Yachts for Charter in Marbella

This category covers the middle ground of the fleet: 39 yachts built for a full day or a run of days on the water, sized above the open day boats but distinct from the superyacht tier. Guest capacity across this group typically runs to ten or twelve, matching vessels such as the Princess 64 Fly or the Arcadia Sherpa 60, so groups of couples, small families or a corporate table can be seated, fed and moved between anchorages without feeling like an afterthought on a larger platform. Day rates in this bracket start from €3,700, and the spread reflects age, layout and engine specification more than headline length.

Most charters in this range leave from Puerto Banús, run west along the Estepona coastline for calmer water and better visibility for swimming and snorkelling, or stay closer to the Bahía de Marbella for an afternoon anchorage and a sunset return. A longer passage east toward Málaga or west toward the Gibraltar Strait is possible with the right crew and forecast, though currents near the Strait call for an experienced skipper and some tidal planning rather than a casual detour. Multi-day use is common here too: provisioning can be arranged through the marina before departure, and a route can be built around consecutive anchorages rather than a single loop.

Because this size class sits between light day-charter and full crewed superyacht operation, fuel burn and APA vary more than the brochure figures suggest. A coastal day out from Puerto Banús uses noticeably less fuel than a Gibraltar approach, and it is worth asking for a realistic estimate against the actual route rather than a flat percentage, especially if the itinerary includes a longer westward run. Guest numbers, sleeping capacity for overnight charters, and the balance between cabin space and deck space are worth checking vessel by vessel, since two yachts of similar length in this bracket can differ substantially in how they are laid out below deck.
