Why Choose a Yacht for New Year's Eve in Marbella?

Fireworks Display from the Water
Puerto Banús launches a spectacular fireworks show at midnight on New Year's Eve. From a yacht anchored near the harbour entrance, you'll have a front-row view without the crowds. The reflection of the fireworks on the Mediterranean is a sight you won't forget. We'll position the boat for the best angles – just bring your camera.
Dinner Options: Onboard or Ashore
You have two choices for dinner. Option 1: Catered onboard – we can arrange Spanish tapas, seafood platters, or a gourmet menu. Drinks (cava, wine, beer, soft drinks) are already included. Option 2: Dock at Marbella Marina or Puerto Banús and dine at a waterfront restaurant like Lobito de Mar or Bibo, then return to sea for the countdown. Either way, the yacht is your private base for the night.
Party Ideas: Music, Decor & More
Make it your own. Bring a Bluetooth speaker or hire a DJ. Decorate the saloon with balloons and banners. Pop champagne at midnight – we'll provide the cava and glasses. For a truly memorable night, consider a sunset cruise before dinner, or a post-midnight sail under the stars. The yacht's deck is perfect for dancing, and the saloon offers a cosy retreat if the sea breeze gets chilly.
