Planning a stag do in Marbella and wondering about the marbella boat rental stag weekend cost for 2029? You're in the right place. With prices starting at €749 for two hours on an Astondoa 40 – all inclusive – a private boat charter is often cheaper than a VIP club table and way more memorable. This breakdown covers exact pricing, hidden costs, and budget tips so you can plan without surprises.
Real Pricing: What You Actually Pay
We operate two pricing tiers for stag groups. Tier A covers the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) and Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax) at €749 for 2 hours up to €2,299 for 8 hours. Tier B is the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) from €4,719 for a minimum 4 hours, which includes a free jet ski. All other boats (e.g. Ferretti 94, Canados 86) are priced on request via WhatsApp – we don't list them here because rates vary by season. Every price includes the licensed skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance and 21% Spanish VAT. No hidden marina fees or cleaning charges.

Per-Person Cost: The Stag Math
For a group of 10 on the Azimut 39, the 8-hour charter costs €2,299, which is €230 per person. Compare that to a night out in Puerto Banús where a bottle in a club can cost €200–€400. You get a full day on the water with unlimited drinks, a skipper to handle navigation, and stops at coves like Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés. For the Mangusta 80, split 12 ways: €4,719 ÷ 12 = €393 per person for 4 hours including a jet ski session. That's competitive with a high-end dinner and drinks.
Budget Tips for 2029
- Book shoulder season: May, September and October offer lower prices and fewer crowds. You'll still get 25°C+ sea temperatures and sunny skies.
- Choose a 4-hour slot: For most stag groups, 4 hours is enough time to cruise to Cabopino, swim, and enjoy lunch. It's cheaper than a full day and avoids fatigue.
- Bring your own food: While we provide snacks and drinks, you can bring a catered platter (order through us from €15/person) or your own picnic. No corkage fee.
- Share the cost upfront: Use a payment app to collect from each guest before the charter. This avoids awkward chasing on the day.
- Avoid add-ons: Jet skis are included with the Mangusta 80, but for other boats, you can add a jet ski for around €150/hour. Decide if the group really wants it.
What's Included (No Surprises)
Every charter from Boat Rental Marbella includes: a licensed English-speaking skipper, fuel for the day, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, full insurance, safety equipment, and 21% Spanish VAT. The skipper will also act as host – pointing out landmarks like La Concha mountain, the Golden Mile villas, and the best spots for swimming. You don't tip the skipper, but if service is excellent, 10–15% of the charter fee is appreciated.
Which Boat Fits Your Stag Group?
For groups of 9–11, the Azimut 39 or Astondoa 40 are ideal – both depart from Puerto Banús and offer a spacious cockpit, sun pads, and a cabin for changing. For 12 people, the Mangusta 80 (or its grey sister) gives you 24m of deck space, a flybridge, and a free jet ski. If you want something different, the Fairline Targa 12m (10 pax) or Pershing 46 (10 pax) are sporty options – just message us for pricing.
Typical Stag Itinerary: 4-Hour Sample
Most groups depart around 11:00 from Puerto Banús. Head west past the luxury homes of the Golden Mile, then drop anchor at Cala del Faro for swimming and lunch. After a couple of hours, cruise to Cabopino beach for a quick stop, then back to port by 15:00. That leaves the evening free for dinner at a chiringuito or a club in Banús. If you book 8 hours, you can go as far as Estepona or even Sotogrande for a longer swim stop.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest marbella boat rental stag weekend cost in 2029?
The cheapest option is the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39 at €749 for 2 hours, including skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks and VAT. For a full day (8 hours), the same boats cost €2,299. That works out to roughly €192 per person for a group of 12 – cheaper than a club table.
Are drinks and food included in the price?
Yes, every charter includes water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava and light snacks. You can bring your own food or order a catered platter (€15–€25 per person) – just let us know 48 hours ahead. No extra bar tab.
Can we split the cost per person for a stag group?
Absolutely. For a group of 10 on the Azimut 39 (€2,299/8h), each person pays €230. The skipper and fuel are included, so there are no surprise costs. Just divide the total by your headcount – we recommend using a payment app like Splitwise.
What's the best boat for a stag weekend on a budget?
The Azimut 39 (11 pax) or Astondoa 40 (9 pax) offer the best value per person. Both depart from Puerto Banús and include all listed amenities. For a bigger group, the Mangusta 80 (€4,719/4h with free jet ski) is a step up but still competitive when split 12 ways.
Are there any hidden fees I should know about?
No hidden fees. The price you see includes the licensed skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance and 21% Spanish VAT. The only extras are optional: crew tips (10–15% is customary), a catered lunch, or a private transfer to Puerto Banús. We're transparent – no marina fees or cleaning charges.
How far in advance should I book a stag boat in Marbella?
For peak summer (June–August), book at least 4–6 weeks ahead. For May, September or October, 2–3 weeks is usually fine. Last-minute bookings (within 7 days) are possible but limited to available slots. We recommend locking in your date with a 30% deposit.
Can we bring our own music and decorations?
Yes, all our boats have Bluetooth speakers, so you can play your own playlist. Decorations (balloons, banners) are welcome as long as they don't damage the upholstery. No confetti or glitter – it's a nightmare to clean and may incur a €100 cleaning fee.
What happens if the weather is bad on our stag day?
If the captain deems conditions unsafe, we reschedule at no cost. If you prefer to cancel, you get a full refund. Marbella enjoys 320 sunny days a year, so bad weather is rare. We monitor forecasts 48 hours out and keep you informed.
