Yacht charter Barcelona

If you think of Barcelona, the first thing that probably comes to mind is the impressive architecture, especially characterized by Antoni Gaudi with his life's work of the Sagrada Familia and the Park Güell . Your yacht charter Barcelona lets you experience this breathtaking metropolis from the sea. Just to see the skyline from the water is worth the trip. A worthwhile introduction to the city from the sea is the Aquarium of the city. In the longest underwater tunnel in Europe, you can experience local as well as tropical underwater worlds close enough to touch (with a previously purchased online ticket, you can avoid the sometimes long queues at the ticket office). After visiting the underwater world, fortify yourself with fresh fish from one of the menus in the old dockworkers' district of Barceloneta, known for its wide selection of fish restaurants. Or stroll along the Rambla, Barcelona's famous boulevard, and enjoy tapas and other Spanish specialties. Afterwards, stroll through Ciutadella Park and discover the Font de la Cascada fountain. On this fountain, designed by Josep Fontserè, Antoni Gaudi was already involved, at that time still as his student. After resting in the shade of the surrounding trees while listening to the splashing of the fountains, head to the Sagrada Familia. Started in 1882 and taken over by Gaudi a year later, the building is still unfinished today. In 2005, the basilica was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. Another Gaudi highlight of the city can be found with the Park Güell. The park, which covers a total of 17 hectares, is also home to the residence of the artist himself.

Another artist who has influenced the city of Barcelona or who was influenced by the city is Picasso. In the quarter La Ribera, not far from the Port Olimpic, the Museu Picasso shows mainly early works of the artist, peppered with some works of later creative phases. From the harbor, the cable car takes you to the Jardins de Mossèn Costa i Llobera. After already enjoying a breathtaking view of the city from the cable car, the gardens, which specialize in desert plants, also offer a beautiful view over the city and the sea again and again. From here it is not far to the Font Magica. It is especially worthwhile to come to this largest fountain in Barcelona in the evening. A light show with water games and music takes place here regularly. Of course, Barcelona also offers a wide range of evening activities. A good meal in one of the many restaurants, drink a sangria or cava in one of the cozy bars of the city and watch the colorful hustle and bustle around you.
If you have had enough of all the art, culture and impressions of the city, you can also retreat to one of the beaches in Barcelona. A series of sandy beaches stretches from Puerto Barcelona up the coast. For example, the Platja la Barceloneta, a popular stretch of beach where many dancers, musicians and sand sculptors often gather, so there is always something to look at. The Nova Icària and Nova Mar Bella beaches are both quieter beaches and therefore very family friendly. Platja Nova Icària even has playgrounds and a table tennis table, so there is no time for boredom besides the swimming fun.

Sailing along the Costa Brava - relaxing with the family or diving in an extraordinary variety of species

As beautiful and impressive as the city is, a yacht charter Barcelona has even more highlights to offer. Set sail for the Costa Brava, the wild coastline at Spain's northeastern end. With a stopover in Mataró, to visit the ruins of a Roman villa from the 1st century BC, or directly in a day trip you will reach Blanes, the southernmost town of the Costa Brava. Here a visit to the botanical garden, Jardí Botànic Marimurtra, with exotic plants and a beautiful view of the sea is tempting. A visit to the Castell de Sant Joan also promises a good overview. Climbing the 13th century castle is almost a must when visiting Blanes. No matter in which direction you look, you will be rewarded with beautiful impressions. Perhaps you will also discover your yacht lying in the harbor from up here. The beach promenade of the town, which has been awarded as a particularly family-friendly vacation destination, radiates a relaxing atmosphere with its many small cafés. The beaches are shallow and the water crystal clear and equipped with all kinds of facilities such as showers, toilets and lifeguards. Windsurfing, water skiing, parasailing and pedal boating are other activities you can enjoy here.
Further along the Costa Brava towards Palamós lies Tossa de Mar. Its historic old town center is set in the walls of a fortress dating from the 12th to 14th centuries and is a sight worth seeing, not only from the sea. The old fishing town offers an interesting excursion destination with its fishing museum. Water sports fans will find excellent diving conditions near L'Estartit with the offshore nature park of the Medes Islands and a well-known spot for windsurfing in Roses.
All along the Costa Brava you will find small bays with lonely beaches. The coastline is easy to sail even for less experienced sailors and the wind conditions are moderate. Also families will find a pleasant trip here, with regular anchorages and small highlights also for the little sailors.

Costa Daurada or even a blue water day

In southwest direction on your yacht charter Barcelona the Costa Daurada is waiting for you, well known for its quiet shallow sandy beaches. The beautiful town of Sitges is the closest from Barcelona. Small narrow streets between bright white houses. A little hippie flair and cosmopolitan people, with whom it is easy to start a conversation in one of the small bars. Several small beaches offer not only relaxation by the sea. Among other things, kayaks are offered for rent, but there are also opportunities for kite surfing, wakeboarding or water skiing. Golf fans will find the opportunity for sporting activity with a large course on site.
A little further along the coast to the southwest is Tarragona, the capital of this coastal area. Immerse yourself in the Roman heyday of the 2nd century AD. Visit the amphitheater near the harbor or the aqueduct de les Ferreres. Nature lovers will find just over 300 species of birds in their natural habitat in the Ebro Delta Natural Park. There are also many viewpoints where you can stop and enjoy a walk through the incomparable flora of the delta.

If you are looking for a little blue water sailing, a yacht charter in Barcelona will give you the chance to do just that. A crossing to the Balearic Islands Mallorca or Menorca with its capital Mahón is feasible. Check the weather conditions carefully beforehand and then head out to sea with the possibility of even meeting dolphins in between.

For your yacht charter Barcelona offers a sailing area as diverse as the city itself. There is something for every sailor and with the Costa Brava and the Costa Daurada at your doorstep you are spoilt for choice, but in any case a successful vacation.
