The harbors in Barcelona

Harbors and marinas can be found on the coast of Barcelona as well as in the neighboring coastal cities. Barcelona’s main harbor, Port of Barcelona, is located in Barceloneta and is divided into five different areas: Port Vell, the commercial port, the cruise ship port, the energy port, and the logistics port. Port Vell is where private boat owners and renters can dock their boats for a few hours to enjoy the beach or the portside restaurants. Within the city coast, you will also find the Port Forum, a fully-equipped port situated only 15 minutes from downtown Barcelona and 20 minutes from the international airport. A little further up the coast, situated in the Poblenou district, you will find Port Olimpic. From here you can dock your boat and enjoy the up-and-coming district of Poblenou or dip your toes in the blue-watered beaches.

What can you see/do in Barcelona?

The city of Barcelona lends itself well to long walks along its narrow streets and lively beaches. Explore the wide range of cultural activities the city has to offer before grabbing a table at a restaurant in Barceloneta. Take in the view while savoring a plate of paella, ideally accompanied by a tinto de verano, a sangria, or even a glass of cava.

When you’re not out on the water, here are some places you can visit:

• Montjuïc
• Gothic Quarter
• Park Güell
• Mercado de la Boqueria
• La Rambla

Renting a boat with a skipper

During your private yacht charter in Barcelona, you have the choice of either hiring a captain or not. However, if you plan on a bareboat yacht rental in Barcelona, make sure to check the laws surrounding boating licenses before setting sail. This will help you avoid accidentally breaking any laws during your voyage.

A bareboat charter in Barcelona is perfect for anyone who has a lot of sailing experience and wants the freedom to stop off wherever they please during their trip. On the other hand, those seeking something more relaxing and luxurious should opt for a private yacht charter in Barcelona, complete with a skipper and maybe even a crew. The skipper on board such vessels is usually a local, which means that they can take you to all the best-kept secrets in Barcelona, while the crew will take of everything throughout your trip, allowing you to revel in the luxury of your nautical vacation.

What boats should I rent?

With boat rental in Barcelona being in such high demand, you can be sure to find a boat that suits your charter vacation dream on our platform. Take a look through our website to find your next yacht rental.

When choosing a boat, you should keep certain things in mind such as the type of activities you would like to do, the number of people going, the length of the rental (half-day, full-day, week…), etc. Answering these questions will help you choose between renting a motorboat, sailboat, catamaran, and other options available. For example, if you are looking to spend a calm and family-friendly few days out on the water, look into renting a catamaran with a captain and crew on board. If you are an adventurous couple or small group of friends, a motor yacht may offer you just what you are looking for for a fun sporty day out on the water.

When is the best time to go?

Barcelona is a great year-round vacation spot, however, for optimal sailing conditions, we recommend visiting from May to August. During this season you will be able to enjoy the spring or summer sun and the flurry of festivals that take place in the city.
