The Costa del Sol lives up to its name — over 300 days of sunshine a year. But when is the best time to charter a yacht in Marbella? Here's what you need to know.
June, July & August — Peak Season
The summer months are the most popular time to charter. Water temperatures reach 22–24°C, the weather is reliably warm and sunny, and the atmosphere in Puerto Banús is electric. Availability is limited and demand is high, so we recommend booking well in advance for July and August dates.
Best for: Groups who want guaranteed sunshine, warm water and the full summer atmosphere.
May & September — Shoulder Season
These months are arguably the best-kept secret on the Costa del Sol. The weather is warm, the sea is calm, and the marina is far less crowded than in peak summer. You'll often find better availability and a more relaxed experience on board.
Best for: Couples, smaller groups and anyone who prefers a quieter, more exclusive experience.
October & April — Early and Late Season
Still very pleasant by northern European standards — daytime temperatures of 20–22°C and calm seas. A great option for corporate events or groups who want a luxury experience without the summer crowds.
Best for: Corporate charters, off-season celebrations and travellers from northern Europe escaping colder weather.
