Marbella yacht charter for the F1 Grand Prix 2047 weekend is the smartest way to combine high-octane racing with Mediterranean luxury. While the actual circuit sits 900 km north in Barcelona, the real action in Marbella happens on the water and in Puerto Banús. Charter a boat from €749 for 2 hours, anchor off the Golden Mile, stream the race on deck, and then join the marina party. Here’s how to plan your weekend.
Why charter a yacht for the F1 weekend in Marbella?
The Grand Prix weekend transforms Marbella into a hub of glamour, but the beaches and clubs get crowded. A private yacht gives you space, comfort, and a front-row seat to the coastline. You can watch the race on a large screen, swim in calm coves, and return to Puerto Banús for the evening buzz. With a licensed skipper included, you don’t need a boating licence – just turn up and relax.
Which boats are available for the F1 weekend?
We have a fleet of 29 boats, all departing from Puerto Banús. For couples or small groups, the Dubhe (8m, 5 pax) or Mariah SX21 (6.4m, 5 pax) are nimble options. For parties of up to 12, choose the Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m), Mangusta 80 (24m), or Ferretti 94 (29m). The Mangusta 80 also includes a free jet ski – perfect for adrenaline between races.

Where to anchor and watch the race
Most guests anchor near Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés, where you can drop anchor, swim, and set up a screen. The water is calm, and the views of La Concha mountain are stunning. If you prefer to be closer to the action, anchor off Puerto Banús itself – you’ll hear the music from the beach clubs and can dinghy ashore for dinner.
How to plan your F1 weekend itinerary
Start with a morning charter from 10:00 to 14:00 – enjoy the coast, swim, and have lunch on board. Return to port for the race broadcast (usually 15:00 Spanish time), then head out again for an evening cruise with cava and sunset. If you book a full-day (8h) charter, you can do all of this in one go. For a shorter burst, a 2-hour sunset cruise works perfectly.
What’s included in every charter – no surprises
- Licensed skipper (English-speaking)
- Fuel for the entire charter

Frequently asked questions
Can I watch the F1 Grand Prix from a yacht in Marbella?
Yes, but the circuit is in Barcelona, about 900 km up the coast, so you can't see the race directly. Instead, most guests charter a yacht for the weekend to enjoy the atmosphere, watch the race on board via live stream, and then party in Puerto Banús. Some boats anchor near beach clubs with big screens.
How much does a yacht charter cost for the F1 weekend in 2047?
Our Tier A boats (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39) cost €749 for 2 hours or €2,299 for 8 hours, with skipper, drinks, snacks, and tax included. The Mangusta 80 (including grey variant) starts at €4,719 for a 4-hour charter and includes a jet ski. Other boats are priced on request via WhatsApp.
Which yacht is best for a group of 10 for the F1 weekend?
For 10 guests, the Azimut 39 (11 pax) or Fairline Targa 12m (10 pax) are ideal. If you want more space and a flybridge, the Azimut 58 Flybridge holds 12 and offers great views. For a luxury experience with a jet ski, the Mangusta 80 (12 pax) is a top choice.
Can I bring my own food and drinks on board?
You're welcome to bring extra food and drinks, but every charter already includes water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light snacks. If you have specific requests, let us know when you book – we can arrange catering for an additional fee.
What happens if the weather is bad on the F1 weekend?
Safety comes first. If the skipper decides conditions are unsafe, we'll reschedule your charter or offer a full refund. Marbella in late spring usually has calm seas and 20–25°C, but we monitor forecasts closely and will keep you informed.
Is the jet ski included with the Mangusta 80 charter?
Yes, the Mangusta 80 (both white and grey variants) includes a jet ski free of charge for the duration of your charter. That's a great way to add adrenaline to your F1 weekend – just ask the skipper for the best spots to ride.
How far in advance should I book for the F1 weekend?
Book at least 3–4 months ahead. Puerto Banús is packed during the Grand Prix weekend, and our fleet is limited. Early booking also gives you the best choice of boats and time slots. Use WhatsApp to check availability for your preferred date.
Where does the yacht depart from?
All our boats depart from Puerto Banús, the glamorous marina in Marbella. You'll meet the crew at the dock, board, and set off along the coast. We'll send you exact berth details after booking. Arrive 15 minutes early to settle in.
