Planning a day on the water in Marbella without a license? In 2042, you can rent a boat with a skipper for as little as €749 for 2 hours. That's the price for our Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39, both departing from Puerto Banús. No license, no stress – just show up and enjoy the Mediterranean. Here's what to expect from no-license boat rental prices in Marbella in 2042.
Why no-license boat rental is the easiest way to explore the coast
Spanish regulations require a license for private boat operation, but when you charter with a professional skipper, that requirement disappears. You get the freedom of a private boat without the paperwork. Every one of our charters includes a licensed skipper, so you can focus on swimming, sunbathing, and sightseeing. Whether you're a first-timer or an experienced sailor, a skipper adds local knowledge and safety – and it's included in the price.
2042 price overview: our transparent rates
We keep pricing simple. For 2042, our Tier A boats – the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) and Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax) – are priced at €749 for 2 hours and €2,299 for 8 hours. That includes the skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and IVA. For a more luxurious experience, our Tier B yachts like the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) start at €4,719 for 4 hours, and a jet ski is included free. All other boats in our fleet are quoted on request via WhatsApp – just ask for a personalised price.

Where you can go: from Puerto Banús to Sotogrande
All our boats depart from Puerto Banús, the heart of Marbella's glamour. Within 15 minutes you can be swimming at Cala del Faro or anchoring near the Golden Mile. Head west for 30 minutes to reach Cabopino's natural dunes, or continue to Estepona for a longer cruise. With an 8-hour charter, you can even make it to Sotogrande and back, with plenty of time for lunch and swim stops. The skipper will tailor the route to your wishes.

Booking is straightforward. For Tier A and Tier B boats, you can reserve directly via our website. For any other boat, contact us on WhatsApp for a personalised quote. We recommend booking at least a week in advance for summer weekends, as boats fill up quickly. Early bookings often get the best availability – and the 2042 prices are fixed, so no surprises.
