Who will enjoy a Costa Brava yacht charter?
The Costa Brava is a good choice for crews who want a sailing holiday with plenty of variety but without the need for long passages. Days can combine a few hours under sail with swimming in a quiet cove, lunch ashore and an evening in a waterfront town.
This destination also works particularly well for travellers who want to combine sailing with a wider holiday in Catalonia. Barcelona provides a natural entry point to the region, while the coast itself offers a mix of natural scenery, beaches, historic settlements and excellent Catalan food.
Costa Brava is not one of the Mediterranean's largest charter regions, but for the right crew that's part of its appeal: it's a compact cruising ground where the emphasis can stay firmly on enjoying the journey.
