Azimut 116

Onboard the Azimut 116

At 36 metres, Azimut 116 carries enough deck and cabin space to keep a group of twelve comfortable rather than crowded together. Five cabins are laid out so each guest has a private space to retreat to, which matters over a full day on the water or an overnight stop rather than a short afternoon run. Open deck areas give the group room to spread out for lunch, quiet reading, or simply sitting apart from the rest of the party while the boat is under way.

Leaving from Port Olímpic, Azimut 116 suits a day south to Sitges: roughly 35 kilometres of coast, a bay that sits more sheltered than open Barcelona water, and a stop for swimming before lunch ashore at one of the seafront restaurants. The run down and back fits comfortably inside a five to seven hour day, leaving time to linger rather than rush the return.

The five-cabin layout suits extended family groups spanning generations, or a small corporate group that wants twelve seats with room to separate meetings from downtime. Barcelona's harbour carries heavy commercial and ferry traffic, so the crew handles entry and exit at Port Olímpic, leaving guests free to treat departure and return as the easiest part of the day. Day rate and fuel are agreed before departure, and longer routes south toward the Ebro Delta, or a multi-day crossing to the Balearics, are worth raising early given the cabin count and the stocking of supplies a longer trip calls for.
