Catamaran charter in Barcelona
A Lagoon 42 with a big cockpit and a sound system, for when the guest list is long and everyone needs room.
Catamaran charter in Barcelona is the easiest way to get a big group afloat without anyone feeling squeezed. The 12.8-metre Lagoon 42 takes 12, and there is space to spare: some stretch out on the trampoline, others claim the flybridge, and the conversation carries on around the cockpit table. That is why it is booked so often for birthdays and team outings.
There is a music system aboard, and catering can be arranged ahead, turning the cruise into a small party with Barceloneta and Montjuïc as the backdrop. Twin hulls keep the deck level, so glasses and plates stay put in a light chop. A skipper is in charge, and the minimum hire is usually three hours.
With four cabins, the catamaran is also available by the week. Barcelona then becomes merely the starting line for a Costa Brava route towards Tossa de Mar, Calella de Palafrugell and Cap de Creus. Cruising around 8 knots, it settles into an easy pace built around nights in marinas along the way.
