Things to do in Puerto Banús by boat

Puerto Banús is worth seeing from the land — but it's a different place entirely from the water. Approaching the marina by boat, with the superyachts ahead and La Concha rising behind, is one of the best half-days on this coast. Here's what a trip looks like.

The marina from the water

There's no better view of Banús than from just offshore: rows of some of the world's largest yachts, the whitewashed Andalusian village behind them, and the buzz of the quay. We cruise the front at an easy pace so you can take it all in — camera ready.

The beach clubs

Either side of the marina sit Marbella's famous beach clubs — Nikki Beach and Ocean Club among them. We can anchor just off them so you swim, relax and watch the scene from the water, drink in hand, without fighting for a sunbed.

Swim where the water's best

Between the landmarks are the quiet bits: calm, clear patches to drop anchor and swim, away from the crowds. On a good day dolphins range along this stretch too — never guaranteed, but always a possibility on the way out or back.

What a half-day looks like

It's the classic Marbella day — the glamour and the calm, on your own private boat, at your own pace.
