Planning a yacht charter in Marbella for 2039 and following a vegan diet? You're in luck. Every boat in our Puerto Banús fleet can be catered to your plant-based preferences, from light snacks to full multi-course meals. This guide covers exactly what's included, how to book vegan catering, and which boats suit your group size—so you can relax and enjoy the Costa del Sol without compromising your values.
What's included in every Marbella yacht charter
All our charters come with a licensed skipper, fuel, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). The standard drinks package includes water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava, plus light snacks. For vegans, the default snacks (often sandwiches or pastries) can be swapped for plant-based alternatives at no extra cost. Just mention your preference when booking.
Vegan catering options: from snacks to full meals
For shorter charters (2–3 hours), we provide vegan-friendly finger food: hummus with crudités, olives, marinated artichokes, and fresh fruit. For half-day or full-day trips (4+ hours), we can arrange a full vegan lunch—think quinoa salads, grilled vegetables, plant-based paella, and dairy-free desserts. All catering is sourced locally in Marbella, so you'll taste the Mediterranean in every bite.
How to book vegan catering on your charter
When you enquire via WhatsApp or our booking form, simply note 'vegan' under dietary requirements. We'll confirm the menu options and any supplements. For standard swaps, there's no extra cost. For more elaborate menus, we'll give you a fixed price before you commit. We recommend booking at least 48 hours ahead for the best choice.
Best boats for vegan groups in Puerto Banús
All 17 boats in our fleet can accommodate vegan catering. For a small group of 5, the Dubhe (8m) or Mariah SX21 (6.4m) are ideal. For up to 10 guests, the Fairline Targa 12m or Lagoon 380 offer comfort and space. Larger parties of 12 will enjoy the Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m) or the iconic Mangusta 80 (24m). All depart from Puerto Banús.
Pricing and packages for 2039
Our Tier A boats—the Astondoa 40 and Azimut 39—are priced at €749 for 2 hours or €2,299 for 8 hours, with skipper, drinks, and VAT included. For a premium experience, the Mangusta 80 (white or grey) starts at €4,719 for a minimum 4 hours, and includes a free jet ski. All other boats are priced on request via WhatsApp—just ask for a quote.
Dietary restrictions beyond vegan
We handle gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and halal diets with equal care. If you have allergies, please list them at booking. Our crew will ensure your meals are prepared separately to avoid cross-contamination. For severe allergies, we recommend a full-catering charter where we control the entire menu.
Local flavours: vegan dining along the Marbella coast
While on board, you'll cruise past landmarks like La Concha mountain, the Golden Mile, and Cala del Faro. If you're stopping for a swim at Cala Cortés or anchoring near Cabopino, we can pack a vegan picnic to enjoy ashore. For longer charters to Estepona or Sotogrande, our catering partners can prepare regional vegan dishes using local produce.
Frequently asked questions
Is vegan catering available on all Marbella yacht charters?
Yes, vegan catering is available on all boats in our fleet. Whether you book a Tier A boat like the Astondoa 40 or a larger yacht like the Mangusta 80, we can arrange plant-based snacks and meals. Just let us know at the time of booking, and we'll tailor the menu to your dietary needs.
What vegan options are included in the standard charter package?
The standard package includes water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light snacks. The default snacks are typically non-vegan (e.g., sandwiches with cheese or ham). However, we can swap these for vegan alternatives—like hummus with vegetables, olives, and plant-based wraps—at no extra cost.
Can I request a full vegan meal for a half-day or full-day charter?
Absolutely. For charters of 4 hours or more, we can arrange a full vegan catering package, including a main course, salads, and desserts. This is especially popular on the Mangusta 80 (from €4,719 for 4h) or the Ferretti 94. Just specify your preferences when booking.
Are there extra charges for vegan catering?
Basic vegan swaps (replacing standard snacks) are included at no extra cost. For more elaborate catering—such as a multi-course vegan meal or specialised gluten-free and vegan combinations—there may be a small supplement. We'll confirm the exact price before you book, so there are no surprises.
Which boats are best for a vegan-friendly yacht charter in Marbella?
All boats can accommodate vegan catering. For small groups (up to 5 guests), the Dubhe or Mariah SX21 are great. For larger parties, the Azimut 58 Flybridge (12 pax) or the Mangusta 80 (12 pax) offer plenty of space. The Lagoon 380 (10 pax) is also a favourite for relaxed day trips.
Can you accommodate other dietary restrictions (gluten-free, nut allergies, etc.)?
Yes, we handle a wide range of dietary restrictions, including gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and halal. Please inform us of all allergies and restrictions when booking. Our crew and catering partners take care to avoid cross-contamination, especially on full-catering charters.
How far in advance should I request vegan catering?
We recommend requesting vegan catering at least 48 hours before your charter. For complex menus (e.g., full vegan lunch with multiple courses), 72 hours is ideal. Last-minute requests may be possible, but the choice of dishes will be more limited.
What is the cancellation policy for charters with vegan catering?
Cancellation policies are the same as for standard charters: free cancellation up to 72 hours before departure. If catering has been specially ordered, a partial fee may apply if you cancel within 48 hours. We'll always confirm the exact terms when you book.
