Feria San Bernabé 2047 is Marbella's biggest summer party — and the best way to experience it is from the water. A marbella yacht charter feria san bernabe 2047 lets you escape the crowds, anchor near the fireworks, and celebrate with your own group. Our fleet departs from Puerto Banús, just 5 minutes from the fairground, with prices starting at €749 for 2 hours. Here's everything you need to plan your boat party.
Why charter a yacht for Feria San Bernabé?
The feria draws thousands to Marbella's casetas, but the marina stays relatively quiet. A private yacht gives you a floating base with unlimited drinks, a skipper, and a front-row seat for the nightly fireworks. You can swim between sets, sunbathe on deck, and return to shore whenever you like. No queues, no noise restrictions, no last call.
Our fleet for feria boat parties
We operate from Puerto Banús with yachts from 8m to 29m. For a feria party, these are the most popular choices:
- Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) — €749/2h or €2,299/8h. Great value for smaller groups.
- Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax) — same pricing, slightly higher capacity.
- Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) — from €4,719/4h, includes a jet ski. Best for a premium party.
- Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m, 12 pax) — spacious flybridge with panoramic views.
- Ferretti 94 (29m, 12 pax) — the ultimate luxury option (pricing on request).
All charters include skipper, fuel, drinks (water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava), snacks, insurance, and 21% VAT. No hidden costs.
Feria San Bernabé 2047 dates & schedule
The feria typically runs for 7-8 days in mid-August. The exact 2047 dates will be confirmed by Marbella council in early 2047, but historically it starts on the second Friday of August. Key events:
- Opening night — fireworks and live music at the fairground.
- Daytime casetas — flamenco, food, and family activities from noon.
- Nightly fireworks — around 11pm, visible from the sea.
- Closing parade — traditional floats and horse carriages.
We recommend booking your yacht for the opening or closing night for the best atmosphere.
How to plan your feria yacht charter
Start by deciding your group size and budget. For 8-11 people, the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39 are cost-effective. For 12, go with the Mangusta 80, Azimut 58, or Canados 86. Evening charters (e.g. 7-11pm) align with the fireworks. Day charters let you combine a swim at Cala del Faro with afternoon feria visits.
All boats depart from Puerto Banús — a 5-minute taxi from the feria grounds. We recommend arriving 15 minutes early for boarding. Contact us via WhatsApp for availability and custom durations. For more general advice, see our Marbella yacht charter guide.
What to bring on board
We provide towels, sunscreen, and a Bluetooth speaker on most yachts. You're welcome to bring your own food, decorations, or a cake. Avoid glass bottles. Swimwear is essential — the water off Marbella hits 24-26°C in August. A light jacket is useful for the evening breeze.
Evening vs daytime charters
Daytime (10am-6pm) is ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and a relaxed cruise to Cabopino or Estepona. Evening (6pm-midnight) lets you watch the sunset behind La Concha, then motor back to the feria fireworks. Both options work well; many groups book a full 8-hour day to do both.
Frequently asked questions
What is Feria San Bernabé 2047?
Feria San Bernabé is Marbella's annual summer fair, honouring the city's patron saint. In 2047 it runs for about a week in mid-August, with casetas (tents), live music, flamenco, fairground rides, and a spectacular fireworks display over the sea. The main action is in the fairground near the town centre, a short taxi or walk from Puerto Banús.
Can I watch the feria fireworks from a yacht?
Absolutely. The fireworks are launched from the coast near Marbella's promenade, and many yachts anchor just offshore for a front-row view. Our 12m+ boats like the Azimut 58 or Mangusta 80 offer plenty of deck space. Evening charters (e.g. 4-8pm or 7-11pm) work best for the display.
Which yachts are best for a feria boat party?
For groups of up to 12, the Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m) or Mangusta 80 (24m) are popular — they have spacious sun decks and saloons. For a smaller budget, the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) or Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax) are excellent. All depart from Puerto Banús, 5 minutes from the feria.
What is included in the charter price?
Every charter includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). No hidden extras. For the Mangusta 80, a jet ski is also included free. Just bring your swimwear and party spirit.
How much does a feria yacht charter cost?
Our Tier A boats (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39) start at €749 for 2 hours, or €2,299 for a full 8-hour day. The Mangusta 80 is €4,719 for a minimum 4-hour charter (jet ski included). For other vessels like the Ferretti 94 or Canados 86, pricing is on request via WhatsApp.
How do I book a yacht for Feria San Bernabé 2047?
Contact us via WhatsApp or our website. Because the feria is a peak period, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Specify your group size, preferred date, and duration. We'll confirm availability and send a booking link with payment options.
Can I bring my own food or decorations?
Yes, you're welcome to bring extra food, decorations, or a birthday cake. Our standard snacks are provided, but many groups bring tapas or a picnic. Just avoid glass bottles on board for safety. Your skipper can advise on storage space.
Is there a minimum age for passengers?
There is no strict minimum age, but all passengers must be listed on the manifest. Children are welcome on most yachts. For safety, life jackets are available for all sizes. The skipper has final say on boarding if conditions are rough. We recommend children over 5 for open-deck boats.
