Boat hire in Sitges

Sitges is the rental harbour of choice south of Barcelona: 23 companies against 9 in Vilanova i la Geltrú, 7 km away, or 16 in Castelldefels, 15 km away, and under 40 minutes from the city by train. Almost everything leaves from Port d'Aiguadolç, at the eastern end of the promenade, with 19 companies within 500 m; the little harbour of Garraf, under the massif, has two more. From Aiguadolç you head for the beaches and coves of the Garraf, for Vilanova, or for Barcelona harbour, about 20 miles away.

Eight companies advertise sailing boats and five no-licence boats; three offer skippered hire. The useful season runs from May to September. In summer the garbí breeze comes in at midday and builds through the afternoon, so small boats should go out in the morning. There are scheduled boat trips too, for those who prefer to be passengers.

Indicative high-season prices from the directory's reference table, reviewed September 2026: a no-licence motorboat costs €120–250 a day; a RIB of 6–8 m, €250–650; a 10–12 m sailing yacht, €400–900 bareboat or €600–1,500 skippered; a catamaran, €1,000–2,500; a skippered motor yacht, from €900. Expect 20–40% less outside July and August. Deposits run from €300 to €2,000 and fuel is extra. Each company sets its own prices.
