Puerto Banus Yacht Rental Cost Breakdown: Prices, Fees & Hidden Charges

Understanding the Puerto Banus yacht rental cost breakdown is the first step to a stress-free day on the water. Unlike many operators that add fees for fuel, cleaning, or crew, our charters are transparent from the start. Every boat in our fleet departs from Puerto Banús and includes a licensed skipper, drinks, snacks, insurance, and the 21% Spanish IVA — no hidden charges. Whether you are looking at a two-hour sunset cruise or a full-day adventure, this guide breaks down exactly what you pay, what you get, and how to avoid surprises.

Our All-Inclusive Pricing Model

We believe in straightforward pricing. All our boats are quoted with everything included except optional extras you choose. Here is how the tiers work:

• Tier A: Astondoa 40 and Azimut 39 — €749 for 2 hours, €1,149 for 3 hours, €1,499 for 4 hours, €2,299 for 8 hours. All-inclusive.
• Tier B: Mangusta 80 (including white and grey variants) — €4,719 minimum 4 hours, with a jet ski included free of charge.
• All other boats (e.g., Ferretti 94, Canados 86, Pershing 46) — pricing on request via WhatsApp. No obligation, just a clear quote.

Every price includes the skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and IVA. What you see is what you pay.

What Is Not Included (Optional Extras)

While the base price is comprehensive, you can enhance your experience with optional extras. These are quoted separately and never added without your consent:

• Premium catering (gourmet platters, champagne, custom menus)
• Water toys (additional jet skis, paddleboards, snorkelling gear)
• Extended hours beyond the standard charter duration
• Special event decorations (birthday, anniversary, corporate)

We always confirm these costs in writing before your trip, so there are no surprises.

Comparing Costs: Our Fleet vs. Market Rates

In Puerto Banús, many charter companies list low base prices then add 21% IVA, fuel surcharges, and cleaning fees — often adding 30–50% to the total. Our pricing is different. For example, a 4-hour charter on the Mangusta 80 at €4,719 includes everything: a 24-metre luxury yacht, a jet ski, a professional skipper, drinks, snacks, and tax. Comparable yachts from other operators can exceed €6,000 after extras.

For smaller groups, the Astondoa 40 at €749 for 2 hours is one of the most competitive all-inclusive rates in the marina. No hidden fuel or cleaning fees.

Peak Season vs. Off-Peak Pricing

Our base rates remain the same year-round, but availability changes. June through September is peak season in Marbella, and popular boats like the Azimut 58 Flybridge or Ferretti 94 book weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks ahead during summer. Off-peak months (October–May) offer more flexibility and often the same price for a quieter experience on the water.

How to Avoid Hidden Charges

To ensure you pay exactly what you expect, follow these tips:

• Always confirm the total price includes IVA and all crew fees.
• Ask if fuel is included — with us, it always is.
• Check for cleaning or docking fees — we charge none.
• Request a written breakdown of any optional extras before the trip.
• Book directly with us via WhatsApp for a transparent quote.

Our Boat Rental Marbella team provides a single, all-inclusive price upfront.

Departure Points and Logistics

All our boats depart from Puerto Banús, the iconic marina in Marbella. There are no additional port taxes or embarkation fees. You arrive at the agreed time, meet your skipper, and step aboard. For larger groups, we can arrange transfers from the Golden Mile or Marbella city centre at an extra cost.
