When booking a Marbella yacht charter, knowing how and when to pay is just as important as choosing the right boat. We keep things straightforward: no hidden fees, no surprises. Whether you prefer card, bank transfer, or cash, here is exactly how our payment process works.
Payment Methods We Accept
We offer three secure payment options for your charter in Marbella:
- Credit/Debit Cards – Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Processed via a secure online gateway. No surcharge.
- Bank Transfer – Ideal for bookings made at least 7 days in advance. We provide IBAN and SWIFT details on request.
- Cash – Euros only, accepted at the marina on the day of departure (for the final balance).
All prices on our site include 21% Spanish IVA. What you see is what you pay. For a full list of our fleet and pricing, visit our Marbella boat rental hub.
Deposit and Balance Schedule
To secure your booking, we require a 50% deposit. The remaining balance is due 48 hours before departure. This applies to all charters, including our popular Azimut 39 and Astondoa 40 (both from €749 for 2 hours).
For last-minute bookings (within 48 hours), full payment is required immediately by card or bank transfer. Cash is not accepted for deposits.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
We understand plans change. Here is our straightforward cancellation policy:
- 14+ days before charter – Full refund of deposit.
- 7–13 days before charter – 50% refund of deposit.
- Within 7 days – No refund, but you can reschedule subject to availability.
All refunds are processed within 10 business days to the original payment method. For more details, see our terms and conditions.

Every charter includes a licensed skipper, fuel, water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, cava, light snacks, insurance, safety equipment, and Spanish IVA. No extra charges. For example, our Mangusta 80 (24m, 12 pax) starts at €4,719 for 4 hours, including a free jet ski. No hidden fees.
