Port Olímpic in the city itself meant we moved from a strategy session to a regatta course in minutes. No other base gave us that.

Corporate yachting in Barcelona.
Barcelona combines vibrant city culture with open-water sailing along the Catalan coast, straight from the heart of the city. Our base is Port Olímpic, built for the 1992 Olympic Games sailing events, with more than 740 berths and 25 minutes from BCN airport — one of the best-connected bases in our portfolio.
The Garbí thermal wind gives reliable afternoon sailing conditions of 12 to 18 knots from May to September, ideal for regattas. A business agenda ashore in the morning, guaranteed wind on the water in the afternoon, and the city itself in the evening — it is a pattern that suits regattas, team building and strategy offsites.
The city's iconic skyline, including the Sagrada Familia and Hotel Arts, is clearly visible from the sailing area, which gives a recognisable hero visual that few sailing destinations can match. The season runs from May to October, and English at level 5 of 5 makes Barcelona a first choice for international teams.

Client event
The gastronomy of Barcelona is among the best in Europe, from the Catalan seafood of the Barceloneta to the Michelin kitchens of the city. For corporate groups we arrange private dinners on the yachts, closed venues in the city for a closing evening, and tastings of Penedès and Catalan wines.
Barcelona's strength is the rare combination of a major city and genuine sailing on the doorstep. Port Olímpic sits in the city, not an hour away, so a programme can move from a meeting room to a regatta course in minutes. For teams that want both the energy of a city and a real day on the water, it is hard to beat.
