Planning a stag weekend in Marbella and want to hit the water without blowing your budget? A yacht charter is the ultimate group activity, combining sun, sea, and celebration along the Costa del Sol. This breakdown covers costs, boat options, and what's included, so your crew can focus on the fun. Whether you're after a quick 2-hour spin or a full-day party, our fleet in Puerto Banús has you covered.
Why Choose a Yacht Charter for Your Marbella Stag Weekend?
Marbella's coastline is made for group adventures. With 320 days of sunshine a year, you can cruise past landmarks like La Concha mountain, stop for a swim at Cala del Faro, or anchor near the Golden Mile. A private charter gives your group exclusive access – no crowded beach bars, just your own floating party. Plus, with a skipper handling the navigation, you can relax and enjoy the drinks and snacks included in every booking.
Budget Breakdown: What Does a Stag Yacht Charter Cost?
Prices vary by boat size and duration. Here's a clear breakdown for groups:
- Tier A (Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39): €749 for 2 hours, up to €2,299 for 8 hours. Perfect for groups of 9-11. Includes skipper, drinks, and snacks.
- Tier B (Mangusta 80, any colour): €4,719 minimum 4 hours, with a free jet ski. Handles up to 12 guests on a 24m luxury yacht.
- Other boats: Pricing on request via WhatsApp – ideal for larger groups wanting a Ferretti 94 or Canados 86.
All prices include Spanish VAT (21%), so no surprises. For a stag group of 10, splitting an 8-hour Tier A charter works out at just €230 per person – cheaper than a night out in Puerto Banús.
What's Included in Your Stag Weekend Charter?
Every booking comes with a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, and safety equipment. You don't need to bring anything except your swimwear and a playlist. The Mangusta 80 even throws in a jet ski for free – perfect for stag antics on the water.

How to Split Costs Among Your Stag Group

Popular Stag Weekend Itineraries on the Water
Most stag charters start from Puerto Banús. A typical 4-hour route heads west to Cabopino or east to Cala Cortés, with stops for swimming and jet skiing. For a full day, cruise to Estepona or Sotogrande, enjoying lunch at a beach club. Your skipper can tailor the route to your group's vibe – party, relax, or both.
Tips for Booking Your Stag Yacht Charter
Book at least 2-3 weeks ahead, especially for July and August weekends. Confirm your group size (max 12 on most boats) and any dietary needs. Bring sunscreen, towels, and a Bluetooth speaker.
