Bachelorette & Bachelor parties at sea in Barcelona

5.0 · 1,659 reviews · Google & Tripadvisor

The whole yacht for your group of up to eleven — a hen or stag party, a birthday, an anniversary. Cava already open, your playlist through the speakers and the engine off in a quiet cove when the city gets too hot. You decide how long it lasts.

Your celebration, not everyone else's

A celebration nobody has to shout over.

Barcelona has no shortage of places to celebrate. Almost all of them involve a queue, a minimum spend, a room full of people you did not invite and a playlist somebody else chose. A private yacht solves all four at once — and it photographs better than any of them.

01

The whole boat is yours

Up to eleven of you and nobody else on board. No shared party boat, no strangers in your photos, no waiting to get to the bar because the bar is right there and it is yours.

02

Everything is ready before you arrive

The cava is already cold, the speaker is already paired and the boat is ready. You walk down the pontoon and it is done — nobody is still organising a party in a hotel room at eight in the morning.

03

You set the pace

Sail out, drop anchor, swim, get back on deck, sail again. Nothing runs to somebody else's timetable, and Captain Laurence adjusts the route on the day to the wind, the sun and the mood on board.

Who books the whole boat

Not only bachelorettes.

It is the same private charter every time: the whole yacht, your group, your music, your timing. What changes is the reason you are on board — and we shape the day around that.

Bachelorette parties

A hen party where nobody queues, nobody shares the boat and the bride picks the playlist. The single most booked celebration on our calendar.

Bachelor parties

A stag do that does not end in a basement. Sail out, anchor, swim, open bar on deck and the whole boat to yourselves until you decide otherwise.

Birthdays

A birthday party on a boat in Barcelona, for eleven people who actually know each other. Works in April as well as August — the light in winter is better, and the marina is empty.

Anniversaries & family

Wedding anniversaries, a milestone worth marking, a family reunion that would not fit around a restaurant table. Quieter than the rest, and usually the longest charters we run.

Something else entirely? Tell us what you are celebrating when you write. The yacht, the crew and the open bar are the same either way — only the day changes shape.

Included as standard

Three things you don't have to organise.

Cava and open bar

Cava open the moment you board and an open bar for the rest of the charter. Soft drinks and water are always there too, because somebody has to remember the day.

Your playlist, your phone

A Bluetooth speaker on deck that one of you connects to. No house music, no DJ deciding what gets played on a day that belongs to your group.

A swim stop

We anchor away from the beach crowd so you can swim straight off the boat, in water that is nowhere near as busy as the shore. Conditions permitting, always.

There is no fixed package and no fixed length. Tell us the occasion, the date and how many of you there are and Captain Laurence builds the charter around that — an afternoon, a sunset, or the whole day.

From first message to last song

Four steps, and three of them are ours.

1

You send the occasion, the date and the number

One WhatsApp message with what you are celebrating, the day you have in mind and how many of you there will be. That is enough for Captain Laurence to tell you what is possible and send a quote back, usually within the hour.

2

We agree the shape of the day

How long you want to be out, whether it is an afternoon or a sunset, and anything we should know about the group. If you want decoration on board, catering or a photographer, this is when we add them.

3

Everything is ready before you walk down the pontoon

Cava cold, speaker on, deck ready, and anything you added already in place. You arrive at Marina Vela, Berth 80, step on board and the day starts — no setup, no carrying bags through Barceloneta.

4

The rest is yours

Sail out past the city, drop anchor somewhere quiet, swim, get back on deck, put the music up. Captain Laurence reads the day and moves the boat to wherever it works best — and stays out of your photos.

What the day actually looks like

The city on one side. Nobody on the other.

You board at Marina Vela, five minutes from Barceloneta, and the boat is ready for you. Within twenty minutes the marina is behind you, the sails are up and the only sound is the water and whatever somebody put on first.

Most groups looking for a bachelorette party in Barcelona — or a bachelor party, or somewhere to hold a birthday — end up choosing between a club with a minimum spend and a shared party boat where you are one of sixty. A private charter is neither: eleven of you, one crew, and a coastline that does not have a guest list.

Somewhere along the way we drop anchor away from the beach crowds. Some of you swim off the back of the boat, some stay on deck with a glass and refuse to move. Both are correct.

Then the light goes gold, the city skyline lights up behind you, and every photo taken in that half hour is the one that ends up on the wall. That is the part people book us for, whether it is a hen party, a stag do, a fortieth birthday or an anniversary nobody wanted to spend in a restaurant.

Optional

Ask about these when you write.

Decoration on board

Balloons, a sash, a banner with the names on it and a corner that works as a photo backdrop. Tell us the colours or the theme and we set it up before you arrive.

Professional photographer

The same photographer who shoots our proposals, on board with you. You get an edited gallery instead of forty blurry phone photos.

Catering on board

From a tapas spread to a full catered menu served on deck. Tell us allergies and preferences and we build it around them.

Premium bar upgrade

Champagne instead of cava, or a cocktail list made on board. Ask and we will tell you what we can pour on the day.

Extra hours

The most common upgrade of all. Groups almost never regret adding an hour; they regret not adding one. Decide when you book.

Transfer from your hotel

If the group is spread across the city, we can arrange a transfer to the marina so everyone arrives together and on time.

If the celebration is a wedding one, the same yacht also does ceremonies at sea and proposals.

Before you book

Everything else, answered.

There is no fixed package, so the price depends on the date, how long you want to be on the water and how many of you there are. The cava and open bar, the Bluetooth speaker and the swim stop are already included; decoration, catering and a photographer are extras. Send Captain Laurence the occasion, your date and your group size on WhatsApp and you will get a tailored quote back, usually within the hour.
No. The same private charter works just as well for a bachelor party, a birthday, a wedding anniversary or a family celebration. Tell us the occasion when you write and we shape the day around it — the yacht, the crew, the open bar and the swim stop are the same either way.
Up to 11 guests in total, and the whole yacht is yours. It is a private charter, so you are never sharing the boat with another group.
You choose. Some groups want a couple of hours around sunset, others take the boat for the whole afternoon with a long swim stop. Tell us roughly what you have in mind and we will tell you what works best for that date and the light.
Yes. Bring whatever you want on board and we will help you set it up before the group arrives. If you would rather not carry it, we can arrange the decoration for you as an extra. Cakes are fine. The only things we ask you to leave ashore are confetti, glitter and anything else that ends up in the sea.
Yes, and we would rather you did. There is a Bluetooth speaker on deck that one of you connects your phone to, so the playlist is entirely yours from the moment you board.
Yes. We anchor away from the busy beaches so you can swim straight off the boat, well away from the crowds on the shore. It always depends on the sea conditions on the day, and Captain Laurence has the final word on that.
Cava is open when you board and an open bar is included for the charter, along with soft drinks and water. If you want champagne instead of cava or a cocktail list on board, ask when you book and we will tell you what is possible for your date.
If conditions are not right, Captain Laurence contacts you in advance and moves the charter to another slot that works for the group. Nobody takes a celebration out in bad weather because a booking said so.
From Marina Vela, Berth 80 (Pg. de Joan de Borbo 103, Barcelona), a five-minute walk from Barceloneta and easy to reach by taxi or metro. Come fifteen minutes early so boarding is relaxed rather than rushed.
Everything is arranged over WhatsApp with Captain Laurence, in English, Spanish or French. You confirm the date from wherever you are, and the group only has to turn up at the marina on the day. Book early for June to September, when the good sunset slots go first.

Thirty seconds on board

This is what the day looks like.

Send Captain Laurence the occasion, the date and how many of you there are. He comes back with the sunset time, what is possible that day and a quote — cava, open bar and the swim stop already in it.
