Planning a hen party in Marbella for 2033? A yacht charter is the ultimate way to celebrate – but the budget can feel overwhelming if you don't know what to expect. This breakdown covers every cost: from the base charter fee to what's included (and what's not), so you can plan a stress-free party on the water. All our boats depart from Puerto Banús, Marbella's iconic luxury marina, and come with a licensed skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and 21% VAT included.
Hen Party Yacht Budget: The Numbers
We have two clear pricing tiers for hen parties. The most popular choice is our Tier A boats: the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) and Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax). Prices start from €749 for 2 hours and go up to €2,299 for 8 hours. For a group of 9, that's just €83 per person for a 2-hour cruise with drinks and snacks. If you want more space and a free jet ski, the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) is our Tier B option at €4,719 minimum for 4 hours – perfect for a larger, more luxurious hen do.
What's Included in the Price?
Every hen party charter includes: a licensed skipper (no need to drive), fuel for the full charter, bottled water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, full insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). You don't pay extra for any of these. The skipper handles navigation and anchoring at swimming spots like Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés. Just bring your own playlist – all boats have Bluetooth speakers.
How to Budget for Extras
While the base price is all-inclusive, you might want extras. Bringing your own champagne or spirits is allowed on most boats (corkage permitted – check with your charter manager). Some groups hire a private photographer (approx. €200–400 for 2 hours) or a DJ (€300–500). If you want a private chef for a gourmet lunch, that's available on request for larger yachts like the Ferretti 94 or Canados 86. For a standard hen party, the included drinks and snacks are plenty – but you can always upgrade to a premium catering package.
Best Boats for a Hen Party
For a classic hen party of 8–11 people, the Azimut 39 (11 pax) is a great balance of price and space. For a group of 12, the Mangusta 80 (24m) offers a huge sundeck, flybridge, and a free jet ski – ideal for adrenaline shots in between cocktails. If you want something smaller and more intimate, the Dubhe (8m, 5 pax) or Mariah SX21 (6.4m, 5 pax) are budget-friendly options for a smaller group. All boats depart from Puerto Banús, so you're steps away from the Golden Mile's bars and restaurants.
Sample Hen Party Itinerary (4 Hours)
A typical 4-hour charter (€1,399 on Tier A) might look like this: meet at Puerto Banús at 16:00, board your yacht with a welcome glass of cava. Cruise south along the coast towards Estepona, passing the exclusive villas of the Golden Mile. At 17:00, anchor at Cala del Faro for a swim stop – the water is usually 22–26°C from June to September. Enjoy beers, wine, and snacks on deck. At 18:30, cruise back towards Puerto Banús, catching the sunset over La Concha mountain. Disembark at 20:00, ready for dinner at one of the marina's restaurants.
When to Book for 2033
Peak season (July–August) books up fast – we recommend booking at least 3–4 months in advance for the best availability and rates. May, June, and September offer slightly lower demand and still fantastic weather (25–30°C). For the lowest prices, consider late May or early October. All our prices are fixed for 2033 charters booked now, so you can lock in today's rates.
