Why passenger limits matter
Capacity isn’t just about comfort—it’s about safety. Each boat is certified for a maximum number of people based on its size, stability, and life raft capacity. Exceeding the limit invalidates insurance and risks fines or accidents. Our skippers enforce these limits strictly. For a group of 12, choose a 12-passenger yacht like the Mangusta 80 or Azimut 58. For smaller groups, the Dubhe or Mariah SX21 are perfect for 5.
Pricing for different group sizes
Our Tier A boats (Astondoa 40, Azimut 39) cost €749 for 2 hours up to €2,299 for 8 hours, including skipper, drinks, and VAT. Tier B boats (Mangusta 80) start at €4,719 for 4 hours and include a free jet ski. For other boats, pricing is available on request via WhatsApp. All prices include the full package—no hidden extras.
Children and infants: counted as passengers
Yes, children of any age count toward the passenger limit. A family of 4 adults plus 1 infant = 5 passengers. Always tell us the exact number of guests, including babies, when booking. This ensures the correct boat and safety equipment.

Where all charters depart from
Every boat in our fleet departs from Puerto Banús, Marbella’s iconic marina. You’ll meet the skipper at the dock, board your vessel, and set off along the coast toward Cabopino, Cala del Faro, or Estepona. The Golden Mile and La Concha provide a stunning backdrop.
