Forget the overcrowded promenades and sky-high hotel balconies. On New Year's Eve 2036, the best seat in Marbella is on the water – a private yacht charter from Puerto Banús, anchored metres from the midnight fireworks. With a fleet ranging from compact speedboats to 29-metre superyachts, you can toast 2037 with champagne, a clear view of the pier, and zero queues for the bar.
Why a Yacht is the Best NYE 2036 Fireworks Viewpoint
Marbella's main fireworks launch from the Puerto Banús pier at midnight. From a yacht anchored 300–500 metres offshore, you get an unobstructed, front-row view of the entire display – no jostling, no blocked sightlines. The sound echoes across the water, and the reflection of fireworks on the sea doubles the spectacle. Plus, you control the playlist, the drinks, and the company.

Best Anchor Spots for Fireworks
Your skipper will know the best position for the night. Popular anchorages include:
- Cala del Faro – just west of Puerto Banús, offers a clear view of the pier and the coastline.
- Cala Cortés – a quieter cove east of the marina, still within easy sight of the fireworks.
- Off the Golden Mile – a central spot with a panoramic view of the entire Marbella bay.
All locations are within 10–15 minutes' cruise from Puerto Banús.
What to Expect on the Night
Charters typically depart from Puerto Banús at 10 PM (2-hour slot) or 6 PM (8-hour slot). Your skipper will navigate to the anchorage, drop anchor, and you'll have full run of the boat. The fireworks start at midnight and last 10–15 minutes. After the display, you can cruise back to the marina or stay out to enjoy the after-party atmosphere on the water. December sea temperatures hover around 16°C, so bring a warm jacket – the flybridge breeze can be brisk.
