This page covers everything you need to know: boat options, pricing, inclusions, the best snorkelling spots, and how to book. Let's dive in.
Why choose a family boat day with jetski, snorkel, and paddleboard?
A private boat charter gives your family total freedom. No crowded tour boats, no fixed itineraries. You decide where to go, how long to stay, and what to do. The jetski adds adrenaline for teens and adults; snorkel gear lets kids explore underwater life; the paddleboard offers a calm way to cruise the coastline. All equipment is provided at no extra cost (jetski included free on Tier B boats).
Marbella's coastline is ideal for families. Calm coves like Cala del Faro and Cala Cortés have shallow, clear water perfect for snorkelling and paddleboarding. The average sea temperature from June to October is 22–26°C, so no wetsuit needed.
Our family-friendly fleet
We operate from Puerto Banús with a range of boats suitable for families. For small to medium groups, the Astondoa 40 (12.5m, 9 pax) and Azimut 39 (12.5m, 11 pax) offer a spacious cockpit, sun pads, and a shaded flybridge. Both are easy to board from the water, making them great for kids.
For larger families or multi-family groups, the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) or its grey variant (24m, 12 pax) provide a huge sundeck, a jet ski included free, and a professional crew. All boats have a cooler, Bluetooth speakers, and a freshwater shower.
