Marbella Parapente SL (translated as Marbella Paragliders) was a Spanish aircraft manufacturing firm headquartered in Málaga, established by Pierre Aubert. The company focused on creating and producing paramotors designed as ready-to-fly aircraft compliant with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles regulations as well as the European microlight standards.
The business appears to have been operational prior to 1998 and ceased operations in March 2005.
Structured as a Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada, Marbella Parapente functioned as a Spanish limited liability company.
Their product lineup included the PAP series of paramotors, distinguished by innovative features like integrating the reserve parachute within the frame design.
Paramotors from the PAP series achieved first-place victories at the world championships consecutively from 2001 through 2004.
In June 1998, pilot Ramon Morillas established a world record by flying a PAP paramotor across Spain, covering approximately 644 km (400 mi) from the southwest to northeast in about eleven and a half hours.
