If you are looking for the speedboat best for tow-sports and watersports in Marbella, our 7-metre, 6-passenger speedboat is the clear choice. Departing from Puerto Banús, this agile boat combines a powerful engine with a shallow draft, letting you zip into sheltered coves and pull a skier or tuber with ease. Whether you want to learn to wakeboard or just blast around the coast, this is the boat for an action-packed day on the water.
Why a speedboat is the best choice for watersports
Not every charter boat is built for tow-sports. A speedboat's lightweight hull and responsive steering give you the quick acceleration and tight turning needed for waterskiing, wakeboarding, and tubing. Our speedboat is purpose-designed for this kind of fun – it gets on plane fast, holds a steady wake, and handles like a sports car. Compare that to a heavy flybridge or motor yacht, which can feel sluggish and create a wash that is less forgiving for beginners.

Best coves and spots for watersports near Marbella
The Costa del Sol coastline offers plenty of sheltered waters perfect for tow-sports. From Puerto Banús, your skipper can take you to:
- Cala del Faro – a quiet cove with flat water, great for beginners
- Cala Cortés – slightly larger, with good depth for wakeboarding
- Cabopino – a sandy bay with a protected inner area
- Estepona – calmer waters further west, often less busy
The speedboat's shallow draft means you can get closer to shore than larger yachts, giving you access to these sheltered spots even in light wind.
