Costa Brava yacht charter itineraries: day trips to full weeks

Most yacht charter routes from Palamós fall into two broad patterns: a single-day outing back by evening, or a multi-day charter overnighting at anchor or in marinas along the coast. If you're weighing Costa Brava sailing itinerary ideas, the choice usually comes down to how many days you have and how far north you want to sail — Medes Islands and Cap de Creus both work well as day trips or as legs within a longer week.

Fuel, marina fees and on-board catering are handled through the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) or agreed directly with the crew before departure, so the quoted charter rate covers the yacht and skipper only. A hostess or cook joins for weekly charters when the itinerary calls for it, and the exact vessel — sailing yacht, catamaran or motor yacht between 12 and 20 metres — is confirmed once the route and dates are set.

The itineraries below are starting points rather than fixed packages. Stops at the Medes Islands, Cap de Creus, Cadaqués or the coves of Begur can be combined, reordered or extended once you tell us how many days you have and how many guests are aboard; the final route and yacht are confirmed at the time of booking.

Extending to Barcelona

Multi-day charters can be extended south to Barcelona for guests who want to end the week in the city rather than back in Palamós; this adds sailing time and is planned into the itinerary from the outset.
