Sail Marbella’s Coast Aboard the Mathxi Aqua 24 Sport

Mathxi -Femis 620 Sport (2024) arrives like a polished coin on the Mediterranean, offering day charters from Marbella's famous coast. Based around Puerto Banús in Marbella, Andalucía, Spain, this three-cabin Aqua 24 Sport is built for sun, sea and social afternoons. Onboard, the wide proa solarium invites long stretches of sunbathing while a shaded stern awning keeps the aft cool and convivial; Bluetooth speakers let you soundtrack the pacing of the trip.

The appeal is both simple and specific: short runs along the Costa del Sol reveal limestone headlands, quiet sandy coves and stretches of seagrass where posidonia meadows nurture local marine life. In the right season you can spot common dolphins and shearwaters breaking the surface, while olive-studded cliffs and pine-cloaked slopes frame the horizon. The Mathxi’s low draft and agile hull make it easy to access small anchorages and glide close to cliffs that larger yachts avoid.

Trips run from one hour up to full-day eight-hour charters, which makes this a flexible option whether you want a sunset cruise, a half-day of snorkeling and swimming, or a longer coastal exploration. The boat’s layout is made for groups up to eight, with an open deck plan that suits families, small friend groups, or couples seeking privacy without sacrificing social space.

Puerto Banús began development in the late 1960s as a port and leisure hub, and the harbor’s glamour spills into every outing—marina skylines, sleek superyachts and waterfront cafés provide a lively backdrop as you slip seaward. Yet moments beyond the harbor feel intentionally remote: quiet beaches, hidden coves and slow drifting over clear, blue water.

Practical details matter: standard bookings include use of the solarium and shaded areas; check-in, safety briefings and provisioning are arranged with the operator at booking. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a dry bag for electronics and a light jacket for evening sails; the breeze stiffens after sunset.

For travelers who value comfort and choice, the Mathxi blends a modern sportboat’s performance with leisure-minded extras. It’s a strong, accessible way to experience Marbella’s marine edge—part upbeat social outing, part low-effort sea exploration—and a natural pick for anyone wanting a polished, swim-and-sun day on the Mediterranean.

Bookings are flexible—hourly rates start at €199.42 for a one-hour rental, with longer blocks priced up to an eight-hour charter—ideal if you want to linger at a favorite cove. The Mathxi accommodates up to eight people, which keeps groups intimate. Safety equipment and a basic briefing are standard; confirm provisioning and pick-up details with the operator when you reserve. Families with older children and groups looking for a private sunset are particularly well served. If you prefer to snorkel, bring your own mask, though operators can supply basic extras on request.
