What is a Tandem Charter? - Yacht Charters in Marbella
Whether is a day-charter or a week charter, a yacht or sailboat accommodates up to 10-12 guests. However, you got a much larger group and want to sail together? What to do in this case?
The answer is to charter several yachts that will cruise together in the beautiful surroundings of Marbella.
This is called a “tandem charter“.
A tandem charter involves renting multiple yachts (at least 2) that sail in coordination with one another, will anchor together and will act as a unit. Yes, two yachts are much better than a single one!
When should you consider a tandem charter?
Are you a company looking for a teambuilding activity at sea? Large family, group of friends or celebrating a big event/birthday with a large group?
This setup is particularly suited for larger groups, as it allows groups to split in different yachts in a more private setting, while still participating in group-wide activities.
In Marbella, tandem charters are mostly requested for corporate activities.
It all depends on your preferences and budget. You can charter two similar yachts or different ones to have diversity and access to different amenities. Most groups choose similar charter yachts/sailboats for a tandem journey to have equal amenities and to enjoy the same layout style.
If you travel with family and friends, don’t worry, you might get together or swim close to each other when the boats anchor.
Activities during a tandem charter:
-
Enjoy the relaxing atmosphere on deck, while admiring the other boats following the same route.
-
Do water activities: take advantage of the water toys on board, which can be paddle boards, kayaks, donut, seabobs, jetski etc.
-
Dine on board: indulge in the Spanish culinary experience with paella and tapas served on board.
-
Get amazing drone shots and photos on your camera!
In Marbella, the most common charters are day-charters. A tandem charter can vary from 2 hours, to half-day 4 hours, 6 hours or full-day 8 hours.
The best part is that these types of charters can be very customizable with activities.
