Planning a Marbella yacht charter group size cost breakdown is the smartest way to match your budget with the right boat. Whether you’re a couple wanting a sunset cruise or a group of 12 ready for a full-day party, we’ve got exact prices – no fluff. Our fleet departs from Puerto Banús, Marbella’s superyacht capital, and every charter includes a licensed skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and 21% IVA. Below, we break down costs by group size so you can compare per-person rates instantly.
Small groups (up to 5 pax): Budget-friendly options
For intimate groups of up to 5, our smallest boats offer the best value. The Dubhe (8m, 5 pax) and Mariah SX21 (6.4m, 5 pax) are perfect for a quick spin along the coast. Pricing is on request via WhatsApp – simply tell us your preferred duration and we’ll quote you instantly. These boats are ideal for a 2-hour blast to Cabopino or a sunset trip past the Golden Mile. All inclusions (skipper, fuel, drinks) apply, so you won’t face surprises.
Medium groups (6–10 pax): The sweet spot for value
Groups of 6–10 have several excellent options. The Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) and Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax) are our most popular medium-size charters. Prices start at €749 for 2 hours and go up to €2,299 for 8 hours. At the full-day rate, that’s just ~€255 per person for 9 guests – a steal for a private yacht with crew, drinks, and snacks. Also in this category: the Fairline Targa 12m (10 pax), Pershing 46 (10 pax), and Lagoon 380 catamaran (10 pax) – all pricing on request.
Large groups (11–12 pax): Maximum capacity, maximum fun
For the full 12-passenger experience, our large fleet shines. The Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) – available in grey and white variants – is a standout at €4,719 minimum 4 hours, with a free jet ski included. That works out to ~€393 per person for a half-day charter. Other 12-pax options include the Azimut 58 Flybridge (17.6m), Canados 86 (26m), Ferretti 94 (29m), K80 (24m), and Maiora 26m – all with bespoke pricing via WhatsApp. For a full-day blowout, these yachts offer space to lounge, swim, and dine in style off the coast of Estepona or Sotogrande.
