Riva 56 Rivale
Seventeen metres, ten guests, one fast run to Sitges
- 17m
- 10 guests
- 2 cabins
Private yacht rental with a fleet that runs from compact day boats to superyachts, so a Sitges swim stop, a sunset on the bay or a longer coastal cruise starts with a vessel that fits the plan.
Barcelona, Spain



Barcelona is one of the busiest ports in the Mediterranean, so a luxury yacht charter here starts in a harbour shared with ferries and commercial shipping, not an empty bay. Entry and exit are normally best left to the skipper. Port Olímpic is the busiest charter marina, with a fuel dock on the outer mole plus a restaurant and provisioning inside the port. Port Vell, the historic marina, has very limited berths. It mostly suits smaller vessels and tender drop-off.
Outside the breakwaters, the Baie de Barceloneta is an open roadstead with limited shelter and ferry swell, so anchoring there calls for realistic expectations. Sitges bay is more sheltered in northerlies. From June to September, N–NE breezes build in the afternoon, which suits sailing yachts, while the bay is flat in the morning. October brings warm sea and fewer boats. Demand for yacht rental in Barcelona rises sharply in February, when Mobile World Congress fills the corporate calendar.

Read →Sitges by sea in one day is a 5–7 hour charter from Barcelona built around swimming, a seafront lunch and a fuel-efficient APA. See how the day is paced, where to anchor and what to plan before you book.
Read →Our luxury yacht rental selection runs from compact day boats and catamarans to sport yachts and superyachts, so very different group sizes and occasions can be matched within a single brokerage.
Yacht hire starts from a single day, so a celebration, business occasion or short coastal escape does not call for a long commitment. Longer charters can be arranged around the same vessel.
We help clients find a yacht that suits the purpose, whether a private coastal escape, a celebration or a corporate occasion, rather than leaving them to sift through a catalogue alone.
Routes along the Catalan coast, including Sitges and the Costa Brava, are shaped by the vessel and the length of the charter, with attention to the practical details of Mediterranean cruising.
Yachts are shown with builder, length and guest capacity, for example the Riva 86 Domino at 26 m for 11 guests or the Invictus 460 at 14.4 m for 12, so groups can compare quickly.
A quick read of what most charter clients ask before booking.
The price depends on the yacht, the length of the charter and the season, so there is no single day rate. The fleet spans 13 m to 32 m. Fuel and provisioning also vary by route, since a short Sitges run needs a much smaller budget than a Balearics passage. Ask for a quote that itemises what it covers.
The 15 yachts range from compact day boats to superyachts and include sport yachts, motor yachts and catamarans, from 13 m to 32 m. Examples are the 13 m Wally 45, the 17 m Riva 56 Rivale and the 32 m Majesty 100. Share your plans and a broker can suggest a suitable vessel.
Capacity is set vessel by vessel, and length is not a reliable guide. The 13 m Wally 45 is listed for 10 guests and the 14.4 m Invictus 460 for 12, while the 23.9 m Sunreef 80 is listed for 8. Overnight sleeping capacity is a separate figure, so confirm both for multi-day plans.
From June to September, afternoon N–NE breezes suit sailing and the bay is flat in the morning. October offers a warm sea, fewer boats and good Sitges and Balearics conditions. November to April is low season, with only occasional mild day charters. In February, corporate demand rises around Mobile World Congress.
Availability depends on the yacht and the dates, and no fixed booking window applies. Private charters start from one day. To hire a yacht at short notice, send your dates, guest numbers and preferred departure so options can be checked. Dates around Mobile World Congress in February are worth securing early.
Requirements depend on the vessel and on whether you charter with a professional skipper and crew or take the helm yourself, so confirm this for your chosen yacht before booking. Barcelona's harbour approaches carry heavy commercial and ferry traffic, which is why guests are briefed that the skipper handles entry and exit.
