Beneteau Oceanis 38.1 in Barcelona

The Beneteau Oceanis 38.1 is the most common sailing yacht for cruises in Barcelona. A two-hour sunset sail from Port Vell along the Barceloneta beaches, with a glass of cava and views of Montjuïc and the W hotel, is a favourite with couples and small groups. The skipper sails while you enjoy the breeze and photograph the city.

Three cabins and a galley mean the yacht also suits a full day with a swim off Garraf or a week along the Costa Brava. The drop-down transom makes getting into the water easy. The most affordable way to rent a captained yacht in Barcelona. Drinks and snacks can be pre-ordered, and the skipper will time the departure for sunset over Montjuïc.
