Marina Vela Barcelona
Visiting by boat
Marina Port Vell is Barcelona's premier superyacht marina, tucked right at the port entrance next to the iconic W Hotel with the city skyline as your backdrop. Opened in 2018, it's a state-of-the-art facility built to handle serious vessels with top-tier services and personalized berthing options. You're steps from Barceloneta beach, the Gothic Quarter, and some of the best seafood in the city — it doesn't get more central than this in the Mediterranean.
