a private lounge between store visits. We can also arrange a tender to take you directly to the Golden Mile beach clubs.
Pricing that works for groups
Tier A boats (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39) are the most affordable: €749 for 2 hours, €2,299 for 8 hours. Tier B (Mangusta 80) starts at €4,719 for 4 hours and includes a jet ski. For other yachts like the Azimut 58 or Ferretti 94, pricing is on request — contact us via WhatsApp for a custom quote. All prices include VAT, skipper, fuel, and drinks.
Local tips for Shopping Week
Puerto Banús boutiques often extend hours until 22:00 during the event. Book a late-afternoon charter (16:00–20:00) to catch the best light and the evening champagne receptions. After shopping, cruise to Cabopino or Estepona for dinner. La Concha mountain provides a stunning backdrop for photos. Remember to bring sunscreen and a light jacket — the sea breeze can be cool even in June.

Demand is high during Shopping Week. We recommend booking at least a week in advance. Contact us via WhatsApp or the enquiry form on our Boat Rental Marbella page. We’ll confirm availability within 2 hours and can arrange same-day bookings for smaller boats if slots remain. Your yacht awaits.
