Our Fleet and Starting Prices
We operate from Puerto Banús, Marbella's most famous marina. Every boat includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, and 21% IVA. Here are the two price tiers for hen and stag groups:
- Tier A – €749/2h up to €2,299/8h: Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) or Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax). Ideal for smaller groups wanting a short, lively cruise.
- Tier B – €4,719 minimum 4h: Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) — includes a free jet ski. Perfect for a larger party with water toys.
For other boats (Azimut 58 Flybridge, Ferretti 94, Maiora 26m, etc.), pricing is on request via WhatsApp. We tailor the duration and vessel to your group size.

How to Save on Your Hen or Stag Weekend
Booking a weekday (Monday–Thursday) often gives more availability, though our prices are fixed regardless of the day. To keep costs low:
- Choose a Tier A boat for a short 2-hour cruise — €83 per person for 9 guests.
- Bring your own decorations and cake instead of buying on board.
- Combine the yacht trip with a meal at a chiringuito on the Golden Mile — we can anchor near one.
For larger groups, the Mangusta 80 at €4,719 for 4 hours includes a jet ski, which replaces the need for separate water-sport bookings.
Popular Itineraries for Hen and Stag Groups
Our skippers know the best spots. Typical routes from Puerto Banús include:
- West to Estepona: 30 minutes cruising, anchor near the old town, swim in calm waters.
- East to Cabopino: 20 minutes, stop at the dunes, then back past the Marbella Marina skyline.
- Anchoring at Cala del Faro: A quiet cove with clear water, ideal for photos and jumping off the boat.
You can also request a stop at Sotogrande or simply cruise along the coast with music. The skipper adapts to your vibe.
What to Bring on the Day
Pack light but smart. Essentials for a hen or stag weekend yacht trip:
- Swimwear and towels (we provide beach towels on request)
- Sunscreen (SPF 50+ recommended, even in May)
- Portable speaker (the boat has Bluetooth, but a backup helps)
- Extra drinks or a bottle of bubbly for toasts
- Decorations, banners, or a cake — no corkage fee
All boats have a shaded area, a small fridge, and a bathroom. The skipper will help with anchoring and music.
