Planning a stag weekend in Marbella for 2031? A private yacht charter is the ultimate way to celebrate, combining luxury, sun, and the Costa del Sol coastline. This guide breaks down the costs, boat options, and what’s included so you can budget accurately. Whether you’re 5 or 12 lads, we’ve got a boat to fit your group and your wallet.
Why Choose a Yacht Charter for a Stag Weekend in Marbella?
Marbella’s coastline offers 27 km of beaches, hidden coves, and glamorous marinas. A private charter gives you exclusive space to party, swim, and enjoy the scenery without crowds. You control the itinerary: cruise past the Golden Mile, anchor at Cabopino, or visit Estepona. Plus, all our charters include a skipper, fuel, drinks, and snacks – no hidden costs.

Our fleet is divided into three pricing tiers. Here’s what you can expect to spend:

What’s Included in Every Charter?
All our stag charters include: licensed skipper, fuel, insurance, safety equipment, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, and Spanish VAT (21%). No surprise charges. You just show up at Puerto Banús and enjoy.
How to Budget for Extras
While the charter covers basics, you might want: premium catering (€20–40/person), extra water toys (jet ski, paddleboard – €150–300), or a photographer (€200–400). Tips for the crew are optional but appreciated (10–15% of charter fee).
Best Boats for a Stag Do
For a small group (5–8), the Marbella yacht charter options like the Bandido (8 pax) or Pershing 46 (10 pax) are sporty and fast. For 12 lads, the Mangusta 80 (24m) or Ferretti 94 (29m) offer decks for partying and a free jet ski. The Azimut 58 Flybridge has a spacious flybridge for sunbathing.
Sample Itinerary for a Stag Yacht Charter

Head to Cabopino for a beach stop. Return to Puerto Banús by 18:00 for sunset drinks. Total cost for 10 people on an Astondoa 40 (8h): €2,299, or €230 per person.
When to Book for 2031
Peak season (June–September) books up 4–8 weeks in advance. For a weekend in July 2031, start enquiries by April. Off-peak (May, October) offers better availability and slightly lower demand. Always confirm your date via WhatsApp.
