1-Week Private Catamaran Holiday from Roses with Skipper Included
This 7-night charter from Port of Roses is tailored for guests who appreciate a gentler opening to their sailing week and a route shaped around beautiful natural scenery, iconic villages, and comfortable daily cruising. Instead of beginning with an immediate long passage, the itinerary eases guests into life onboard with a short first-evening sail, making it especially attractive for families, mixed-age groups, and travelers who want the transition from land to sea to feel calm and enjoyable. From there, the week develops through the most appealing parts of northern Costa Brava, including the artistic charm of Cadaqués, the authentic atmosphere of Port de la Selva, and the rugged drama of Cap de Creus. With a professional skipper included throughout, the holiday remains private and flexible while benefiting from expert local navigation and safety support.
About Our Service in Port of Roses, Roses Bay, Cadaqués, Port de la Selva and Cap de Creus
Day 1 - Saturday begins with embarkation at Port of Roses from 17:00. Guests arrive at a well-equipped and secure marina, board the catamaran, settle into their cabins, and receive a complete orientation from the skipper. Rather than pushing immediately into a longer sailing leg, the itinerary offers a short scenic cruise into Roses Bay, which creates a much softer and more elegant start to the week. This first evening is about arriving properly - enjoying the calm waters, taking a first swim if desired, relaxing on deck as the sun lowers over the bay, and beginning to appreciate the comfort of the yacht without any rush. It is a small detail in the planning, but one that makes the entire charter feel more thoughtful and premium from the outset.
On Day 2 - Sunday, the route continues to Cadaqués, one of the Costa Brava’s most admired villages. The sail along the coastline is scenic and rewarding, with the approach by water offering the best possible introduction to the village’s whitewashed appearance and artistic heritage. Once there, guests can wander cobbled streets, enjoy waterfront cafés, visit Portlligat and the Dalí connection, or simply divide their time between strolling ashore and relaxing onboard. The evening anchorage here is particularly atmospheric, making dinner onboard or in a local restaurant equally appealing.
Day 3 - Monday takes the yacht onward to Port de la Selva, a stop that introduces a quieter and more authentic tone to the week. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Cap de Creus, this fishing village is ideal for guests who enjoy places that still feel genuinely local. The day can include swimming and snorkeling in clear water, paddleboarding in calmer sections of the coast, or a cultural excursion toward the historic Sant Pere de Rodes monastery. The overnight stay here creates a contrast with Cadaqués - less polished, more understated, and very appealing for that reason.
On Day 4 - Tuesday, the charter reaches one of its major scenic highlights with a sail to Cap de Creus. This protected natural area is defined by rugged cliffs, wind-shaped landscapes, hidden coves, and strikingly clear water. It is the kind of place that reminds guests why a yacht charter offers access that land-based travel simply cannot match. The day is ideal for snorkeling, kayaking, swimming directly from the yacht, and even short walks or viewpoint stops if conditions allow. The anchorage experience here is unforgettable, especially in the evening when the coastline becomes quiet and the sky opens overhead for stargazing.
Day 5 - Wednesday returns to Cadaqués, but this second stop gives the village new depth. Guests who only scratched the surface during the earlier visit now have time to enjoy its galleries, hidden coves, local boutiques, and scenic lanes more fully. Others may prefer to use the day as a balance of shore time and yacht time, enjoying the flybridge, the lounge spaces, and the simple pleasure of dining in a beautiful bay without any need to hurry. Repeating a destination in this way makes the holiday feel richer rather than repetitive, because it allows a more complete connection with the place.
On Day 6 - Thursday, the yacht returns toward Roses, with the passage shaped by scenic coastal views and optional cove stops for swimming along the way. Once in Roses, guests can explore the Ciutadella, browse town cafés, enjoy a more cultural afternoon, or stay aboard and treat the anchorage as another day of pure relaxation. The stop combines practical convenience with genuine destination value, which is why Roses works so well not just as a marina base, but also as part of the charter experience itself.
Day 7 - Friday completes the week with the final return to Port of Roses. There is still time for one last swim, a paddleboard session, or a final walk through town before the last evening onboard. Rather than ending abruptly, the itinerary leaves enough space for guests to enjoy the closing hours of the holiday properly, whether that means a final dinner ashore, sunset drinks on the flybridge, or simply a relaxed night reflecting on the week’s highlights. On Day 8 - Saturday, disembarkation takes place at 09:00 after breakfast.
About Our Catamaran
The yacht assigned to this charter is a 2017 Bavaria Nautitech 46 Fly catamaran, a highly suitable platform for weekly coastal cruising where guest comfort, social space, and practical functionality all matter. Measuring 13.71 metres in length and 7.55 metres in beam, the yacht offers the width and stability that make catamarans so appealing for relaxed Mediterranean holidays. The sense of space onboard is immediately noticeable, particularly for groups who want room to gather, dine, and sunbathe without feeling restricted.
The accommodation layout includes 4 double cabins and 2 individual cabins, allowing the yacht to host up to 12 guests. This flexibility makes it well suited to both family groups and friendship groups with different sleeping arrangements. The 4 bathrooms and 2 showers are an important part of the yacht’s comfort profile, ensuring the onboard experience remains practical and smooth over a full week of sailing, swimming, and life at anchor. These are the details that allow the yacht to function as a genuine floating villa rather than simply a means of transport.
The flybridge is one of the yacht’s most appealing features, offering elevated coastal views and creating a wonderful space for daytime lounging or quiet evening drinks. The outdoor dining area and lounge encourage sociable living throughout the week, while the bathing platform makes sea access easy during swimming and snorkeling stops. The interior design is modern and comfortable, supported by a well-equipped galley with double refrigerator, oven, cooktop, and hot water system. Additional amenities include stereo entertainment, USB and Bluetooth, inverter, solar-ready systems, and dinghy davits, all of which contribute to an easier and more enjoyable onboard lifestyle.
Navigation and handling are supported by autopilot, GPS, VHF, speed sensor, anemometer, and electric windlass, alongside twin 50hp Volvo engines. Altogether, this is a catamaran that offers not only strong visual appeal and comfort, but also the reliable practical capability needed for a varied Costa Brava route involving marinas, bays, anchorages, and natural park cruising.
A More Thoughtful Way to Experience Costa Brava
This charter stands out because it is not built around rushing from stop to stop. It has been planned to feel more natural, more enjoyable, and more rewarding, beginning with a calm first evening in Roses Bay and progressing through destinations that reveal the beauty, culture, and landscape diversity of the northern Costa Brava. Guests enjoy the privacy of their own catamaran, the comfort of generous onboard living space, and the support of a professional skipper who makes the whole week feel seamless. Compared with more generic charter options, this itinerary offers a stronger balance of scenic anchorages, village charm, natural reserve cruising, and relaxed pacing. For guests looking for a sailing holiday that feels personal, polished, and genuinely memorable, this is exactly the kind of Costa Brava week worth booking.
