Planning a marbella yacht charter hen party catering experience means balancing celebration with convenience. Whether you dream of a sunset cruise with cava and canapés or a full-day feast with paella and sangria, our fleet—departing from Puerto Banús—offers flexible menus to suit every bride tribe. All charters include drinks and snacks, but you can upgrade to custom platters for dietary needs like vegan, gluten-free, or halal. With boats like the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) starting at €4,719 for 4 hours (including a free jet ski), your hen party can focus on fun while we handle the food.
What’s Included in Every Marbella Yacht Charter Hen Party
Every booking—from the Boat Rental Marbella fleet—includes a licensed skipper, fuel, insurance, Spanish IVA (21%), and a welcome package of water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light snacks. For hen parties, this base package means you can arrive empty-handed and still toast the bride. The snacks typically include crisps, nuts, olives, and finger sandwiches—enough for a 2-hour cruise. For longer charters, we recommend upgrading to a full catering platter.
