Understanding the Puerto Banus yacht charter cost per person is the first step to planning a stress-free day on the water. Unlike many holiday expenses, boat hire in Marbella is charged per vessel, not per head – so the more friends you bring, the less each person pays. In this complete breakdown, we'll show you real prices from our fleet, what's included, and how to split costs fairly.
How Puerto Banus Yacht Charter Pricing Works
Every charter from Boat Rental Marbella is a flat rate for the boat, not per person. You pay one price for the vessel, skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and tax. That total cost is then divided among your group. For example, an Astondoa 40 for 2 hours costs €749 – split among 9 guests, that's just €83 per person.
Real Per-Person Costs for Our Most Popular Boats
Here's how the numbers stack up for our most-booked vessels. All prices include skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, insurance, and 21% IVA.
- Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax): €749/2h → €83/person (9 sharing); €2,299/8h → €255/person
- Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax): €749/2h → €68/person (11 sharing); €2,299/8h → €209/person

What's Included in the Per-Person Cost?
Every charter includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA (21%). There are no hidden fees – the price you see is the total price. You don't need to bring anything except sunscreen and a towel.
How to Calculate Your Own Per-Person Cost
Choose your boat and duration from our fleet page, then divide the total by your group size. For example:
- Azimut 39 for 4 hours: €1,199 ÷ 11 guests = €109 per person
- Astondoa 40 for 6 hours: €1,899 ÷ 9 guests = €211 per person
- Mangusta 80 for 4 hours: €4,719 ÷ 12 guests = €393 per person (with jet ski included)
Longer charters offer better value per hour. The Astondoa 40 at €2,299 for 8 hours works out at €287/hour – cheaper per hour than the 2-hour rate of €374/hour.
Why Per-Person Charter Costs Are Lower Than You Think
Compared to a night out on the Golden Mile or a dinner at a Puerto Banús beach club, a yacht charter split among friends is often more affordable. For €68 per person, you get 2 hours of private cruising with drinks and snacks included – no cover charges, no minimum spend. Plus, you control the itinerary: anchor at Cala del Faro, swim off Cabopino, or cruise past La Concha.
Larger Groups: Superyacht Pricing on Request
For groups of 12 or more, our superyachts like the Ferretti 94 (29m, 12 pax), Canados 86 (26m, 12 pax), and Maiora 26m (26m, 12 pax) offer luxury at a competitive per-person rate when you fill the boat.

Tips for Keeping Your Per-Person Cost Low
- Fill the boat to capacity – the more guests, the lower each person pays
- Choose longer durations – 8-hour charters have the best hourly rates
- Book on weekdays – availability is better, though prices are fixed
- Skip the extras – our standard package already includes drinks and snacks
