Marc Anthony returns to Starlite Marbella in August 2025, and there is no better way to start the weekend than with a yacht charter from Puerto Banús the day before the concert. Combine a day on the Mediterranean with an evening of salsa-infused hits – the perfect Marbella double-header. Our fleet departs from Puerto Banús, just 10 minutes from the Starlite auditorium, and the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) is available from €749 for 2 hours or €2,299 for 8 hours, all inclusive.
Why Charter a Yacht the Day Before Marc Anthony at Starlite?
Marbella in August is hot – average daytime temperatures hit 31°C. A yacht charter lets you escape the crowds, cool off in the sea, and arrive at Starlite relaxed and refreshed. The day before the concert is ideal: you can anchor at Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés, swim in crystal-clear water, and enjoy lunch on board before heading back to port. The concert itself starts around 21:00, so a half-day charter (4 hours) gives you plenty of time to return, shower, and grab dinner.

Starlite Marbella: What to Expect
Starlite is an open-air auditorium set in a former quarry in the Nagüeles hills, about 3 km from Puerto Banús. Capacity is around 3,000 seats, and the venue offers dinner packages, VIP lounges, and a dedicated taxi drop-off area. Marc Anthony typically performs a 90-minute set covering his greatest hits – from “Vivir Mi Vida” to “I Need to Know”. Doors usually open at 20:00, with the show starting at 21:00. Dress code is smart casual; the venue is dusty, so avoid heels if possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Marc Anthony perform in Marbella?
Marc Anthony performs at Starlite Marbella, an open-air auditorium in the Nagüeles quarry, about 10 minutes' drive from Puerto Banús. The venue hosts international stars every summer. For 2025, the concert date is expected in August – check the official Starlite calendar once announced.
How do I get from Puerto Banús to Starlite Marbella?
A taxi from Puerto Banús to Starlite Marbella takes roughly 10 minutes and costs around €15-20. If you're staying on a yacht in the marina, you can easily walk to the taxi rank at the port entrance. The concert venue is uphill, so taxis are the simplest option.
Can I charter a yacht on the same day as the concert?
Yes – many guests book a half-day charter (4 hours) in the afternoon, then return to Puerto Banús by 18:00, freshen up, and head to the concert. The Astondoa 40 (€749/2h) or Azimut 39 (€749/2h) work well for a shorter trip. Just ensure your charter ends early enough to reach Starlite by doors open (typically 20:00).
What is included in the yacht 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%). There are no hidden extras – the price you see is the price you pay. The Astondoa 40 is €749 for 2 hours and €2,299 for 8 hours.
Which yacht is best for a group going to the concert?
For up to 9 guests, the Astondoa 40 (12.5m) is a great choice at €749/2h. For up to 11 guests, the Azimut 39 (12.5m) is in the same price bracket. Both depart from Puerto Banús. If you have a larger group (up to 12), consider the Mangusta 80 (24m) from €4,719 for 4 hours.
What is the best itinerary for a day charter before the concert?
A popular route: depart Puerto Banús at 14:00, cruise east past the Golden Mile and Marbella Marina, anchor at Cala del Faro for swimming and snacks, then return by 18:00. This gives you time to shower and eat before heading to Starlite at around 20:00. The total sailing distance is about 10 NM round trip.
Can I bring my own food and drinks on the yacht?
Yes – you are welcome to bring your own food and additional drinks. The charter already includes soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light snacks. There is no corkage fee. Just let us know in advance if you plan to bring a large cooler so we can accommodate it on board.
