Speedboat rental in Marbella
Two open, captained boats: one made for photos and swimming, the other for a quick, affordable spin on the water.
Speedboat rental in Marbella lets you soak up the Costa del Sol without committing a whole day to the sea. Two hours is enough to leave Puerto Banús, run the Golden Mile, swim off the Marbella beaches and be back for lunch or dinner. Both boats come with a captain, and the minimum is generally two hours.
The 12.5-metre Fjord 40 Open is a day boat with an open deck, a bow sun pad, a shade top and a stern shower. Its distinctive profile looks superb in photos, it seats 11 and there is a small cabin too, with a top speed of 36 knots. The Quicksilver Activ 805 Open is an eight-metre boat for 9 with a bimini, a swim ladder and Bluetooth audio, good for 40 knots. It is the most affordable way onto the water in Marbella.
Both suit couples and small groups who want a swim and a short beach run. An open boat feels the swell more than a big yacht, and the Levante and Poniente can change conditions within a day, so the captain picks the timing by the forecast.

Speedboat rental in Marbella: FAQ
Fjord 40 or Quicksilver 805: what is the difference?
The Fjord is larger, takes 11, and has a cabin, a shower and a striking design for photos. The Quicksilver is more compact, takes 9 and usually costs less. Both are quick and come with a captain.
Can we see dolphins from a speedboat?
Yes, in the morning the boat can head further offshore, where dolphins are often seen. Sightings are not guaranteed, and a trip like that is better booked for more than two hours.
What if it is too windy?
The captain may move your slot or pick a more sheltered stretch of coast. Rescheduling and refund terms differ between boats and are spelled out in the offer.
