Planning a Hen Party Boat Trip in Marbella? Read This First

If you're the one organising, you already know the job: find something everyone will love, keep the group together, don't blow the budget, and make sure the bride has the best day of the trip. A private boat ticks every box — but only if you book the right one. Here's everything you need to know before you do.

Planning one? Our girls’ trips & hen parties page has whole-boat pricing worked out per head, what’s on board, and the questions groups actually ask.

Private boat or party boat?

Marbella has both, and they are very different days.

A party boat puts your group on board with strangers, a fixed route, and a bar bill. A private charter gives you the whole boat — your music, your route, your pace, nobody else's stag do sharing the deck. For a hen group, private wins every time. The bride is the centre of attention, not one of eighty people queuing for drinks.

Our charters are private only. Up to 8 guests, nobody else, and the day runs how your group wants it to run.

What's actually included

Jason, an RYA commercially endorsed skipper and PADI dive professional, is on board to help. Every charter includes fuel, a welcome Prosecco on boarding, and a selection of cold beers, soft drinks and water, and swim stops wherever the group fancies. The welcome Prosecco and a set selection of drinks are included — and you're welcome to bring your own on top, so if the group has a favourite, pack it.

There's a Bluetooth speaker on board. Bring the playlist.

Can we decorate?

Yes. Sashes, balloons, banners, a veil for the bride — all fine. Bring a cake if you like; we'll keep it somewhere it won't slide. Just keep decorations off the water (no confetti or loose glitter — it goes straight in the sea and stays there).

How much does it cost?

Three options, whole boat, all-in:

• 2 hours — €449. The perfect introduction to this coast — Puerto Banús and back along the Golden Mile, with a swim stop on the way.
• 4 hours — €779. The one most groups choose — time to cruise further, anchor properly, swim, and open the Prosecco without watching the clock.
• The Marbella Day Charter (6 hours) — €1,229. The whole day on the water — with the option of lunch ashore at Nikki Beach.

Split between 8, the 4-hour charter is about €98 each — less than most hen dinners, for a day nobody will forget to photograph.

What should everyone bring?

Swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a cover-up for the ride back. Phones charged — and we take photos and videos of the group too, sent over on WhatsApp afterwards, so everyone’s in them. If anyone in the group gets seasick, the morning slots are usually calmer, and we stay close to the coast.

What if the weather turns?

If the sea isn't right on your date, we reschedule free of charge — always. You can also change your date free up to 7 days before. A 25% deposit, paid by secure card payment link, holds the date; the balance is paid on the day. You message us, a real person confirms everything on WhatsApp — no forms, no call centres.

What one recent group said

“Had a brilliant day… Jason was brilliant, great to talk to and knew so much about the area. 10/10 day, would definitely recommend — something on board for everyone.”— Grace C. · Google review

Our planning tips

Tell us the occasion when you book so we can plan the right pace — morning slots are calmer and cooler, the four-hour Mediterranean gives you the platform and the Marbella Club anchorage, and the Sunset Cruise is pure celebration. Let us know numbers and any surprises; we're good at keeping them quiet until the moment. And send the bride's playlist ahead if you want it ready on the speakers when she steps aboard.

How to book it

Message us on WhatsApp with your preferred date and group size — that's it. We'll confirm availability, answer anything the group is wondering, and hold your date.
