The experience — Catamaran Hire on the Costa del Garraf
Catamaran hire in Vilanova is not for everyone. There is no skippered charter, no instructor on board and no closed group.
If you have certified dinghy-sailing knowledge and pass the prior level test, the catamaran is yours for two hours. Rigged, ready, waiting.
The activity starts at the RocRoi centre in Vilanova i la Geltrú, on Platja de Ribes Roges. Staff verify the level test, hand over the buoyancy aid and review the weather forecast before every launch. If the wind exceeds 15 knots, the session is rescheduled — safety comes first.
The route covers the authorised sailing zone off the Costa del Garraf, with the Garbí wind arriving from the south-west from 1 pm. And here is the detail that changes the day: this thermal wind is constant between June and September, at 8–15 knots, perfect for reaching. To the west, the catamaran can approach Els Colls and Miralpeix, a protected natural area on the border with Sitges.
And in the end, two hours feel short. The catamaran touches down on the same beach, staff check the craft and changing rooms with showers await on return. What you take away is not the outing — it is the feeling of having sailed alone, with the Garbí working in your favour and the Garraf coast as your track.
Included in the price
What the experience feels like
Couples: two hours alone with the Garbí, sailing a coastline very few know from the water. A couples’ experience designed for those who can read a sail.
Groups of friends: compete, explore, test yourselves. The Garbí is the same for everyone, but not everyone uses it equally well.
Premium · Exclusivity: self-sail off the Garraf cliffs, no instructor, no groups, no intermediaries. Just the sea and the craft.

FAQs
Is previous experience required to hire a catamaran?
Yes. This service is for people with certified dinghy-sailing knowledge. When sailing without an instructor you must be able to manoeuvre, trim the sails and know the right-of-way rules at sea.
What if I want to sail a catamaran but have no experience?
Then your product is the Catamaran Adrenaline Trip: same craft, with an instructor on board and no prior experience required. All the thrill of catamaran sailing on the Costa del Garraf, with no accreditation needed.
How many people can go on board?
Depending on the model available, the usual capacity is 2 to 3 people. Ideal for couples or small groups who want to sail together independently.
How is safety managed during the hire?
The RocRoi team monitors weather conditions at all times. Craft are hired out for light-to-moderate wind, never above 15 knots. Staff supervise every launch and the client signs a responsibility acceptance form.
What is the best time to catch the wind?
From 1 pm, when the Garbí — the Garbinada — arrives: a south-westerly thermal wind of 8 to 15 knots, constant and reliable between June and September. The ideal slot for reaching.
What does the level test involve?
The test demonstrates sufficient knowledge to: launch from the beach and return through the surf zone safely; know the right-of-way rules and permitted sailing zones; sail upwind, downwind and across the wind; perform stop-and-start manoeuvres; and know how to right the craft.
