Puerto Banús is world famous as a chic destination, with exclusive shopping, refined restaurants and popular nightclubs, but there is another aspect of ‘The Port’ that attracts visitors around the year, and that is its yacht harbour.
The marina in Puerto Banús is one of the most spectacular in Spain thanks to the range of boats moored there. From the lavish yachts of international high net worth individuals to smaller craft, it is a boat lover’s dream and a playground for the keen sailor. The marina has 915 berths and its slips can handle boats measuring eight to 50 metres, on an unbelievable 15 hectares.
Some people associate boating, or yachting, with the summer season, but in Puerto Banús, and southern Spain generally, you can enjoy being out on the water all year round. It is a respected centre for boat hire, as well as boat sales if you are considering buying anything from a jet ski to a Sunseeker or Ferretti cruiser, and if you would like to learn more about the art of sailing, look out for the RYA-approved educational centres on the Costa del Sol.
For example, Medboat offers a range of courses that covers crewing and skippering. These are internationally recognised and completion of the course puts you in the enviable position of being qualified to sail across the world. Young people under 18 can also take the courses providing an adult accompanies them—it’s an excellent hobby, and a potentially professional skill to encourage in the younger generation, so why not start it on the beautiful Mediterranean?
Yacht Charter Marbella in Benabola, on the port’s western edge, charters yachts and when you want to peruse what is for sale, head to Marbella Yachts S.A., X-treme Marine Spain and Princess Motor Yachts Marbella, all based on the marina’s frontline. There are many others in the vicinity, including Pier Zero Yachts, Nautica and Banús Yachts. If you want to study what is on offer before visiting the Puerto Banús marina we suggest checking what is available in the online magazine Yacht World.
