There is a Sitges that can only be seen from the sea, at night. The towers of the church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla, the promenade dotted with lights, the port restaurants with their activity, and the dark Mediterranean sky reflecting on the water. It is an image that is hard to describe and that can only be understood when you live it.
It’s your boat, your night and your rhythm. You leave when you want, sail at your own speed and return when the night asks you to. No marked circuit, no other groups on board, no imposed return time. Just you and the Mediterranean at night.
To sail at night with total tranquility, the presence of a skipper is essential. The sailboat with skipper at night allows you to enjoy the experience without worrying about anything but the moment. If you are a larger group, the catamaran with night skipper offers more space and the possibility of turning the trip into a small celebration under the stars.
Boats for the Night Tour
Night sailing requires experience and equipment. Our skippered boats are the safest and most enjoyable option.
Why the Night Tour is So Special
There are dimensions of Sitges that are only discovered when the sun goes down.
The illuminated town seen from the water is a perspective that very few people have had. An image that remains engraved in the memory.
Without the light pollution of the city and with the horizon open, the night sky over the Mediterranean is spectacular.
Play your music, toast with whatever you want and enjoy the night your way. No crowded bars or crowded terraces.
Our skippers know perfectly the coast of Sitges at night. All navigation is done with the regulatory safety equipment.
What to Expect on a Night Boat Trip
The usual departure is from 21:00 hours in summer, when darkness has already fallen over the bay. The skipper or captain will be waiting for you at the dock of Aiguadolç Port and will set sail as soon as you are ready. The usual route skirts the bay of Sitges, passing in front of the illuminated old town, the church and the promenade, before moving a little further out into open water where the horizon of lights becomes a 180-degree panorama.
Duration and format
The most common is to hire between 2 and 3 hours for the night tour. It is enough to enjoy the nightlife, sail quietly and return to port in time for dinner. You can also combine it with a dinner on board if you want to make the evening a complete plan: dinner while sailing is an experience hard to beat.
For couples
The night walk is one of the most romantic plans that exist in Sitges. If you are looking for something special to celebrate an anniversary, a marriage proposal or just to surprise your partner, this is the plan. You can combine it with the romantic boat ride for a completely personalized experience designed for both of you.
For groups and celebrations
The night catamaran with music and drinks is a different alternative to the usual bars and discos. You can play your own music, bring whatever you want to drink and enjoy a private night at sea. If it’s for a bachelor or bachelorette party, the night cruise adds a special dimension that land-based plans hardly match.
Prices night trip: licensed boats from 100 € / hour. Sailboat with skipper from 150 € / hour. The night outings are usually 2-3 hours. Check availability and schedules for your date.
Questions about the Night Tour
Is it safe to sail at night?
Yes, with the right skipper and the right equipment, sailing at night is completely safe. All our boats have regulation navigation lights and our skippers have extensive experience in night sailing along the coast of Sitges. For night trips we always recommend to hire the boat with skipper included.
What can you see from the ship at night?
Sitges illuminated offers a completely different perspective from the sea: the silhouette of the church, the promenade, the Port of Aiguadolç with its boats and the lights of the urbanizations along the coast. When you move a little away from the coast, the starry sky of the Mediterranean is spectacular. On nights with a full moon, the reflection on the water is of unusual beauty.
Is it possible to organize a night party on board?
Yes, although with nuances. You can play music, bring drinks and celebrate whatever you want on board. What we can not guarantee is the maximum volume of music as we have to respect the maritime regulations and the environment. If you are looking for something more party oriented, take a look at our Sitges boat party page.
How long is the night tour?
You can choose the duration you want. The most common is 2 hours for a romantic walk or a quiet outing, and 3 hours if you want to enjoy more calmly, have dinner on board or simply extend the night. Contact us by WhatsApp and we will adjust the time to what you have in mind.
Is it romantic for couples?
It is one of the most romantic plans that exist in Sitges. The privacy of the boat, the sound of the sea, the lights of the town and the starry sky create an atmosphere difficult to reproduce on land. Many couples combine it with a dinner on board for a complete and completely personalized evening.
