The town of Blanes is located on the border of two coastal sections on the coast of Spain. Depending on which direction you drift on your sailing vacation, different coastal landscapes await you. On your yacht charter trip you can sail along the wild coast of Spain, the Costa Brava. Not all areas are crowded with tourists, even in the east not far from Blanes you can find lonely bays in the rocky coast, small fishing villages with a long tradition and good local food. The nature reserves invite to hiking tours and the sunsets transform the rugged cliffs into a picturesque scenery. On the other hand, the Costa Daurada, the golden coast, begins here in the direction of the south, with its long, shallow sandy beaches and places rich in history.

Yacht charter Blanes
Your yacht charter Blanes takes you to the southernmost point of the Costa Brava. To the northeast lies the wild coast with the foothills of the Pyrenees and therefore mostly rugged rocky coast, which opens up again and again to small bays with secluded beaches. To the southwest lies Barcelona and behind it the Costa Daurada with golden sandy beaches and shallow waters. Before deciding which way to turn, enjoy the old town of this small fishing town. The restaurants offer a wide selection of fish and seafood on their menus, as well as other typical Spanish delicacies. On weekdays, the afternoon fish auction in the fishing port is a worthwhile experience. Just outside the town are two beaches, separated by the prominent rock Sa Palomera: Platja de Blanes to the north and Platja de S'Abanell to the south. You can stroll along the beach promenade and stop at one of the cafés. With the botanical garden Marimurtra you will get to know on your yacht charter Blanes one of the most important botanical gardens in Spain. More than 4000 plant species from 5 continents are arranged in three different areas and offer a beautiful sight at any time of the year. In between, the park offers views of the blue expanse of the sea, for example at the Temple of Linné.
Along the rugged rocky coast - the Costa Brava
From Blanes up the coast, your cruise will take you along the Costa Brava. The 220 kilometers to the French border are characterized by the rugged rocky massifs of the Pyrenees running parallel to the coast. Along the coast you will find several points of call that cater to different interests and are not overshadowed by mass tourism. Behind Lloret de Mar, which is mainly visited by party tourists, the green Costa Brava begins. Around Tossa de Mar are small bays with narrow strips of sand and green rocky coastline. The old town of the city is a popular attraction on the Costa Brava and is surrounded by fortress walls from the 14th century. The rocky coves near Sant Feliu de Guíxols, such as Sa Conca and Cala de Vaques, also offer frequent opportunities for anchoring, sunbathing and swimming in a quieter atmosphere. Well known in Palamós is the fishing museum with modernly prepared exhibitions about the close connection of this region to the sea and fishing. Diving and hiking can be done in the nature reserve of the Medas Islands near L'Estartit.
Barcelona and the Costa Daurada
Just 60 kilometers southwest of the marina in Blanes is the vibrant city of Barcelona. Combine an unforgettable time surrounded by the solitude of the sea with a visit to the lively city, which is so rich in art and culture. From here you can also quickly reach the Costa Daurada with its shallow sandy beaches, such as Sitges with its 4 kilometers of beach right outside the door. Here you will also find the historic city of Tarragona with its numerous Roman monuments and amphitheater right on the beach.
Both the Costa Brava and the Costa Daurada are also well suited for sailing beginners. Families with children will find bathing fun on the shallow sandy beaches northwest of Blanes as well as in the secluded bays on the Costa Brava.
