The Wellesley

At 56 metres, The Wellesley sits among the larger vessels available for charter from Marbella, with six cabins arranged to sleep twelve guests without anyone doubling up on space. The scale shows in how sound and motion fall away once she's underway — deck areas that stay usable at anchor, and cabins built for a full week aboard rather than a single afternoon out.

Groups based out of Puerto Banús often use The Wellesley for a slower kind of trip: a run west toward Estepona bay for quieter beaches and better snorkelling near Punta de la Chullera, followed by a night or two on anchor before heading back to Marbella. With six cabins to work with, two families travelling together, or three generations of one, don't need to compromise on privacy the way they would on a smaller yacht.

Booking a vessel this size at Puerto Banús takes planning — superyacht berths fill early for July and August, so confirming dates ahead of peak season matters. Fuel and APA costs scale with the route: a coastal day off Marbella uses far less than a run out toward the Strait of Gibraltar, and we set out realistic estimates for both before any contract is signed rather than leave guests to guess. Guest capacity stays fixed at twelve across six cabins, so multi-day plans and any customs steps on cross-border legs get worked through with the captain beforehand.
