The Starlite Festival 2033 is Marbella's most anticipated summer event – a world-class concert series set in the hills above the Golden Mile. But why drive straight to the venue when you can start the evening with a sunset cruise from Puerto Banús? A pre-concert yacht charter turns your night out into a full experience: champagne, coastline views, and a stylish arrival at the marina before a short transfer to the show.
Why Choose a Pre-Concert Yacht Charter for Starlite 2033?
Marbella in July and August delivers 14 hours of daylight and sea temperatures around 24°C. A pre-concert cruise lets you escape the heat, catch the breeze, and watch the sun dip behind La Concha mountain. You'll cruise past the mansions of the Golden Mile, the sand of Cabopino, and the cliffs of Cala del Faro – all while sipping cava or a cold beer. Then you step ashore, refreshed and ready for the music.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Puerto Banús from Starlite Festival?
Puerto Banús is about 15 minutes' drive from the Starlite Festival venue in the hills above Marbella. A pre-concert yacht charter lets you enjoy the sunset cruise, then a quick taxi or arranged transfer gets you to the concert in time.
What boats are best for a Starlite pre-concert group?
For groups up to 9, the Astondoa 40 (€749/2h) is ideal. For up to 11 guests, the Azimut 39 (€749/2h) offers more space. Larger groups of 12 can charter the Mangusta 80 or Azimut 58 Flybridge – pricing on request via WhatsApp.
What's included in the pre-concert cruise?
Every charter includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). Just bring your concert ticket and a good mood.
Can we add jet skis to our pre-concert charter?
Yes – the Mangusta 80 (white or grey) charter includes a free jet ski for groups booking a minimum of 4 hours (€4,719). Other boats may accommodate jet skis on request; ask via WhatsApp.
What time should we depart for a 9pm Starlite concert?
We recommend a 2-hour charter departing at 6pm or 6.30pm. You'll cruise the coast, watch the sunset over La Concha, then head ashore by 8pm for a quick transfer to Starlite. For longer evenings, a 4-hour charter from 5pm works well.
Is there a dress code for the yacht?
Smart-casual is fine – no high heels on deck (they damage the teak). Bring a light jacket or sweater; evenings on the water can be breezy even in summer. Starlite itself is smart-casual too.
Can we bring our own food or decorations?
Yes, you're welcome to bring your own food or birthday decorations. Our standard charter already includes drinks and snacks, but extra catering can be arranged on request. Just let us know when booking.
