Princess Y80

Onboard the Princess Y80

At 25 metres, the Princess Y80 sits at the more approachable end of the superyacht bracket without feeling like a compromise. Five cabins give the boat real weight for a vessel this size, laid out to sleep 12 guests across a mix of configurations rather than squeezing everyone into a handful of suites. It reads as a yacht built for people who want proper separation between social space and private space, not just a larger version of a day boat.

From Port Olímpic, the Y80's size makes it workable for both a single day out and a longer stay aboard. A run down to Sitges — roughly 35 kilometres south, with the option to anchor off the bay or continue into Vilanova — suits the yacht's cabin count well if some of the party wants to swim and lunch ashore while others prefer to stay on board. The same layout also holds up for a slower, multi-night pattern along the coast, where five cabins mean guests aren't reshuffling each evening depending on who's still aboard.

It's a sensible choice for a group or extended family that has outgrown a standard motor yacht but doesn't need the scale or crew complexity of a much larger superyacht — enough cabins for multiple couples or a family with adult children, and enough length to handle Barcelona's harbour traffic and open-water stretches without feeling stretched. Departure logistics from Port Olímpic, and whether the plan is a single Sitges day or a longer coastal itinerary, are worth settling early, since that shapes provisioning and fuel planning for the charter.
