Falcon 80S

Onboard the Falcon 80S

At 24 metres, the Falcon 80S sits comfortably in the mid-size range of the fleet: large enough for four cabins and a genuine overnight capability, compact enough to handle Port Olímpic's berths and the tighter turns of a coastal day run without fuss. Twelve guests is the working capacity, which in practice means groups can spread across saloon, deck and cabin space rather than feeling stacked on top of a single sundeck — useful for parties that want some separation during the day and shared space for meals or evening conversation.

From Port Olímpic, the Falcon 80S is well suited to the Sitges run — the 35-kilometre stretch south where the bay offers more shelter than Barcelona's open roadstead, and where a full day of anchoring, swimming and a lunch ashore fits inside a five- to seven-hour window. The same layout also holds up on a slower push north along the Costa Maresme, past Calella and Sant Pol, where the coast opens into quieter anchorages between headlands rather than the ferry and commercial traffic closer to the city. Either route, the captain manages the harbour entry and exit at Barcelona's busier approaches, which is not incidental given how much shipping and ferry movement passes through this stretch of coast.

This yacht suits guests who want the space and privacy of four cabins without committing to the scale or budget of a full superyacht — small families extending a Sitges day into an overnight, or a group of friends who want a base with real berths rather than a pure day boat. Because the fuel and provisioning needs of a short Sitges day differ from a longer coastal passage, it's worth setting the itinerary early so the APA and fuel allowance reflect the actual route rather than a generic estimate; provisioning for onboard meals is typically sourced through the city's markets before departure.
