M

Onboard the M

M is a 47-metre Sanlorenzo built to carry 12 guests across five cabins, a configuration that gives couples, families and small groups their own separate spaces rather than shared bunk-style arrangements common on smaller charter yachts. At this length, guests get the deck area and interior volume associated with the upper end of the crewed charter fleet, without the extra scale of the largest vessels based in Barcelona, making M a practical choice for groups who want superyacht standards without moving into the 55m-plus bracket.

Chartering from Port Olímpic, Barcelona's principal charter marina, M is suited both to a shorter run down the coast — Sitges lies roughly 35 km south, with its bay offering more shelter than the open roadstead directly off Barceloneta — and to longer passages such as the crossing toward Mallorca, roughly 200 nautical miles away and typically run as a two-day passage under crew. Barcelona's harbour approach carries steady commercial and ferry traffic, so departures and arrivals are handled by the captain, who will brief guests on timing around that traffic before setting the day's or the passage's route.

The five-cabin layout makes M a fit for extended families or small corporate groups planning several nights aboard rather than a single afternoon out, and the 12-guest capacity keeps it appropriately staffed for a full charter rather than a day-boat outing. For a Sitges day trip, provisioning and fuel needs are modest; for a Balearics passage, guests should plan for fuller provisioning and an APA that reflects the extra days and distance, points worth confirming with the broker before setting a firm date.
