A practical guide for guests planning a Maia Fair charter
Maia Fair, a 72ft Sunseeker 68 Sport Yacht, accommodates up to 12 guests on day charters from Puerto Banus, with a half day from €4,375 and a full day from €7,000. The yacht is sized for a group of 12 to spread comfortably across the flybridge, sundeck, cockpit and saloon, with 3 en-suite cabins below for changing or rest. For larger groups of 16 to 24, Maia Fair pairs with the Saxdor 320 speedboat as a combined fleet.
Maia Fair is licensed for 12 day guests under UK MCA commercial vessel certification, the optimal capacity for the 72ft Sunseeker 68 Sport Yacht layout. At 12 guests, every guest has comfortable seating across the flybridge, cockpit, saloon and sundeck, with the watersports kit accessible without overcrowding. Above 12 day guests would compromise both safety certification and the comfort that makes the yacht work for a group day.
The flybridge takes 6 to 8 guests for sun and sea views. The aft cockpit suits another 4 to 6 in shade. The saloon below provides air conditioned space for hotter parts of the day. The 3 en-suite cabins are available for changing, freshening up or resting. The watersports platform at the stern handles the jet ski, Seabob and boards in rotation, with the qualified RYA instructor managing safety.
Catering for 12 guests works particularly well as either a buffet style spread on the saloon table, a plated multi course Spanish menu served on the flybridge, or a combination of both. Champagne packages, fresh seafood platters and full chef service are all options arranged through the crew with established Marbella catering partners. Allergy and dietary requirements are accommodated with advance notice.
A group of 12 is large enough to feel like a proper celebration but small enough to remain intimate. The watersports session works particularly well for groups of 12, with the crew rotating guests through the jet ski, Seabob and water skis so everyone gets time on the water without queueing. Beach club tender drops for groups of 12 require advance booking but the major venues (Nikki Beach, Trocadero Arena, Puente Romano) all accommodate group bookings.
For groups exceeding the 12 guest day limit, Maia Fair pairs with the Saxdor 320 speedboat as a combined fleet. Both vessels depart Berth 092 together, anchor at the same spots, and operate as a coordinated charter. Combined capacity is 24 guests across both boats, ideal for larger stag and hen groups, milestone birthdays, and corporate days that exceed the 12 guest threshold.

Yes. The crew arranges private chef service through established Marbella partners. Multi course Spanish menus, themed cuisine and bespoke menu development are all options with advance notice.
The flybridge dining area seats up to 12 for a sit down meal. The cockpit area provides additional seating for cocktails and starters. For larger groups using both Maia Fair and the Saxdor, dining splits across both vessels.
Boarding takes around 15 minutes for 12 guests. The crew greets each guest, runs through the safety briefing, takes drinks orders and stows belongings before casting off. Arrive 15 minutes before departure time.
Group sizes up to 12 are flexible and require no change to the booking. Anything above 12 requires the addition of the Saxdor 320 to the booking, subject to availability.
