If you are looking for a catamaran rental Marbella family charter that combines space, stability, and all-inclusive ease, the Lagoon 380 is your best option. Unlike monohull motor yachts, catamarans offer a wide, stable platform that does not roll in a swell, making them ideal for young children, elderly parents, or anyone prone to seasickness. Our Lagoon 380 departs from Puerto Banús and can carry up to 10 passengers plus a licensed skipper. Prices start at €749 for two hours and go up to €2,299 for a full eight-hour day – and that includes drinks, snacks, fuel, insurance, and tax. No hidden extras, no surprises.
Why a catamaran works for families
A catamaran’s twin-hull design gives it a much wider beam than a monohull of the same length. The Lagoon 380 measures 11.6 metres overall but offers a living space that feels more like a 15-metre yacht. The saloon opens directly onto the aft deck, creating a single indoor-outdoor area where parents can keep an eye on children while preparing snacks. Because the hulls are separate, there is no deep V-shaped cabin to trip over – the saloon floor is flat, and the side decks have high guardrails. Children can move around without the constant tilt of a heeling monohull.
Our family-friendly catamaran: Lagoon 380
The Lagoon 380 is the only catamaran in our fleet. It is 11.6 metres long, 6.5 metres wide, and can take up to 10 passengers. It departs from Puerto Banús, Marbella’s most famous marina. The boat has four double cabins and two heads (toilets), so a large family can spread out. The forward trampoline nets are a favourite spot for children to lie on and watch the coastline. The shallow draft of just 1.2 metres means the skipper can anchor very close to the beach at spots like Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés, where the water is shallow and calm enough for safe swimming.
What’s included in the price
Every charter on our Lagoon 380 includes a licensed skipper, all fuel, insurance, Spanish IVA (21%), and a complimentary bar with soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava. Light snacks are also provided. You do not need to bring anything except sunscreen and towels. The skipper handles navigation, anchoring, and safety briefings, so you can relax. If you want to bring your own food or a birthday cake, the galley has a fridge and a stove. There is no extra charge for mooring at a restaurant dock, though any restaurant bill is yours.
Where you can go on a family catamaran trip
Departing from Puerto Banús, you have several family-friendly routes. A popular half-day option heads east towards Cabopino, a protected dune reserve with a sandy beach and calm water. The distance is about 5 nautical miles, so the sailing time is short. For a full day, you can go west to Estepona or even Sotogrande, where the coastline opens up with wider bays. The skipper will anchor for swimming and snorkelling at spots like Cala Cortés, a small cove with clear water and rocky seabed. The shallow draft of the catamaran allows it to get closer to the shore than most motor yachts.

Safety and comfort for all ages
The Lagoon 380 has high bulwarks and guardrails all around, reducing the risk of falls. The saloon door can be latched open or closed, and the galley is equipped with a gas cooker and a fridge. Lifejackets for children and adults are on board, and the skipper will give a short safety briefing before departure. The boat’s stability means that even on a breezy day, you will not feel the constant rolling that can upset younger children. Many families choose a four-hour morning charter (10:00–14:00) when the sea is calmest and the sun is not too strong.
