SOUTHERN CROSS, Barcelona

The yacht is docked at the private Reial Club Nàutic, giving direct access to Barcelona's port waterfront. Las Ramblas, Plaça Reial (13 min walk), the Columbus Monument, and the Barcelona Aquarium are all within a few minutes on foot. Barceloneta beach is 2 km away, and the Picasso Museum is an 18-minute walk. Barcelona El Prat Airport is 14 km away - reachable by metro (Barceloneta station, 5 min walk) or taxi (approx. 30 min). The location is central, walkable, and well-served by metro, bus, and hop-on-hop-off tour stops right outside the marina gate. The surrounding Maremagnum area offers numerous restaurants, cafés, and shops within a 5- to 10-minute walk.

Southern Cross offers three double cabins and two single cabins, each sleeping up to two people. Cabins are compact - the single cabins in particular are small - and feature classic nautical décor with mahogany wood, a wardrobe, and a small work desk. All cabins include air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, soundproofed walls, and a private bathroom with shower, bathrobes, and free toiletries. Sea views, a seating area, and a carpeted floor are standard. Some cabins are next to the engine room or kitchen, which can result in early-morning noise from equipment or maintenance. Cabins facing the side of the yacht may experience creaking from ropes on the marina at night. Balconies are not available. The bed is comfortable, and the gentle rocking of the boat can aid sleep, but guests sensitive to motion or cramped spaces should consider the compact dimensions before booking.

Breakfast is offered at an additional charge of 12 EUR per person (or included in select rates). The buffet typically includes boiled eggs, toast, cheese, sliced meats, jam, yogurt, fresh pastries, packaged croissants, juice, and a Nespresso coffee machine. Lactose-free milk is available on request. The breakfast setting is communal - guests sit together in the yacht's indoor lounge or on the outdoor deck, creating a social, homely atmosphere. The on-site coffee shop, snack bar, and picnic area provide additional light options throughout the day. For fuller meals, the surrounding Maremagnum complex and port area have many restaurants within a 5- to 10-minute walk, offering Spanish, international, and seafood cuisine.

The yacht features a free solarium on the deck and a sun terrace with outdoor furniture and a picnic area, ideal for sunbathing, reading, or enjoying the marina atmosphere. The on-board bar and lounge provide indoor leisure space. There is no swimming pool, spa, gym, or hot tub. Sunset sailing cruises are offered on some Fridays and weekends (free for hotel guests when running), providing a unique way to see the Barcelona coastline from the water. Schedules vary and depend on charter availability, so it is best to confirm directly with the crew on arrival.
