Want to feel the spray of the Costa del Sol on a jet ski, then float face-down over a rocky reef teeming with fish? The Marbella jet ski and snorkel combo gives you both – without the faff of renting separate kit or dealing with multiple operators. You get a luxury motor yacht as your base, a jet ski to rip around on, and snorkel gear to explore the clear Mediterranean waters. All in one seamless half-day charter from Puerto Banús.
What You Get: Boat + Jet Ski + Snorkel Gear
This isn't a generic package – it's a proper boat charter with a jet ski thrown in. The star of the show is the Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 guests), available in white or grey, both of which include a jet ski free of charge with a minimum 4-hour booking. You get the full boat experience: a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, cava, white wine, light snacks, insurance, and Spanish VAT (21%). Snorkel masks, fins, and snorkels are provided on board – just bring a towel and sunscreen.
How the Combo Works
You depart from Puerto Banús and cruise along the coast while your skipper briefs you on safety and the day's plan. Once you reach a sheltered cove – typically Cala del Faro, Cala Cortés, or the coves near Cabopino – you take turns on the jet ski. The skipper supervises the session, so even if you're a first-timer, you can ride as a passenger. After the adrenaline, you drop anchor and snorkel the rocky bottoms and seagrass meadows where bream, wrasse, and sometimes octopus hang out.
Pricing: What You Pay
The Mangusta 80 combo starts at €4,719 for a minimum 4-hour charter. That includes the jet ski at no extra cost. If you want a longer day (6 or 8 hours), the price adjusts accordingly – enquire via WhatsApp for exact rates. Other boats in our fleet (like the Azimut 58 Flybridge or Ferretti 94) can be arranged with a jet ski addition, but pricing is on request.
| Boat | Length | Guests | Min. Charter | Price from |

Best Snorkelling Spots Near Marbella
The Costa del Sol has surprisingly good snorkelling when you know where to go. Our skippers favour these spots:
- Cala del Faro – a rocky cove west of Marbella with clear water and good fish life.
- Cala Cortés – a small sheltered bay near Estepona, popular for its calm conditions.
- Cabopino – the dunes and rocky reefs here attract a variety of species.
- Río Verde – a quieter spot east of Puerto Banús, often less crowded.
Your skipper will pick the best option based on wind, swell, and visibility – all within 15–30 minutes of the marina.
What to Bring and Wear
We provide the snorkel gear and towels on board, but you'll want: sunscreen (reef-safe if possible), a hat, sunglasses with a strap, a change of clothes, and a light jacket for the ride back. If you have your own jet ski licence, bring it – otherwise, you can ride as a passenger under the skipper's supervision. The water temperature in summer hits 24–26°C, so a thin wetsuit isn't essential but can help if you get cold easily.
Who Is This Combo For?
Groups of friends, families with older kids (minimum age for jet ski passenger is usually 12), or couples who want a mix of thrill and chill. The Mangusta 80 has plenty of deck space to sunbathe, a saloon with air conditioning, and a forward sun pad – so non-riders can relax while others take the jet ski. It works well for birthday celebrations, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or just a memorable day out.
