Sport Yachts for Charter in Barcelona

Sport yachts sit at the fast, low-fuss end of the fleet — vessels built for a day on the water rather than a week aboard, and Barcelona's ten-strong selection in this class reflects that: the Princess 64 Fly and Tecnomar Lamborghini 63, both 20 metres and configured for ten guests, plus the Arcadia Sherpa 60 at 18.7 metres with room for twelve. Rates in this category start from €4,200 a day, which puts a genuinely fast, well-finished boat within reach of a couple wanting an afternoon on the water without committing to a full crewed superyacht.

The format suits Barcelona's geography better than it might elsewhere. Leaving from Port Olímpic, the outer mole and fuel dock make for a straightforward departure, though the harbour itself carries heavy ferry and commercial traffic near the entrance — worth briefing guests on before the skipper takes the helm through the approach channels. Once clear, these boats have the range and speed to make the Sitges run, roughly 35 kilometres south, in well under the time a slower motor yacht would need, with the option to anchor off the town or continue into Vilanova marina for lunch ashore. In the mornings, when the bay tends to lie flat before the afternoon Tramontane breeze fills in, a sport yacht from this fleet can just as easily hold position for swimming stops or a shorter loop along the illuminated waterfront if the plan is an evening cruise rather than a full day out.

What unites the ten boats is less their length than their intent: quick to get moving, easy to swim from, and sized for parties who want water time rather than cabin space. None of them are set up as overnight cruisers for the Balearics — that's a different fleet and a different kind of provisioning — but for a single sun-and-swim day, or a sunset run back into Port Olímpic as the city lights come up, this is the class built for it.
