About Our Service in Port of Roses and along Costa Brava
This weekly bareboat charter has been designed around flexibility, coastal beauty, and enjoyable sailing distances, allowing guests to experience the Costa Brava at a comfortable pace. Because the yacht departs from Port of Roses, you begin in an ideal location for exploring the northern stretches of this remarkable coastline, including whitewashed seaside villages, protected natural landscapes, and inviting coves with clear Mediterranean water. With bareboat freedom, licensed sailors can adapt each day according to weather conditions, sea state, and personal preferences, while still following a well-structured route that offers both variety and ease.
Day 1 - Saturday: Embarkation at Port of Roses and sail to Cadaqués
Boarding begins at 17:00 at Port of Roses, where you will have time to complete check-in, settle into your accommodation, organize provisions, and become familiar with the yacht’s equipment and layout. Once ready, your charter begins with a short and scenic sail to Cadaqués, one of the Costa Brava’s most iconic villages. The approach by sea is especially rewarding, with the town’s whitewashed buildings and surrounding hills creating an unmistakably Mediterranean arrival. Once moored or anchored for the night, you can step ashore for an evening walk through narrow cobbled streets, enjoy fresh seafood in a waterfront restaurant, or simply stay onboard and absorb the peaceful atmosphere of your first night at sea.
Day 2 - Sunday: Cadaqués, Cap de Creus and Port de la Selva
After a relaxed breakfast, depart for a leisurely cruise toward Cap de Creus, a dramatic natural park known for its wild rock formations, isolated coves, and crystal-clear waters. This stretch is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying the striking contrast between rugged cliffs and deep blue sea. After time at anchor, continue to Port de la Selva, a tranquil coastal village with an authentic local character. The marina and surrounding shoreline offer a quieter side of the Costa Brava, making it a wonderful place to slow down. Spend the evening enjoying Catalan cuisine, strolling along the waterfront, or simply relaxing onboard in a calm and sheltered setting.
Day 3 - Monday: Return to Cadaqués
Today’s sailing leg brings you back toward Cadaqués, allowing you to experience the village more fully than a short stop would allow. This return visit creates time for local exploration beyond the waterfront, whether that means browsing small galleries, enjoying a coffee in a shaded square, visiting nearby beaches, or heading toward the scenic surroundings that inspired artists for generations. The beauty of this itinerary lies in its rhythm - rather than rushing, it allows you to appreciate each destination properly. An overnight stop here also gives you another chance to enjoy the village’s atmosphere after day visitors have departed.
Day 4 - Tuesday: Roses Bay anchorage
Leave Cadaqués later in the morning and enjoy an easy passage back toward the sheltered waters of Roses Bay. This is a day designed for pure relaxation and onboard living. The bay provides an excellent setting for swimming, paddleboarding, sunbathing, and enjoying the generous deck space of the catamaran. Prepare lunch in the galley, play music through the onboard sound system, and enjoy the comfort that only a spacious multihull can provide when anchored in calm water. With minimal sailing pressure and plenty of room to unwind, this is the kind of day guests often remember most fondly.
Day 5 - Wednesday: Sail to L’Escala
Set course south for L’Escala, a destination known for its beaches, maritime heritage, and traditional Catalan character. The sailing leg remains manageable, preserving the relaxed feel of the itinerary while still giving you the pleasure of a longer coastal cruise. Upon arrival, guests can explore the promenade, discover the town’s well-known anchovy tradition, enjoy local tapas, or simply spend time on the beach. L’Escala offers a different atmosphere from the northern villages, adding more variety to the week while maintaining the charm that defines the Costa Brava.
Day 6 - Thursday: L’Estartit and coastal exploration
Today takes you to L’Estartit, a lively coastal town with a marina atmosphere and excellent access to beautiful nearby waters. It is a rewarding stop for guests who enjoy active days, as the area is well suited to dinghy rides, swimming, snorkeling, and relaxed exploration of the coastline. You may choose to spend more time ashore, enjoy the local cafés and restaurants, or remain onboard and use the yacht as your private floating terrace over the Mediterranean. The short sailing distance means there is ample time to enjoy the destination instead of merely passing through it.
Day 7 - Friday: Return to Port of Roses
Begin your return journey back to Port of Roses, allowing enough time for a comfortable final sail and an easy arrival by evening. Once back at base, this final night is ideal for a celebratory dinner ashore or a quiet last evening onboard reflecting on the week’s highlights. It is also a practical time to refuel if needed, organize luggage, and enjoy the convenience of ending the charter in a marina with strong facilities and easy access.
Day 8 - Saturday: Disembarkation
After breakfast, disembarkation takes place at 09:00. By the end of the week, you leave with far more than a sailing log - you take with you memories of hidden anchorages, village evenings, clear-water swims, and the unmistakable coastal beauty of Costa Brava experienced from your own yacht.
About Our Yacht - Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 catamaran
This 2011 Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 is a practical and highly enjoyable catamaran for a weekly charter, especially for guests who value space, stability, and comfortable onboard living. With a 6.70 m beam, the yacht offers the generous proportions that make catamarans so appealing for families and groups. Accommodation includes 4 double cabins and 2 single cabins, allowing a recommended occupancy of 10 guests with a maximum capacity of 12. This layout makes the yacht especially attractive for mixed groups who want both communal areas and sleeping flexibility during a one-week itinerary.
The yacht’s two bathrooms are fully fitted with shower and sink, and the interior is supported by a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, oven, and hot water, giving guests everything needed for proper onboard meals throughout the week. On deck, the large solarium and comfortable aft cockpit create natural gathering areas for breakfasts in port, afternoon drinks at anchor, and relaxed evenings after sailing. In practical terms, the boat is also well prepared for coastal navigation, with autopilot, GPS plotter, VHF, wind instruments, solar panels, electric anchor windlass, battery charger, and power inverter. Twin 30 hp Volvo engines improve maneuverability in marinas and sheltered anchorages, while the dinghy makes short transfers and local exploration easier. Interior and exterior speakers, together with a comfortable living layout, complete the atmosphere for a sociable and enjoyable cruising holiday.
Why This Costa Brava Charter Stands Out
This charter stands out because it combines exactly what many guests want from a Mediterranean sailing holiday without forcing them into a rushed or overly ambitious route. The distances are enjoyable rather than exhausting, the destinations are varied without becoming repetitive, and the catamaran itself offers the comfort needed to truly appreciate life on board for a full week. Starting from Port of Roses gives direct access to some of the most rewarding sailing grounds on the Costa Brava, while the route blends artistic villages, protected headlands, relaxed bays, and lively coastal towns into one well-rounded experience. For guests comparing options in the region, this charter offers a particularly strong balance of independence, comfort, scenery, and value. It is the kind of sailing holiday that feels both easy and enriching - ideal for those who want freedom, beautiful surroundings, and a yacht that genuinely supports the pleasure of spending a full week at sea.
