Starlite Marbella is one of Europe's most glamorous summer festivals, drawing world-class artists to the Cantera de Nagüeles each July and August. For 2027, you can elevate the experience by pairing a concert night with a luxury Starlite Marbella yacht charter 2027 from Puerto Banús. Cruise the Costa del Sol by day, then step ashore for a headline show – all without the crowds or traffic.
Why combine a yacht charter with Starlite 2027?
Starlite attracts over 100,000 visitors each season, with acts ranging from pop icons to flamenco legends. Arriving by yacht means you skip the parking queues and enjoy a private pre-concert dinner on the water. Our fleet departs from Puerto Banús, just 10 minutes from the festival venue, so you can cruise to Cabopino or Estepona and return in time for the 21:00 curtain.
For groups of 8–12, the Marbella yacht charter experience becomes a full-day affair: swim stops at Cala del Faro, jet-skiing off the Mangusta 80, and sunset cocktails before the concert.

Starlite 2027 dates and tips
The festival typically runs from early July to late August, with concerts most nights. Headliners for 2027 are announced in spring. To secure the best yacht and avoid disappointment, book your Starlite Marbella yacht charter 2027 as early as possible – popular dates like weekends and big-name acts sell out months ahead.
