The best way to see Barcelona… by boat!

As the weather warms up, and summer is well on its way, thereÂ’s no better way to explore the city, soak up the rays and relax, than by riding the waves of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. Forget traipsing around the city as the weather hits the 30 degree mark; it becomes nothing but an unpleasant trip of seeking a rare spot of shade for you cool off in. Instead, why not go about your city break slightly different this year and enjoy a day out that the whole family will enjoy? Whether you’re looking for a quick cruise along the coastline, an evening of fine dining on board or to rent a private yacht, there’s something for you. Private yachts Specialists in luxury private yacht rental, Boat Charter BCN provides fully crewed yachts available for day, weekend or weekly charters around the beautiful Barcelona city and nearby town, Sitges. Ranging from 20 to 40m in size, they can accommodate from 8 to 12 guests for overnight trips and up to 12 for day charters. Boat Charter BCN Their most basic package consists of enjoying the yacht in all its glory by sunbathing on its decks and having lunch on board followed by an intimate evening fiesta. Some packages also include additional features such as cocktail parties, fashion photoshoots and accommodation. Yacht charters are also a fantastic complement to any local events taking place in the Barcelona area. They often offer special packages during local festivities such as watching the spectacular firework show at the Sitges Fiesta Mayor from your private viewing deck on board. With Boat Charter BCN you can trust that you will enjoy a top class yachting experience with their VIP concierge service assisting your every need in order to make your stay flawless. Tip: donÂ’t let that feisty sea breeze get the better of you, bring a hat and plenty of sunscreen! Wine tasting cruises Want to make your boating in Barcelona experience that extra bit special? Why not try one of Orsom BarcelonaÂ’s fabulous wine tasting cruises, which are available for both company and private charters. Wine Tasting Cruise Barcelona This one of a kind tour allows you to enjoy the superb views of BarcelonaÂ’s coastline whist a professional sommelier transforms you from a wine amateur to a wine connoisseur in a matter of hours.

An evening of fine dining Lifestyle Barcelona offers the perfect romantic experience on board one of their luxurious sailboats. Whisk your loved one away for an unforgettable evening, ideal for a special occasion or simply if you want to spend some alone time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Fine Dining Barcelona Take your pick from a candlelit dinner in the cabin dining room or gourmet supper on the deck bathed in moonlight. Follow this with a 2 hour sunset sail along the magnificent coastline and an entire evening on board in total privacy until you are lulled to sleep by the soothing motion of the waves. In the morning, enjoy a delicious and relaxing breakfast as you mentally prepare yourself to head back to shore (and reality).
