Weekly Bareboat Yacht Holiday from Roses with Village Stops and Relaxed Coastal Cruising
This 7-night bareboat charter from Port of Roses offers a rewarding southbound exploration of the Costa Brava with a route that combines elegant village stops, easy daily passages, cultural highlights, and generous time for swimming and relaxing on board. Sailing through Cadaqués, Port de la Selva, L’Escala, L’Estartit, and back through L’Escala and Roses before returning to base, the itinerary is ideal for guests who want a rounded Mediterranean holiday rather than a purely sailing-focused schedule. The result is a week that feels spacious and enjoyable - enough movement to create a sense of journey, yet enough time in each destination to absorb its atmosphere. For licensed sailors traveling with family or friends, it is a very appealing format for discovering Catalonia’s coastline from the sea.
About Our Service in Roses, L’Escala and L’Estartit
Your charter begins on Saturday at 17:00 in Port of Roses, where embarkation is supported by marina facilities that make boarding and preparation straightforward. The yacht is delivered ready for week-long cruising, and the route itself is highly suitable for guests who appreciate a balance between scenic navigation and enjoyable time ashore. Open-water stretches are paired with sheltered areas, and daily plans can always be refined around weather, preferred swim stops, or the pace your group wants to maintain. This flexibility is central to the experience, because the Costa Brava is best enjoyed when there is room to pause in a cove, extend lunch onboard, or spend extra time in a town that captures your interest.
Day 1 - Saturday: Port of Roses to Cadaqués
The opening sail leads to Cadaqués, where the visual charm of the village makes a strong first impression. White façades, narrow lanes, artistic associations, and a welcoming waterfront create a classic Mediterranean arrival. The first evening can be as active or as relaxed as you choose - from visiting the village and enjoying a meal ashore to staying aboard with drinks in the cockpit as the light fades over the bay.
Day 2 - Sunday: Cadaqués to Port de la Selva
Sailing onward to Port de la Selva introduces a quieter, more understated atmosphere. Surrounded by the landscapes of Cap de Creus, it offers a blend of coastal calm and local authenticity. Guests may combine swimming and paddleboarding with cultural exploration, particularly if they wish to venture toward Sant Pere de Rodes. This stage helps establish the charter’s rhythm: easy sailing, rewarding arrivals, and enough flexibility to shape each day around mood and weather.
Day 3 - Monday: Port de la Selva to L’Escala
The route then turns south toward L’Escala, adding broader beaches, lively local character, and strong gastronomic appeal. Time here can include seafood dining, beach walks, or a visit to the Empúries archaeological site, which gives the charter an added historical dimension. Arriving by yacht adds a sense of contrast and privilege to the experience, turning a cultural stop into part of a larger coastal narrative.
Day 4 - Tuesday: L’Escala to L’Estartit
A shorter leg carries you to L’Estartit, where a vibrant marina scene and proximity to excellent swimming waters create a more animated mood. Guests can spend time ashore, browse local shops, enjoy watersports, or keep the day simple with a long swim and a slow evening meal. This stop offers a lively interlude within a week that otherwise emphasizes relaxed cruising and scenic appreciation.
Day 5 - Wednesday: L’Estartit back to L’Escala
By returning to L’Escala, the itinerary gains a pleasant sense of continuity. The sail back can include stops for snorkeling or a lunch break in a coastal cove, and once ashore there is another opportunity to explore markets, revisit local restaurants, or enjoy a quieter evening on board. Repeating the town works especially well here because it lets guests experience it once as an arrival point and again as a place to settle into more fully.
Day 6 - Thursday: L’Escala to Roses
The passage back toward Roses becomes one of the week’s most scenic cruising days, with time to appreciate the changing shoreline and pause for swimming where conditions allow. Once back in Roses, guests can enjoy the promenade, historical points of interest, local cafés, or a comfortable marina evening that reconnects practical convenience with a pleasant holiday atmosphere.
Day 7 - Friday: Roses to Port of Roses
The final short sail closes the journey gently. There is time for a final paddleboard session, a swim along the coast, or relaxed hours ashore exploring shops and waterfront views before spending the last evening celebrating the charter. Because the itinerary avoids overly long final passages, it preserves a calm and satisfying finish.
Day 8 - Saturday: Disembarkation
After breakfast, guests check out at 09:00 and leave with memories of a week that has combined independent sailing, welcoming harbors, water activities, cultural interest, and the distinct scenery of the Costa Brava.
