A table for the few, with a view for the ages.
Private Dining at Sea
A private chef, a menu built around you, and the Barcelona skyline as your dining room. Cast off from Marina Vela and dine on deck as the city lights come on — an intimate evening at sea for up to 11 guests, designed entirely around your table.
Dining at sea
The best table in Barcelona isn't in Barcelona.
The city has remarkable restaurants. None of them float. None of them push away from the dock as you sit down, drift along the coast as you eat, and serve dessert beneath a sky turning from gold to deep blue.
A private dining experience at sea turns dinner into the whole evening. A chef cooks for your table alone, the Barcelona skyline glides past your glass, and there's no next sitting, no other diners, no rush. Just your people, a beautiful menu, and the Mediterranean — the most memorable meal of your trip, by some distance.
The experience
An evening that begins the moment you cast off.
You arrive at Marina Vela to a glass of chilled cava and a table already set on deck. Lines are slipped, the engine settles to a hum, and Barcelona begins to slide past — the Port Olímpic, the long sweep of Barceloneta, the hills beyond catching the last of the sun.
Then the food starts to arrive. Your chef sends out each course in its own time, plated and explained, while you sit back with the people who matter and watch the city light up. A private dining experience at sea isn't a meal squeezed between activities — it is the activity, unfolding slowly over two or three unhurried hours.
Because the whole yacht is yours, the evening moves at your pace. Linger over each course. Pause between plates for a swim or a moment at the bow. Toast whatever you came to celebrate. With up to 11 guests aboard, it's intimate enough that every person is part of the same conversation.
Whether it's an anniversary, a proposal, a milestone birthday or simply the dinner you'll talk about for years, a private chef on a yacht in Barcelona turns an ordinary evening into something close to perfect.
Perfect for
When the occasion deserves more than a restaurant.
Anniversaries
Mark the years with a dinner you'll both remember — cava at sunset, your favourite dishes, and the city glittering as you toast.
Proposals
Pop the question over dessert as the sun goes down. We'll quietly handle the timing, the champagne and the moment — you handle the ring.
Milestone Birthdays
A landmark birthday calls for something beyond a booking. Gather your closest people for a private feast on the water.
Intimate & Corporate Dinners
A small family celebration, or impressing key clients without a boardroom in sight. An evening that does the talking for you.
The setting
A 52-foot yacht that becomes your dining room.
Sphynx is a Comar Comet 52 — an elegant Italian sailing yacht with a wide, open deck that seats your whole party comfortably. There's room to dine, space to relax between courses, and three cabins and two bathrooms below should you want them. For the evening, the entire yacht belongs to your table alone.
Moments
The dinner you'll keep talking about.
The chef cooked an incredible four-course dinner while we sailed past the city at sunset. We've eaten in great restaurants — nothing has come close to this.
