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. The catering is designed 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 on a plate

A meal made only for your table.

No set menu, no fixed sittings. Every detail of the food is shaped around your group, your tastes and your occasion.

Bespoke Catering

Your menu is prepared fresh for the evening by our catering partner and served on board, course by course. No buffet trays, no set menu — food chosen for your table alone.

A Tailored Menu

Tell us what you love — Mediterranean seafood, a celebration feast, something light and elegant. We design the menu with you, around any dietary needs.

Wine & Pairings

Spanish cava to start, wines chosen to match each course, or a signature cocktail on deck as you set sail. The drinks are part of the design, not an afterthought.

Served on Deck

The table is set on the open deck, the skyline as your backdrop, the light changing as you eat. Dinner becomes a place as much as a meal.

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. Each course is served 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 catered dinner on a yacht in Barcelona turns an ordinary evening into something close to perfect.

Moments

The dinner you'll keep talking about.

Three minutes on board, filmed by Captain Laurence: a Mediterranean dinner as the sun goes down, Spanish tapas on deck and a fully vegan menu at sea.

An incredible four-course dinner served while we sailed past the city at sunset. We've eaten in great restaurants — nothing has come close to this.
