The boat only permits up to 10 guests at most, so you’re in for a wonderfully intimate evening.

As you begin to sail away from the city, admire the sun’s soft glow over Barcelona’s skyline. The city lights will begin to glimmer as a golden hue washes over the whole coastline.

Choose from cava, wine, beer, or soft drinks and cheers to an unforgettable evening as you watch the sun continue to set over the city.

As your skipper begins to make their way back to port, keep an eye out for dolphins. This is the time of day when they often swim towards more shallow water for the evening, so there’s a chance that some will join your sunset cruise!

Once you arrive at the marina, feel free to continue making the most of your magical evening by dining out in the vibrant area surrounding Marina Vela.

Hop Aboard a Luxury Charter Yacht

For a magical evening you won’t soon forget, make your way to Marina Vela. From here, your professional skipper will be waiting to help you aboard your luxury charter yacht for the evening. Once you’re on board, meet the rest of your friendly, seafaring group. Only 10 guests are permitted on the boat, so you’ll be treated to a very intimate, personalized cruise!

Watch the Sunset Over Barcelona

Once everyone is on board, it’s time to set sail! As your yacht departs the marina, feel the calming breeze of the sea against your skin. While the sun begins to set behind the city, admire Barcelona’s majestic skyline, complete with mountains in the distance. The coastline is made even more breathtaking as it’s blanketed in a golden glow from the sun. Take out your camera and try to capture the picturesque scene, or simply take it all in as your skipper leads you further out to sea.

Enjoy a Sunset Swim

Once your boat has anchored, feel free to take a dip in the inviting waters of the Mediterranean. The vivid colors of the sunset cast a stunning light on the ripples of water, making it very difficult to resist jumping in! Take your time enjoying an evening swim, then towel off just in time for drinks and tapas.

Raise a Glass!

After an invigorating dip in the water, fuel your appetite with a delicious spread of tapas. Classic Spanish snacks of olives, jamón, cheese and crisps will be provided, along with an open bar of cava, wine, beer, and soft drinks. Enjoy this delicious spread while raising a glass of your favorite beverage. Marvel at the glimmering lights of the city as you cheers with your newfound friends.

Try Dolphin Spotting

To make this evening even more spectacular, you may be lucky enough to be greeted by dolphins during your cruise! This is the time of day when they often retreat to shallower water for the night, so be sure to keep an eye out! Your helpful crew and friendly skipper will also be on the lookout and will point out any fins in the distance.

Once the sun has fully set, your charter yacht will slowly make its way back to the port. Once you’re back on dry land, feel free to continue the enchanting evening by dining in the lively area surrounding Marina Vela.
