Invictus 280 GT

The Invictus 280 GT is built for speed and a tight, sporty deck rather than for lounging on multiple sun pads. At 8.9 metres she carries up to eight guests comfortably, with a single cabin below that works well for changing, storing bags, or getting out of the midday sun rather than for staying overnight. Everything about the layout favours movement: a helm position with a clear view forward, open bow and cockpit seating, and enough room to move around without feeling boxed in.

From Puerto Banús, a short run west along the coast toward Estepona puts you off a quieter stretch of water within a manageable stretch of the afternoon. The boat's size makes it easy to hold close to the beach line for a swim stop before turning back, without the planning that a bigger vessel or an overnight route would need. It is a practical option for guests who want a few hours on the water rather than a full day at sea.

This size and guest count suit couples, small groups of friends, or families with older children who are happy with an active, low-key day rather than a formal sit-down cruise. Because it is a day boat, bookings tend to run in half-day or short afternoon slots out of Marbella, which makes the Invictus 280 GT a straightforward add-on to a stay on the coast rather than a multi-day commitment.
