Planning an Estepona hen party boat charter 2046? You're looking at a day of sun, swimming, and celebration along the Costa del Sol. This breakdown covers real costs — from €749 for a 2-hour trip — boat options, what's included, and how to keep the party smooth. No fluff, just numbers and honest advice.
Why choose a boat charter for an Estepona hen party?
Estepona's coastline offers calm waters, hidden coves like Cala del Faro and Cala Cortés, and a relaxed vibe away from the Puerto Banús crowds. A private charter gives your group total freedom: swim stops, music, and privacy. All boats depart from Puerto Banús, just 10 minutes by car from Estepona centre. The Estepona hen party boat charter 2046 market is competitive, but our fleet offers clear pricing with no surprises.
Budget breakdown: what you'll actually pay
Our boats fall into two pricing tiers. Tier A (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39) costs €749 for 2 hours, €1,299 for 4 hours, €1,799 for 6 hours, or €2,299 for 8 hours. Tier B (Mangusta 80, both white and grey) starts at €4,719 for a minimum 4-hour charter and includes a free jet ski. For all other boats — like the Ferretti 94, Canados 86, or Maiora 26m — pricing is on request via WhatsApp. Every price includes the skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and 21% VAT. No hidden fees.
Extra costs you might consider: a DJ (€300–€500), photographer (€250–€400), prosecco tower (€150–€250), or a catered paella platter (€20–€30 per person). These are optional and arranged on request.
Which boat fits your hen party size?
Hen parties range from intimate groups of 5 to full-on 12-person celebrations. Here's a quick guide:
- 5–6 guests: Dubhe (8m, 5 pax) or Mariah SX21 (6.4m, 5 pax) — cosy and budget-friendly.
- 8–10 guests: Pershing 46 (14m, 10 pax), Fairline Targa 12m (12m, 10 pax), or Lagoon 380 (11.6m, 10 pax).
- 10–12 guests: Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax), Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m, 12 pax), or Ferretti 94 (29m, 12 pax) — plenty of deck space for dancing and sunbathing.
For a classic hen party with a jet ski, the Mangusta 80 is a popular pick. The flybridge on the Azimut 58 gives panoramic views and a second lounge area.
What's included — and what's not
Included on every charter: licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). You can bring your own decorations and food. The boat provides glassware and a fridge. Not included: DJ, photographer, prosecco tower, or premium spirits — these can be added for an extra fee. No hidden charges for cleaning or docking.
Tips for a flawless hen party day
- Book early: Peak season (July–August) fills up 3–6 months ahead. May, June, and September offer better availability and slightly cooler temps.
- Plan your itinerary: Tell the skipper your preferred swimming spots. Cala del Faro and Cala Cortés are sheltered and beautiful. You can also cruise past the Marbella Golden Mile and La Concha mountain backdrop.
- Pack smart: Swimwear, towels, sunscreen (reef-safe), hats, sunglasses, and a light jacket for the evening breeze. A waterproof phone case is handy for photos.
- Consider a half-day (4 hours): This gives you time for a swim stop, lunch, and some cruising. Full-day (8 hours) includes a longer lunch and multiple anchorages.
- Check the weather: The skipper monitors conditions and may adjust the route. In case of rough seas, you can reschedule or cancel per our terms.
