Planning a boat day in Marbella in 2025? The marbella boat rental cost per person 2025 ranges from €83 on a shared Astondoa 40 to €393 on a Mangusta 80 with a jet ski. The key to budgeting is knowing the total price, the boat's capacity, and what's included. Here's a transparent breakdown – no hidden fees, no surprises.
Our 2025 pricing at a glance
We run two fixed-price tiers plus a range of larger yachts quoted on request. All prices include skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and 21% VAT – so the per-person cost is simply the total divided by your group size.
| Boat | Capacity | Duration | Total price | Price per person (full capacity) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Astondoa 40 | 9 pax | 2h | €749 | €83 |
| Astondoa 40 | 9 pax | 8h | €2,299 | €255 |
| Azimut 39 | 11 pax | 2h | €749 | €68 |
| Azimut 39 | 11 pax | 8h | €2,299 | €209 |
| Mangusta 80 (white/grey) | 12 pax | 4h (min) | €4,719 | €393 |

How to calculate your per-person cost
It's simple: divide the total charter price by the number of guests (up to the boat's capacity). For example, an 8-hour charter on the Azimut 39 costs €2,299. With 11 guests, that's €209 per person – which works out to about €26 per hour per person. On a 2-hour sunset cruise, the per-person rate is higher (€68 pp on the Azimut 39) because the fixed costs are spread over fewer hours.
If you're a smaller group, consider a smaller boat: the Speedboat (7m, 6 pax) or the Mariah SX21 (6.4m, 5 pax) – both priced on request, but likely lower than Tier A. For a budget-friendly option, the Astondoa 40 at €749 for 2h is the cheapest fixed-price charter in our fleet.
What's included in every charter?
Every booking includes the following – no extra charges at the end of the day:
- Licensed skipper (English/Spanish speaking)
- Fuel for the entire charter
- Water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava
- Light snacks (chips, olives, nuts)
- Insurance and safety equipment
- Spanish IVA (21%) – already in the price
You can bring your own food and extra drinks. If you want a catered lunch (paella, sushi, etc.), we can arrange it on request – just mention it when booking.
Why the Mangusta 80 costs more per person
The Mangusta 80 (and its Grey variant) is our flagship for groups who want speed and space. At 24m, it accommodates 12 guests with a large sundeck, a flybridge, and a swim platform. The minimum charter is 4 hours at €4,719, which includes a free jet ski – a €300+ value if rented separately. Per person at full capacity, that's €393, but you're paying for a superyacht experience, not just a boat ride.
If you're celebrating a birthday or a corporate event, the Mangusta 80 is the way to go. For a more intimate trip, the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39 offer the best value per person.
Budget tips for your Marbella boat day
- Book 8h instead of 2h – the per-hour rate drops from €374.50 to €287.38 on Tier A boats, so you get more time for less per hour.
- Fill the boat – the more guests, the lower the per-person cost. The Azimut 39 at 11 pax gives the best value: €209 pp for 8h.
- Go in shoulder season – May, June, September are ideal: warm (24-28°C), fewer crowds, and more availability.
- Choose a 2h sunset cruise – if you're on a tight budget, a 2h trip at €749 is perfect for a quick coastal view of Puerto Banús and the Golden Mile.
- Split costs transparently – use a group payment app to collect from friends; our price includes everything, so no surprise splits for fuel or tips.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average cost per person for a boat rental in Marbella in 2025?
For a half-day (4h) on an Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39, the cost is €749 total; split among 9-11 guests, that's €68-83 per person. For a full day (8h) at €2,299, per person drops to €209-255. On a Mangusta 80 (min 4h, €4,719), per person is €393 for 12 guests. Most groups pay between €70 and €400 per person depending on boat size and duration.
Are there any hidden costs on top of the quoted price?
No. Our charter price includes the licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). There are no docking fees, cleaning fees, or fuel surcharges. The price you see on our site is the final price you pay.
How many people can fit on a boat, and how does that affect per-person cost?
Capacity varies: Astondoa 40 holds 9, Azimut 39 holds 11, Mangusta 80 holds 12. For example, an 8-hour charter on the Astondoa 40 costs €2,299; split among 9 people, that's €255 each. If you fill the Azimut 39 (11 pax), the same duration costs €209 per person. Larger groups get lower per-person rates.
Is the Mangusta 80 worth the higher per-person cost?
The Mangusta 80 (€4,719 for 4h, 12 pax) delivers a premium experience: 24m of open-deck space, high-speed cruising, and a free jet ski included. Per person at 12 guests is €393 – significantly more than Tier A boats, but you get a superyacht feel, more space, and water toys. If your group prioritises luxury and adrenaline, it's worth it.
Can I reduce the cost per person by booking a longer charter?
Yes. Tier A boats (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39) are priced at €749 for 2h and €2,299 for 8h. The per-hour rate drops from €374.50/h to €287.38/h. So booking 8h instead of 2h reduces the per-person cost per hour. For example, 8h on the Azimut 39 with 11 guests = €209 pp, versus 2h at €68 pp – but you get 4x the time for only 3x the price.
What about boats not listed with fixed prices?
Boats like the Ferretti 94, Canados 86, and Maiora 26m are priced on request. Contact us via WhatsApp with your preferred date, number of guests, and duration, and we'll send a tailored quote – usually within a few hours. These larger yachts (up to 29m) are ideal for corporate events or special celebrations.
Do prices change for peak season (June-August)?
Our published rates for Tier A and Tier B are fixed for 2025, regardless of season. However, availability is limited in July and August, so we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. For on-request boats, peak-season quotes may reflect higher demand, but we always confirm the total before you commit.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Yes, you're welcome to bring your own food and extra drinks. Our included bar covers water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava, plus light snacks. If you want a catered meal, we can arrange it on request (e.g., a paella or sushi spread) – just let us know when booking.
