A low bow parts the Mediterranean as Barcelona's skyline stretches aft — chimneys, cranes and Gaudí's spires shrinking into a ribbon of stone. Onboard a 12-passenger sailing yacht, the city becomes a coastal panorama: Platja de la Nova Icaria slides past and Montjuïc's terraces slope toward the sea. Guests step between shaded cockpit and sunlit foredeck, the soft clink of rigging punctuating conversation.
