One of the most common questions we get from guests is: Are towels and linens included on a Marbella yacht charter? The short answer is yes—towels are provided on every Boat Rental Marbella charter, but bed linens are not. This guide explains exactly what you can expect, so you can pack smart and enjoy your day on the Mediterranean without any surprises.
What’s Included in Every Charter
Every Boat Rental Marbella charter comes with a comprehensive all-inclusive package. For all boats, from the Astondoa 40 (€749/2h) to the Mangusta 80 (€4,719 minimum 4h), you get:
- Licensed skipper
- Fuel
- Water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava
- Light snacks (e.g., crisps, olives, nuts)
- Insurance and safety equipment
- Spanish IVA (21% VAT)
- Towels (standard bath-size)
Towels are included at no extra cost. You don’t need to bring your own unless you prefer a different type or size.
Are Bed Linens Provided?
No, bed linens are not provided on any of our boats. Our charters are day trips only—typically 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours—so overnight stays are not offered. If you are planning a longer excursion that involves sleeping aboard, you would need to arrange linens separately. However, we recommend booking a hotel on the Golden Mile or in Puerto Banús for overnight accommodation.
What Type of Towels Are Included?
The towels we provide are standard bath-size (approximately 70 cm x 140 cm). They are clean, fresh, and professionally laundered between every charter. They’re perfect for drying off after a swim in the Mediterranean or for a quick freshen-up. If you want a larger towel for sunbathing on the deck or a beach towel for the sand, we suggest bringing your own.
Should I Bring My Own Towel?
While we supply towels, many guests prefer to bring their own for specific reasons:
- Beach towels: If you plan to stop at a beach like Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés, a larger towel is more comfortable.
- Microfiber towels: These dry quickly and pack small, ideal for day trips.
- Personal preference: Some guests like a thicker, softer towel.
Ultimately, it’s your choice. We have you covered either way.
Packing Checklist for Your Marbella Yacht Charter
To make your day stress-free, here’s what we recommend packing:
- Swimwear and a cover-up
- Sunscreen (SPF 50+) and lip balm with SPF
- Sunglasses and a hat
- Light jacket or windbreaker (the sea breeze can be cool)
- Camera or waterproof phone case
- Personal medication (e.g., seasickness tablets)
- Your own towel if you prefer (optional)
Remember, we provide towels, drinks, and snacks, so you don’t need to bring those.
Why Towels Are Included on Our Charters
We include towels because we want your experience to be as seamless as possible. When you step aboard at Puerto Banús, you should be able to relax immediately without worrying about forgotten items. It’s part of our commitment to hassle-free luxury. Other details like the licensed skipper and fuel are also included, so you can focus on enjoying the Marbella coastline, from Estepona to Sotogrande.
What About Other Amenities?
Beyond towels, our boats come equipped with everything you need for a comfortable day: a shaded flybridge, sun pads, a galley, and a sound system. On the Mangusta 80, you even get a free jet ski.
