Is the jet ski really included in the price?
Yes. The Mangusta 80 charter includes a jet ski at no extra cost. You don't pay a separate rental fee. The €4,719 minimum covers the boat, skipper, fuel, drinks, snacks, snorkel gear, and the jet ski. Spanish VAT (21%) is also included.
Can children use the jet ski?
Children can ride as passengers on the jet ski with an adult driver. The minimum age to drive a jet ski in Spain is 16 with a valid licence. We recommend life jackets for all kids – they're provided on board. The skipper will brief you on safety before you start.
What snorkelling spots do you visit?
Typical stops include Cala del Faro near the Marbella lighthouse or Cala Cortés just east of Puerto Banús. Both have calm, clear water and rocky seabeds where you'll see bream, wrasse, and sometimes octopus. The skipper picks the best spot based on wind and swell on the day.
What's included in the food and drink?
The charter includes water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light snacks (chips, olives, nuts). If your family wants a proper meal, you can order a catering platter (€25–€40 per person) – just let us know 48 hours ahead. No outside alcohol is allowed.
Can we add extra hours to the combo?
Yes. The minimum is 4 hours at €4,719. You can extend to 6 or 8 hours – pricing is on request via WhatsApp. Extra hours give you time to cruise further, visit Cabopino or Estepona, and enjoy more jet ski and snorkel time. Contact us for a custom quote.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If the skipper deems conditions unsafe (high wind, big swell, or thunderstorm), we'll reschedule your charter at no cost or offer a full refund. The Costa del Sol has 300+ sunny days a year, so cancellations are rare. You'll be notified at least 24 hours before departure if possible.
