San Pedro Feria 2026 runs from Tuesday 2 June to Sunday 7 June. The fairground at Arroyo de la Miel fills with casetas, live music and the smell of churros. But the smart move is to book a San Pedro feria boat for the day before (Monday 1 June) and a recovery cruise the day after (Monday 8 June). Here’s how to do it from Puerto Banús.
San Pedro Feria 2026 Dates
The fair officially opens on the evening of Tuesday 2 June and closes after midnight on Sunday 7 June. Daytime is family-friendly with rides and children’s activities; evenings are for casetas, dancing and late-night tapas. The weather in early June averages 27 °C air temperature and 22 °C sea temperature, with 10 hours of sunshine.
The Yacht Day Before (Monday 1 June)
Arrive a day early and charter a boat from Puerto Banús. You’re only 2 NM from San Pedro, so you can cruise the coast, anchor at Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés for a swim, and still be ashore by early evening. The Astondoa 40 (12.5 m, 9 pax) costs €749 for 2 hours or €2,299 for 8 hours. The Azimut 39 (12.5 m, 11 pax) is the same price. Both include skipper, fuel, drinks and snacks. You step off the boat relaxed and ready for the opening night.
The Recovery Cruise After (Monday 8 June)
After five nights of feria, you need a day of zero effort. Book a post-feria cruise on Monday 8 June. The Mangusta 80 (24 m, 12 pax) from €4,719 for 4 hours includes a jet ski. Or take the Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6 m, 12 pax) for a quieter ride. The skipper handles everything. You sit on the flybridge with a cold beer or cava, watch the coast slide by, and reset before the work week.

Where to Anchor Near San Pedro
The coast between Puerto Banús and San Pedro has several anchorages. Cala del Faro is a small cove with clear water, popular for swimming. Cala Cortés is slightly larger and quieter midweek. Both are within 10 minutes of Puerto Banús. Further west, the Río Verde estuary has a sandy beach where you can anchor and wade ashore. Your skipper knows the best spots for the day’s wind and swell.
How to Get to Puerto Banús from San Pedro
Puerto Banús is 3.7 km east of San Pedro Alcántara — a 5-minute drive or a 25-minute walk along the beach promenade. Parking is available at the marina (pay and display). If you’re staying in San Pedro, you can walk or take a taxi for about €8. The boat leaves from the main dock; your skipper will meet you at the agreed time.
Why Book the Day Before and After
Most people arrive on Tuesday and leave on Sunday. That means crowds, queues and noise. By arriving Monday and leaving Monday, you get two calm days on the water and five nights of feria. The San Pedro feria boat experience is about pacing yourself — start relaxed, end relaxed, and enjoy the fair in between.

What is the 'yacht day before'?
The yacht day before is a pre-feria charter on Monday 1 June. You take a boat from Puerto Banús, spend 2–8 hours cruising the Costa del Sol, anchor for a swim, and arrive in San Pedro relaxed and ready for the opening night. It’s a calm start before the fair gets loud.

The recovery cruise is a post-feria charter on Monday 8 June. After five nights of casetas, music and late tapas, you spend a day on the water with cold drinks, a skipper doing all the work, and zero noise. It’s the best way to reset before heading home.

Puerto Banús is just 2 nautical miles (about 3.7 km) east of San Pedro Alcántara. By boat it’s a 10–15 minute cruise. By car it’s a 5-minute drive. All our charters depart from Puerto Banús, so you’re never far from the feria action.
Which boat is best for a San Pedro feria group?
For a group of 9–11, the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39 (both Tier A at €749/2h) work well. For up to 12 guests, the Mangusta 80 (from €4,719/4h) includes a free jet ski. If you want a smaller, faster option, the Pershing 46 (10 pax) is a good choice.

Can I book a boat for just the morning of the feria?
Yes. Tier A boats (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39) start at 2-hour charters for €749. That’s enough time to cruise from Puerto Banús to San Pedro, anchor for a swim and a drink, then head ashore. For a full day including lunch afloat, book 8 hours at €2,299.
Do I need to book in advance for San Pedro Feria 2026?
Yes. June is peak season on the Costa del Sol, and San Pedro Feria draws large crowds. Boats are limited to 5–12 passengers depending on the model. We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks ahead, especially for the day before and recovery cruise.
