The Marbella Charter Fleet: From Day Boats to Superyachts

Every yacht listed here charters out of Puerto Banús or Marbella Marina, ranging from a 3-metre day boat up to a 62.5-metre superyacht.

The range is wide on purpose. A family heading out for an afternoon might book something closer to the Princess 64 Fly, ten guests, straightforward to handle for a few hours on the water. A corporate group planning a full day could look at the Sunseeker 95 or the Sunseeker Thumper, both built for twelve guests with the deck space a client lunch needs. At the top end, vessels like the Feadship Emerald or Oceanco The Wellesley — 50 and 56 metres, twelve guests each — sit in the fleet for charters where the boat itself is part of the occasion. Puerto Banús, with its 1,100 berths, handles most of the larger arrivals; Marbella Marina's 150 berths suit the smaller sport-yachts and day boats booked for shorter runs. Route planning follows the guest list rather than a fixed loop. Families with children tend to anchor closer in, inside Bahía de Marbella, where the water sits calmer for swim stops and the run back to the marina stays short. Groups after quieter water and better snorkelling can head west toward Estepona, a lighter stretch of coast with less boat traffic. Multi-day charters are part of the fleet's regular use too, with provisioning arranged through the Puerto Banús marina complex and route and customs planning worked out ahead of departure, so a longer trip doesn't start with logistics still open.
