Looking for a family boat day with Seabob in Marbella? This combo gives you the best of both worlds: a private charter from Puerto Banús and the thrill of gliding underwater on a Seabob. With a licensed skipper, drinks, snacks, and insurance included, you just show up and enjoy. Choose a 2-hour taster or an 8-hour full-day adventure – both on our Tier A boats, the Astondoa 40 or Azimut 39.
Why Combine a Boat Charter with a Seabob?
A Seabob turns a standard boat trip into an unforgettable family experience. Instead of just swimming, kids and adults can zoom through the water like marine biologists on a mission. The Seabob is easy to control, safe with a life jacket, and works brilliantly in the calm coves around Marbella. You get the freedom of a private boat with the excitement of a water toy – without the hassle of renting separately.

What a Typical Family Day Looks Like
Your day starts at Puerto Banús, where you'll meet your skipper and get a safety briefing. Head out towards Cabopino or the Marbella coastline, depending on wind and sea conditions. Anchor in a calm cove like Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés, where the water is clear and sheltered. Then it's time for the Seabob – the skipper will show you how to dive, turn, and surface. Alternate Seabob sessions with swimming, snorkelling, and simply lounging on deck. On an 8-hour charter, you can also stop for lunch at a chiringuito or enjoy the onboard snacks.
Safety First: Seabob with Kids
We take safety seriously. Children aged 8 and above can use the Seabob under adult supervision. Life jackets are provided, and the skipper will adjust the Seabob's speed to match the user's confidence. We always operate in calm, shallow areas for beginners. The boat's swim platform and ladder make getting in and out easy, so even less confident swimmers can join in.
Best Spots for Seabob in Marbella
The coastline between Marbella and Estepona is ideal for Seabob. Favourite spots include:
- Cabopino – sandy coves and clear water, sheltered from the wind.
- Cala del Faro – a rocky inlet near the lighthouse, teeming with small fish.
- Cala Cortés – a quiet bay with crystal-clear water, perfect for beginners.
- Río Verde – a scenic stretch near the Golden Mile, with views of La Concha.
Your skipper will choose the best spot based on conditions and your family's experience level.

We'll also provide life jackets and recommend calm spots like Cala del Faro or Cala Cortés for the best experience.

Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen (reef-safe preferred), and a light cover-up. Sunglasses with a strap are handy. We provide water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, and light snacks on board. If you have a GoPro or underwater camera, bring it – the Seabob experience is highly Instagrammable.

Absolutely. The Seabob is perfect for exploring coves and rocky inlets, and you can easily switch to snorkelling in the same spots. Popular stops include Cabopino, Cala del Faro, and Cala Cortés, where the water is calm and clear. Our skipper will tailor the route to your family's preferences.
