Thinking about a boat rental no license Marbella cost for 2026? You’re in the right place. Marbella’s coastline – from Puerto Banús to Estepona – is best explored by boat, and you don’t need a single piece of paper to charter one. Every boat in our fleet comes with a licensed skipper, so you can focus on the sun, sea, and views of La Concha. Below is a full, transparent breakdown of what you’ll pay, what’s included, and which boats are available.
Why You Don’t Need a License
Spanish maritime law requires a license for boats over 15m or for private use without a skipper. But on our charters, a professional skipper is always included in the price. This means you can charter any boat – from a 6.4m speedboat to a 29m superyacht – without holding any qualification. The skipper handles navigation, mooring, and safety, leaving you to enjoy the Mediterranean.
Transparent Pricing: Tier A Boats
Our most popular no-license option is the Tier A category, which includes the Astondoa 40 and Azimut 39. Both are 12.5m, seat up to 11 passengers, and depart from Puerto Banús. Prices are fixed and all-inclusive:
- 2 hours: €749
- 4 hours: from €1,299
- 8 hours (full day): €2,299
These prices include the skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and 21% IVA. No surprises.
Tier B: Mangusta 80 (with Free Jet Ski)
If you want more space and a touch of luxury, the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) is available from €4,719 for a minimum 4 hours. This price includes a free jet ski – perfect for exploring coves like Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés. A skipper is included, so no license needed. The same applies to the white and grey variants.
Other Boats: Pricing on Request
For larger yachts like the Ferretti 94 (29m), Canados 86 (26m), or Maiora 26m, pricing is custom. Contact us via WhatsApp for a quote. All include a skipper, so you never need a license. Typical itineraries include stops at Cabopino, Estepona, or Sotogrande.
