If you are looking for the ultimate day on the water in Marbella, the Ferretti 94 is the flagship of our fleet. At 29 metres (95 feet), it is the largest yacht we offer, and it delivers a genuine superyacht experience without the superyacht price tag. This is our honest review of what it is really like to charter the Ferretti 94 from Puerto Banús.
First Impressions: Stepping Aboard at Puerto Banús
You meet the Ferretti 94 at the dock in Puerto Banús. At 29 metres, she towers over most of the other charter boats in the marina. The crew greets you at the gangway, and you step onto the aft deck. The first thing you notice is the space: the teak-laid cockpit has a large dining table and a built-in sofa that seats eight easily. The salon doors slide open, making the indoor and outdoor areas feel like one continuous room. The interior is light, with cream leather sofas and a galley to port. The helm station is forward, but you will probably spend most of your time on the flybridge or the bow.
The Flybridge: Where You Will Spend Your Day
Up the teak stairs, the flybridge is the real living area. There is a wet bar with a sink, fridge, and ice maker, a large U-shaped sofa, and a sun pad aft. The skipper steers from a second helm station here, so you can chat while he navigates. The bimini provides shade, but the sun pads get full sun – perfect for tanning. On a calm day, you can cruise at 20-22 knots, and the ride is smooth. The Ferretti 94 has a deep-V hull, so even in a slight chop, you stay dry and comfortable.
Interior: Salon, Cabins, and Amenities
Below deck, the Ferretti 94 has four cabins: a master suite amidships with a king bed and en suite, a VIP forward, and two twin cabins. All have air conditioning, TVs, and en suite heads. The finish is high-gloss walnut and marble. For a day charter, you probably will not use the cabins, but they are there if you need to change or rest. The galley is fully equipped, though the crew handles all food and drink. The boat carries a full inventory of glassware, crockery, and linens.
Where You Can Go: Best Routes from Puerto Banús
From Puerto Banús, you have several options. The most popular route is east to Cala del Faro and Cala Cortés, two sheltered coves with clear water. It is about 15 minutes at cruising speed. Another option is west to Estepona, a 20-minute run, where you can anchor off the old town. If you want a longer trip, head to Sotogrande (45 minutes) or even Gibraltar (1 hour 15 minutes). The crew will recommend a route based on the wind and your preferences. All charters include a stop for swimming, and you can bring your own snorkel gear or use the boat's masks.
What's Included and What's Extra
Every charter on the Ferretti 94 includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). That means you pay nothing extra on the day. If you want a jet ski, you can add one for an additional fee – we recommend booking in advance. The crew will prepare a lunch if you request it (chargeable), or you can bring your own food. We also offer a champagne upgrade for celebrations.
Who Is the Ferretti 94 For?
This yacht is ideal for groups who want a premium experience without the formality of a crewed superyacht. It works well for corporate days, milestone birthdays, proposals, and family outings. The maximum of 12 guests means you have plenty of space – you will never feel crowded. Because we operate a boat rental Marbella service that is owner-managed, the service is personal and flexible. The Ferretti 94 is not the cheapest option in our fleet – the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39 start at €749 for two hours – but for a true luxury day, it is unmatched.
