Since August 22nd, Barcelona has hosted the 37th edition of the world’s oldest trophy competition. Over the past months, Marina Port Vell has solidified its reputation as the preferred destination for those seeking to immerse themselves in a distinguished atmosphere.
Designated the “Preferred Superyacht Marina” during the event, its prime location in the city center, coupled with world-class facilities, attracted more than 150 superyachts.
VIP Experiences
As part of our VIP experience offerings, the marina presented an unparalleled proposal aboard the Wajer 38 and 55 yachts. These luxurious vessels allowed guests to experience the competition from the sea and on the front line, surrounded by an atmosphere of complete privacy and elegance. With a capacity for up to ten people, these yachts offered an exceptional vantage point for viewing the regattas, making them the ideal choice for those in search of a unique and exhilarating experience.
The VIP terraces, in turn, offered exceptional views of the dock-out area for the INEOS Britannia and Alinghi Red Bull teams, making them the perfect spot to catch every detail of the send-off shows these teams organized on regatta days. All of this took place in a private, elegant setting, complemented by a bespoke culinary selection.
Additionally, concierge services were always on hand to personalize every aspect of the stay, ensuring tailored attention throughout.
A First-Class Culinary Experience
Throughout the competition, the marina offered an outstanding culinary journey. The Sea Garden restaurant, led by chef Álex Palomo, delighted diners with a Mediterranean-inspired menu, while live broadcasts of the regattas played on screens across its spacious, sea-view terraces.
Other notable venues included the refined Moët & Chandon Terrace, where oysters and champagne were the stars, and the Blue Wave Bar, where cocktails and tapas were served amid the lively backdrop of live DJ sets. For a more relaxed experience, the Estrella Damm Lounge was the perfect retreat after a day of competition, serving cold beers in a laid-back atmosphere.
Luxury Shopping
The marina was also the perfect destination for luxury and fashion enthusiasts. With boutiques from renowned brands like Louis Vuitton, Prada, INEOS Grenadier, Maui Jim, and Gloria Diagonal, the docks transformed into a sophisticated shopping haven, surrounded by an unparalleled setting.
At the Marina Port Vell Boutique, visitors could explore a special collection developed in collaboration with Santa Eulalia, alongside official merchandise from the 37th edition of the competition and participating teams. This collection captured the essence of the prestigious event and offered a distinctive shopping experience.
During these months, the marina has become a landmark for nautical enthusiasts. We extend our gratitude to everyone who visited and shared in this unforgettable experience—one that will undoubtedly be remembered.
