Falcon 80S

Onboard the Falcon 80S

At 24 metres, the Falcon 80S sits in that middle ground between a large day boat and a small cruising yacht — enough deck and cabin space for a proper multi-day trip, yet still straightforward to run for a single afternoon out of Port Olímpic. Four cabins split across the lower deck let the yacht sleep 12 guests without doubling anyone up on convertible saloon berths, which matters once a charter turns into an overnight.

Barcelona's harbour approach carries constant ferry and commercial traffic, so a boat of this size benefits from a skipper who treats the entry and exit lanes with care rather than as an open sail-in. Clear of the port, the Falcon 80S is well suited to the run down to Sitges — about 35 kilometres south — where guests can anchor off the bay or push on to Vilanova marina for lunch ashore, back inside a five to seven hour day.

The cabin count works for a family splitting across two or three cabins on a short cruise south along the coast, or for a small corporate group that wants everyone aboard for one event day instead of juggling tenders between smaller boats. Sitting in this mid-size bracket keeps day-rate and fuel planning simple compared with the fuller provisioning and APA budgeting a Balearics crossing would call for — worth raising early when you talk dates and route with your broker.
