Marbella Luxury Weekend is the Costa del Sol's most anticipated showcase of opulence, drawing superyachts, supercars, and VIPs to Puerto Banús each June. Whether you are a seasoned attendee or a first-time visitor, chartering a Marbella Luxury Weekend yacht offers an unmatched perspective: you can cruise past the floating displays, anchor near the marina action, and enjoy the Mediterranean sun in total privacy. Our fleet departs directly from Puerto Banús, putting you at the centre of the event from the moment you step aboard.
What Is Marbella Luxury Weekend?
Marbella Luxury Weekend is an annual multi-day event that transforms Puerto Banús into a glittering showcase of high-end yachts, luxury cars, designer fashion, and gourmet dining. The Showcase Days are the highlight, where the marina's docks become a catwalk for the latest superyachts and exclusive brands. Attracting influencers, celebrities, and luxury enthusiasts from across Europe, the event is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life. For those who want to experience it from the water, a private charter is the ultimate upgrade.
Why Charter a Yacht for the Event?
Viewing Marbella Luxury Weekend from a private boat offers several advantages. You avoid the crowds on the marina promenade, enjoy uninterrupted views of the superyacht displays, and can anchor in the bay for a swim between events. Our charters include a licensed skipper, fuel, drinks, and snacks, so you can focus on the spectacle. With boats ranging from the 6.4m Mariah SX21 to the 29m Ferretti 94, there is an option for every group size and budget. Prices start at €749 for a 2-hour charter on an Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39, both departing from Puerto Banús.
