Planning a day on the water in Marbella? The Wajer 38S yacht promises a blend of luxury, speed, and comfort, making it an enticing choice for anyone looking to elevate their coastal experience. While it’s on the pricier side—costing around $8,270 for a group of up to 10—the value lies in exclusivity, customization, and the chance to explore the stunning Costa del Sol from a sleek vessel.
What really sets this experience apart are its modern Dutch design, high-performance engines, and modular onboard amenities. Whether celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a private group trip, or just craving a day of relaxed luxury, this tour ticks many boxes.

For those considering this adventure, it’s best suited for groups seeking privacy and personalized service—and those who prioritize comfort and style over a group tour vibe. If you’re a seasoned sailor or just want a laid-back day at sea with friends, this experience can be tailored to your preferences.
