Private sailing

Barcelona,
seen from the sea.

Gerard Dalmau coordinates the sourcing and chartering of private yachts with skipper, sailing from Port Vell, Port Olímpic or other marinas in the city — from an afternoon at sea to a multi-day trip towards the Costa Brava or the Balearic Islands.

Day trip along the Barcelona coast

A day at sea
along the coast

02

Sunset and
celebrations on board

Sunset trips, birthdays, anniversaries or small private celebrations on board, with catering, drinks and atmosphere coordinated to suit the occasion.

Transfer and disposal
for you and for the crew

The service doesn't end at the mooring. A private transfer is coordinated from the hotel or airport to the marina on the day of boarding, along with crew logistics: crew changes, provisioning runs or one-off transfers during the season — all with the same trusted vehicle and driver you already know.

Skipper and crew

The sea doesn't forgive
improvisation.

Only boats with a qualified professional skipper and trained crew are used:

Qualified skipper and crew with real experience in the waters of Barcelona and the north-western Mediterranean.

Knowledge of coves, anchorages and sea conditions to adapt the route on the day, rather than following a fixed itinerary.

Language skills to look after international crew and passengers without barriers.

Discretion and careful manner — the same standard as any other service.

Frequently asked questions

Which port do the yachts sail from?

Mainly from Port Vell and Port Olímpic, Barcelona's most central marinas — departure from Port Fòrum or other marinas along the coast can also be arranged depending on the yacht chosen.

How many people fit on board?

It depends on the boat: from small yachts for 6-10 people to larger models set up for private events with up to 50 guests.

Can I charter for just a few hours?

Yes. Day trips typically run from 2 to 8 hours, though full days or multi-day trips can also be arranged if more time is available.

Does the yacht include a skipper and crew?

Yes, standard practice in Barcelona is chartering with a professional skipper included — you don't need your own boating licence to sail.

Do you also handle crew transfers?

Yes. Besides transferring clients to the marina, crew logistics are coordinated whenever needed: crew changes, provisioning runs or one-off transfers during the sailing season.
