Weekly Skippered Catamaran Charter from Roses Marina, Spain
This 7-night private charter from Port of Roses has been shaped for guests who want a fuller and more varied Costa Brava experience, blending iconic villages, dramatic natural landscapes, local culture, and a lively marina stop into one rewarding sailing week. It is the kind of itinerary that appeals not only to guests who enjoy the beauty of being at sea, but also to those who want each day to bring a slightly different atmosphere ashore. Starting from a secure, well-equipped base in Roses, the charter combines scenic coastal passages with relaxed timings, making it ideal for families, couples traveling together, and groups of friends who want to enjoy the region without the pressure of long or exhausting daily runs.

About Our Service in Port of Roses, Cadaqués, Cap de Creus, Port de la Selva, Roses and Empuriabrava
Day 1 - Saturday begins with embarkation at Port of Roses at 17:00. Roses is a highly practical starting point, offering secure marina facilities, straightforward access, and good provisioning options before departure. Once guests have boarded and settled into the yacht, the skipper provides a safety briefing and orientation so everyone feels comfortable from the outset. The first sail leads to Cadaqués, with an arrival timed to capture the special atmosphere of the village in the late-day light. Its whitewashed houses, waterfront setting, and relaxed artistic identity make it an exceptional opening stop for the week. Guests can spend the evening strolling the harborfront, dining in a local restaurant, or simply enjoying the first quiet night onboard in one of the Costa Brava’s most admired settings.
On Day 2 - Sunday, the yacht departs Cadaqués around mid-morning for the short sail to Cap de Creus. This stage of the route introduces guests to one of the most visually dramatic coastal environments in the region. The cliffs become more rugged, the anchorages more secluded, and the water extraordinarily clear. The day is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and simply pausing in a protected cove where the natural surroundings feel far removed from busier resort areas. Guests who enjoy being active can combine water time with a short walk or viewpoint stop, while those seeking pure relaxation can remain onboard and enjoy a long lunch with uninterrupted scenery. Evening anchoring in this area is especially memorable, with quiet conditions ideal for stargazing and a dinner enjoyed under open skies.
Day 3 - Monday takes the yacht onward to Port de la Selva, extending the balance between nature and authentic village life. The sail itself remains comfortable and rewarding, and arrival brings a distinctly local atmosphere. Port de la Selva is a charming fishing village where guests can enjoy a slower pace, walk the marina, sample Catalan tapas, or arrange a visit toward the historic Sant Pere de Rodes monastery, which adds cultural depth to the day. Calm waters in the area also support paddleboarding and easy swimming, while the village setting creates a very different evening mood from the wild character of the previous night in Cap de Creus.
On Day 4 - Tuesday, the route returns to Cadaqués, but again the emphasis is on enjoying the destination more fully rather than simply repeating it. Guests can explore Salvador Dalí’s connection to the area through Portlligat, spend time on hidden beaches, cycle or walk coastal paths, or enjoy a more leisurely day divided between shore visits and relaxation onboard. The village reveals different details when visited twice: morning café life, the texture of the old streets, the light over the bay at sunset, and the simple pleasure of returning to a place that feels both elegant and welcoming.
Day 5 - Wednesday brings the yacht back to Roses. The passage can include scenic pauses in coves for swimming, turning the return leg into a proper day of leisure rather than a direct transit. Once ashore in Roses, guests can explore the Ciutadella, historic ruins, shops, cafés, and promenade, or use the stop for light provisioning and a comfortable evening before continuing. This is a practical day within the itinerary, but it still offers cultural interest and plenty of enjoyment along the waterfront.
On Day 6 - Thursday, the charter takes a short sail to Empuriabrava Marina, giving the week a fresh, livelier contrast. Known for its canal network and distinctive character, Empuriabrava feels different from the more traditional fishing villages and protected anchorages visited earlier in the route. Guests can walk the marina environment, enjoy optional watersports, or consider nature excursions toward Aiguamolls de l’Empordà Natural Park for birdwatching and landscape appreciation. The stop works especially well because it broadens the overall experience of the week, mixing elegant coastal villages and natural reserves with a more animated marina destination.
Day 7 - Friday returns the yacht to Port of Roses for the final day of the charter. Even at this stage, the itinerary leaves room for one last swim, one final paddleboard session, or an easy afternoon enjoying Roses town before a celebratory final evening onboard or ashore. There is time to absorb the week rather than abruptly end it, which adds to the premium feel of the experience. On Day 8 - Saturday, guests disembark at 09:00 after breakfast, taking with them memories of a charter that has combined nature, culture, sailing, and comfort in a particularly balanced way.
About Our Catamaran
The yacht used for this charter is a 2017 Bavaria Nautitech 46 Fly catamaran, chosen for its excellent suitability for week-long coastal holidays where social comfort and practical cruising ability matter equally. At 13.71 metres long with a 7.55-metre beam, the catamaran offers a broad, stable platform that creates a reassuring and spacious onboard environment. This is particularly valuable for groups who want the pleasure of sailing while also expecting enough room to dine, lounge, and move about easily during a multi-day charter.
The cabin arrangement includes 4 double cabins and 2 individual cabins, giving sleeping flexibility for up to 12 guests. This makes the yacht highly effective for groups with different room-sharing needs and helps create a more adaptable charter format than many smaller boats can offer. The 4 bathrooms and 2 showers add an important level of functionality, especially during active days that include swimming, beach visits, or watersports. For a week-long itinerary, that practical comfort is a meaningful part of the guest experience.
The flybridge is one of the defining spaces onboard. It provides elevated visibility while cruising and becomes a natural gathering point for enjoying the coastline, taking photographs, or sharing drinks at anchor. The outdoor lounge and dining area are equally important, allowing meals and conversation to remain connected to the sea and the scenery throughout the week. Inside, the yacht’s modern interior design supports extended stays with a well-equipped galley featuring a double refrigerator, oven, cooktop, and hot water system. Additional comforts include stereo entertainment, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, inverter support, solar-ready systems, dinghy davits, and a bathing platform for easy sea access.
In navigation and safety terms, the yacht is well prepared for coastal cruising, with autopilot, GPS, VHF, speed sensor, anemometer, and electric windlass all contributing to secure handling and route management. Twin 50hp Volvo engines support harbor maneuvering and offer reliable auxiliary power. Altogether, the yacht delivers not only the space expected of a quality catamaran, but also the practical equipment and layout needed to make a full week onboard enjoyable, comfortable, and highly functional.
Why Guests Choose This Costa Brava Charter
This charter is especially compelling because it delivers variety without losing coherence. Some Costa Brava itineraries focus too narrowly on either remote anchorages or town-based stops, but this route succeeds by bringing together the artistic elegance of Cadaqués, the dramatic landscape of Cap de Creus, the local authenticity of Port de la Selva, the historic appeal of Roses, and the lively marina character of Empuriabrava within one seamless week. The catamaran provides the space and comfort to enjoy all of it properly, while the included skipper ensures a stress-free experience shaped around enjoyment rather than logistics. For guests comparing private charter options in the region, this holiday stands out because it feels complete: scenic, sociable, relaxed, and rich in destination variety. It is the kind of itinerary that satisfies both the desire to explore and the desire to truly unwind, which is exactly why it remains such an appealing way to experience the Costa Brava.
