Sailboats in Barcelona

Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia and the second-largest city of Spain. Thanks to its strategic location on the Mediterranean coast, the city acts as a gateway to Europe for goods coming from Africa, Asia, and other parts of the world. Barcelona also has a high population index (around 5.6 million people) and has an international airport that connects to all five continents. A rise in sustainable and economic growth has granted Barcelona the title of a grand European metropolis. It is a world-class city saturated with art, science, media, and fashion. 

The history of Barcelona has been closely linked to the sea, and for millennia its natural terrain was crisscrossed by watercourses formed by very compact clays. After the Roman Barcino was established by the Romans during the reign of Augustus, the coastline varied due to its constant dynamics between the sea and land. The sea created islets and lagoons, which gradually formed a built-up landscape. Today, the coastline has inherited centuries of evolution, providing the opportunity to enjoy leisure activities and sailing away from the urban world.

Before you rent a sailboat in Barcelona and sail the wonderful Catalan coastline, we recommend you to visit several tourist attractions. Out of Barcelona’s sixty-eight parks, it is worth exploring Ciutadella Park, the largest green space within the city. Among Barcelona’s highlights is the Passeig de Gracia. Here, you will find big fashion brands and restaurants that are connected to the central part of the city. La Rambla is the most popular street in Barcelona, which leads to the old port. It is not too far from the Gothic Quarter, known for buildings that date as far back as the Roman period. Walking around the old town, you will have the opportunity to enjoy live performances, cultural attractions, and taste the Spanish appetizers known as Tapas. The most visited monument in Spain is Gaudi’s architectural accomplishment, known as La Sagrada Familia. This is a giant Basilica and perhaps the best-known structure of Catalan Modernism that attracts over 3 million tourists annually.

Extending outwards, away from the metropolitan area, it is time for you to rent a sailing yacht in Barcelona and explore the most exciting destinations in Europe from the water. With a private sailboat in Barcelona, you cannot miss the chance to stop by the coastal town of Sitges, situated 35 kilometers southwest of the city. Sitges is known worldwide for its Film Festival and Carnival and is often referred to as the “St Tropez of Spain.” There is also a fantastic old town and 17 different beaches you can pick from. On your way back to Barcelona, you can make a stop at Castelldefels, best known for its 5 km of gorgeous beaches and castles.

If you have a strict budget and time schedule, you can rent a sailboat for a 2-hour cruise in Barcelona and continue reaching down the coast from Sitges. This way, you can make a stop at Tarragona, one of the wealthiest towns in Spain. It is also home to Port Aventura, one of the largest and most visited amusement parks in Europe. Near Tarragona, you will find the breathtaking landscape known as the Costa Dorada, famous for its pristine waters and fine golden sands. A sailing experience in Barcelona will allow you to find new anchoring spots and swim and snorkel in protected coves around Estartit, Girona, and Roses Bay.

Finally, a private sailing trip in Barcelona can last for as long as a week. You can make a stop at the exotic Balearic Islands, such as Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza. Sailing away from the crowds will make your return home with the most charming memories.
