Planning a Marbella yacht charter in 2033 and worried about dietary restrictions? Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or have specific allergies, you don't have to compromise on taste or safety. Our fleet of luxury boats departing from Puerto Banús can be fully catered to your needs, from plant-based feasts to allergen-free menus. Here's everything you need to know about vegan catering and dietary options onboard.
Vegan Catering on Marbella Yacht Charters
Veganism is no longer an afterthought on luxury charters. We partner with local caterers who specialise in plant-based cuisine, using fresh produce from Marbella's markets. Expect dishes like Mediterranean quinoa salads, grilled vegetable wraps, chickpea stews, and tropical fruit platters. Our standard included drinks (water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava) are all vegan-friendly, so you can sip without worry.
Gluten-Free and Coeliac-Safe Options
If you need gluten-free meals, we ensure your menu is prepared in a separate area to avoid cross-contamination. Options include gluten-free bread, pasta, and desserts. Just let us know at least 48 hours before departure, and we'll coordinate with our caterers to provide a safe and delicious spread.
Allergy-Friendly Menus: Nuts, Dairy, and More
From nut allergies to lactose intolerance, we can tailor every meal. Our team will ask about specific allergens at booking and provide clear ingredient labels. For severe allergies, we recommend bringing your own EpiPen or medication, though our crew is trained in basic first aid.
Halal and Kosher Catering
We can arrange halal and kosher meals with certified ingredients. This requires a minimum of 72 hours' notice to source proper supplies. Our caterers can prepare everything from grilled meats to seafood and vegetarian options that meet your dietary laws.
How to Book with Dietary Restrictions
When you book a boat from our fleet, simply add your dietary requirements in the booking notes or WhatsApp us directly. We'll confirm the menu options and any additional costs (usually €15–€30 per person for bespoke catering). For Tier A boats like the Astondoa 40 (€749/2h) or Azimut 39, upgrade packages are available. Tier B boats like the Mangusta 80 (from €4,719/4h, includes free jet ski) can also accommodate custom menus.

Is the standard included food suitable for vegans?
The standard included snacks and drinks (water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava) are vegan-friendly. However, the light snacks typically include non-vegan items. We recommend upgrading to a bespoke vegan menu for a full experience.

We recommend at least 48 hours' notice for most dietary restrictions, and 72 hours for halal or kosher. Last-minute requests may still be possible, but options will be more limited.
Can I bring my own vegan food onboard?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own food. Our boats have onboard fridges and storage. However, all standard charters already include snacks and drinks, so you may not need to.
Which boats are best for a vegan catering charter?
Any boat can accommodate vegan catering. For larger groups, the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) or Ferretti 94 (29m, 12 pax) offer plenty of space. For smaller parties, the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) is a great option.
