Why private

A day on the water should belong to you — not to a timetable.

Most boat trips in Marbella pack you onto a crowded deck and run the same loop every hour. We do the opposite. One group, one boat, one route — cruise the Golden Mile past Marbella's landmark hotels and villas, drop anchor for a swim wherever the water's best that day, and finish, time allowing, off the Marbella Club with the floating Barco Bar alongside. Your skipper runs the day; you don't have to be the sensible one.

Your skipper · Jason

Every charter is run personally by Jason. He's been diving since he was sixteen, and has lived and worked in Marbella for over five years — so he knows this stretch of coast: the calm morning coves, where the dolphins tend to show, the quiet spots away from the crowds. The priority is always the same: a safe, relaxed day at sea, run at your pace. You're in good hands from the moment you step aboard.

“Jason was an excellent guide. Would highly recommend.”— Ian Berry, Google ★★★★★
“Had an amazing day with the host Jason. I done an incredible dive at the tower with octopus, cuttlefish and eels, with crazy amounts of fish everywhere… I would highly recommend Visitar Marbella.”— Neal Sedgwick, Google ★★★★★

Visitar Marbella at golden hour beneath La Concha

The coast turns gold at sunset.

Stay out as the tour boats head in, the light goes amber, and the coast empties. Chilled Prosecco, the water glassing over, La Concha glowing behind you — the best hour on the Mediterranean, and the quietest.

Dolphins, if they turn up

Common and bottlenose dolphins work this coast and sometimes ride the bow. We see them often; nobody can promise them. What you might meet, above and below the water.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

Is the boat private to my group?

Always — up to 8 guests, and it’s a hard limit, which is what makes it a proper private boat rather than a crowded one. Every charter is exclusively yours — no strangers, no fixed schedule, no crowded tour boat. The day is shaped around what your group wants to do.

How much does a charter cost?

€449 for the 2-hour Coastal Escape, €499 for the 2-hour Sunset Cruise, €779 for the 4-hour Mediterranean and €1,229 for the 6-hour Day Charter — the whole boat, up to 8 guests, skipper and fuel included. Split eight ways the 4-hour works out around €98 each. Prices are fixed; there are no per-person surcharges. Any charter can be extended on the day at €200 an hour if the diary allows.

What's included in the price?

Your professional skipper, fuel, snorkel gear, a paddleboard, a Bluetooth sound system, and a welcome Prosecco plus a selection of cold beers, soft drinks and water — chilled and ready on board. The price you see is the price you pay. Bring your own towels — they aren’t provided. Celebrating? Extra bottles of Prosecco are €25 a bottle, arranged when you book.

What happens if the weather's bad?

We only head out when conditions are right — your safety and a good day come first. Free date changes up to 7 days before your charter. If we cancel for weather, you reschedule free of charge at any time. Deposits are non-refundable on outright cancellation within 7 days of the charter. You won't be pushed out in rough water, and we'll always be straight with you about it.

Can non-swimmers or pregnant guests come?

Non-swimmers are fine — there are lifejackets in every size, and on 4-hour and longer charters the floating platform is an easy way to enjoy the water. Pregnant guests are welcome too, but be aware that stepping aboard and getting to the toilet below deck isn’t always easy, and it’s the skipper’s call on the day if the sea is up. Tell us before you book and we’ll plan around it.

Are children welcome?

Absolutely — the SPACEdeck and swim platform make it an easy, comfortable day for families. Let us know ages so we can plan the right pace and gear.

Can we bring our own food and drinks?

Yes — bring whatever you like. There’s fridge space and a cool box for anything you carry on, and most groups pick something up on the way to the marina.

Where do you depart from?

Puerto Deportivo de Marbella, Berth 109 — in the heart of Marbella, a short ride from the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús. We'll send exact directions when you book.

Are you licensed and insured?

Fully — and we're happy to show it. Your skipper is commercially licensed (RYA/MCA Powerboat Level 2 and Day Skipper, commercially endorsed) and a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer. The boat carries vessel, public and passenger insurance, with dedicated dive cover through DAN Europe, plus lifejackets, oxygen, an AED and full safety equipment on board. You can read the complete list of qualifications and cover on our About page.
