The Marbella Tennis Open 2026 brings top-level ATP Challenger action to the Puente Romano Tennis Club on the Golden Mile. For visitors who want more than baseline hospitality, a private yacht charter from Puerto Banús turns a day of tennis into a full Mediterranean experience. Here is how to plan it, boat by boat.
Why combine tennis with a yacht charter?
Puerto Banús is 5 km west of the Puente Romano club — a 10-minute taxi ride. You can watch a morning quarter-final, grab lunch at a beach club, then board your boat at Banús by 15:00 for an afternoon cruise. The tournament schedule typically finishes by early evening, leaving you time for a sunset swim at Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés, both 20 minutes east of the marina.
Fleet options for match days
We operate from Puerto Banús with a range of vessels. For small groups, the Boat Rental Marbella Tier A boats are the best value: the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 passengers) and Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 passengers) from €749 for 2 hours up to €2,299 for a full 8-hour day. All inclusive — skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, and VAT.
For a VIP experience, the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 passengers) — available in grey and white — starts at €4,719 for a 4-hour charter and includes a free jet ski. Other large yachts such as the Ferretti 94 (29m), Canados 86 (26m), and Maiora 26m (all 12 passengers) are available on request via WhatsApp.
