Easter Week (Semana Santa) in Marbella is one of the busiest periods for yacht charters. With warm spring sun, calm Mediterranean waters, and a surge of visitors, securing a boat requires early planning. This guide covers marbella easter week yacht availability, booking windows, pricing, and tips to lock in your preferred vessel from Puerto Banús.
Why Easter Week is Peak Season in Marbella
Semana Santa draws thousands to the Costa del Sol for processions, beach time, and socialising. Yacht charters become highly sought-after because the weather is pleasant (18–22°C) and sea conditions are mild. Most visitors want afternoon cruises along the coast from Marbella to Cabopino or Estepona, making afternoon slots the first to sell out.
Booking Window: When to Reserve
For Easter Week 2025, aim to book 4–6 weeks in advance. That means late February to early March. Last-minute availability is rare, especially for larger yachts like the Mangusta 80 (12 pax) or Ferretti 94 (12 pax). Smaller boats like the Dubhe (5 pax) or Mariah SX21 (5 pax) have slightly more flexibility but still fill up by mid-March.
Our Fleet & Easter Pricing
All charters depart from Puerto Banús and include a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). No hidden extras.

What to Expect Weather-Wise
