Designed by Umberto Felci and built by Dufour Yachts in 2007, this Dufour 44 Performance is a sailboat that combines safety, comfort and sportiness. Manufactured under the most demanding standards, its construction category is oceanic and it is approved for a maximum of 12 passengers. With simple lines, its exterior design is elegant and sporty, with a wide bow free of obstacles, perfect for relaxing and sunbathing. Its bathtub is spacious, equipped with a table, speakers and hood, perfect to enjoy on summer days. Its interior is one of its strong points, very spacious and bright, with closets in all cabins and great stowage capacity. Versatile thanks to its 4 cabins and 2 bathrooms, it comfortably accommodates 8 people, while the convertible lounge table can accommodate 2 more passengers. The cabins have 2x1.50m beds and the height inside does not go below 1.90m, making it an interesting option even for the tallest. In its most technical aspect, the Dufour 44 Performance is a very competitive regatta cruiser, fast in all directions and wind conditions. Its track record is enviable, winning the Copa del Rey on two occasions, it accelerates at the slightest breath of air and its large wheel offers precision and excellent sensitivity, making even the most demanding people enjoy it. The equipment is as complete as you can imagine, a very complete kitchen, fishing equipment (shore, high altitude, squid), snorkeling equipment, paddle surfing, professional camera, gopro, drone, board games, Spotify, etc. to convert these days on your unforgettable vacation. ABOUT THE CAPTAIN AND OWNER Knowing the boss with whom you are going to share your leisure time is one of the most important questions, so I introduce myself: My name is Didac and I was born in Barcelona 39 years ago. I am a yacht captain and professional skipper in addition to being a technical mechanical industrial engineer from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. I have 4 SCTW specialty professional certificates: basic safety training, GMDSS restricted operator, rescue boat training and initial specific health training. I have been a skipper since 2009, I have participated in numerous coastal and high altitude regattas and I am very knowledgeable about the Catalan coast and the Balearic Islands. I speak Spanish, Catalan, English and French and I combine my passion for the sea with traveling, having been to more than 40 countries and 4 continents. My dream is to one day sail around the world. I am professional, that means that I dedicate 100% of my time to sailing and personally taking care of the sailboat, both aesthetically and mechanically. Being an owner, I am interested in the smallest detail and after each reservation, I clean and disinfect the sailboat, both inside and on deck, guaranteeing a healthy Covid-Free space. I prepare all reservations in advance, to the taste of my clients, studying the meteorology in great detail and offering advice so that the experience is extraordinary. I fully insure the sailboat and its passengers with Pantaenius, the most serious nautical insurance underwriting company with the best coverage in the nautical sector. Some of my strengths are flexibility, empathy and passion for what I do. The LGTBIQ+ community is very welcome on this sailboat If you have a pet and would like to bring it on board, we are a 100% pet friendly sailboat. My promise is that you will have a great time whatever your plan is and I invite you to read my reviews so that you can see real opinions from other clients who have already sailed with me. ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -Boarding times are at 10:00 am and disembarkation at approximately 7:00 pm; I am very flexible in this matter and I will attend to your requests. -If you want to spend the night on the sailboat, you must select a minimum of 2 days. -The sailboat is ready to go to the Balearic Islands; Taking into account that 2 days are spent between the round trip, I recommend a minimum of 5 days to go to Menorca or Mallorca and 7 for Ibiza and Formentera. -Yes, you can take the sailboat and you can learn as much as you want; I love to explain. -If we sail more than one day, except for safety reasons, I leave it up to my clients to spend the night anchored in a cove or moored in port. -My clients bring the food and drinks, there is a large refrigerator to keep it and a kitchen to cook it. I recommend simple food that does not require much preparation. Prepared food is a good option. -If it rains or there are clouds, the reserve remains firm. If there is a storm warning, you will know in advance and I will propose a change in the dates. If it is not possible in any way, the amount will be refunded taking into account the insurance chosen. -My phone number will appear once the reservation is made and we can personally confirm all the details. If in the meantime you have other questions, I will be happy to resolve them through chat. If you are thinking about it, don't think twice, this is your sailboat. Thanks and see you soon!

We were a group of 10 from the UK and each member agreed that this was the highlight of our trip to Barcelona. Didac ‘s boat was in immaculate condition and his hospitality was unmatched! we even forgot our sunglasses and five minutes later we were offered a pair each. The route is lovely and the 2 hours went by at a good pace. I highly recommend, whatever the season, to use Didac’s service. Great times !

Didac was extremely accommodating, professional, and knowledgable. I was so impressed and delighted by his level of service and will definitely seek out booking him again on our next trip to Barcelona. We went out sailing on the beginning of our excursion, but given the rough water, Didac accommodated our group to boating around the marina with the motor to avoid any seasickness within our party. He had extensive knowledge about sailing and the upcoming competitions in the area which we learned all about and got to see the different countries' sailboats and mega yachts in the marina. Once the waters cleared up, we went back out to sea for some swimming which was fabulous. I also want to note he was a great communicator and his directions to meet him were very clear. Thank you Didac for an amazing time!

An unforgettable experience aboard Dídac's sailboat while we celebrated a birthday. From the moment we arrived, their hospitality was exceptional. Dídac was attentive at all times, sharing his passion for navigation and adapting the route so that we could enjoy it to the fullest. We sailed next to the marina, taking a different look at Barcelona while Dídac guided us with his knowledge and enthusiasm. His charisma and positive energy created a welcoming and happy atmosphere. Furthermore, the sailboat was impeccable, showing the care and order that Dídac dedicates to his vessel. I would recommend it one hundred percent and we will definitely do it again!
Una experiencia inolvidable a bordo del velero de Dídac mientras celebrábamos un cumpleaños. Desde el momento en que llegamos, su hospitalidad fue excepcional. Dídac estuvo atento en todo momento, compartiendo su pasión por la navegación y adaptando la ruta para que pudiéramos disfrutar al máximo. Navegamos junto a la marina, dándole un vistazo diferente a Barcelona mientras Dídac nos guiaba con su conocimiento y entusiasmo. Su carisma y energía positiva crearon un ambiente acogedor y alegre. Además, el velero estaba impecable, mostrando el cuidado y el orden que Dídac dedica a su embarcación. ¡Lo recomendaría al cien por ciento y seguro que lo repetiremos!

Incredible experience with Didac and his sailboat. We sailed in front of Barcelona, while listening to our favorite music and having a few drinks. The communication with the captain has been perfect and the sailboat has exceeded our expectations, it sails wonderfully, everything one can imagine and is very well cared for. I recommend 1000% to anyone looking for a good boat and a great captain in Barcelona. We will repeat for sure!!!!

Recomiendo 1000% a cualquiera que busque un buen barco y un gran capitán en Barcelona. ¡¡¡¡Repetiremos seguro!!!!

We had a great boat tour with Didac. He was very nice and flexible. We were even allowed to take our Yorkshire Terrier on board. He is an absolutely professional skipper and we felt very safe with him on board. We would certainly choose him again for a boat tour.

Didac is a fantastic Skipper with lots of interesting knowledge to share about the coast of Barcelona, and especially its ports. Furthermore, he is an interesting guy with an inspiring past — great talks while enjoying some cold beverages and lovely deep house tunes on a warm summer day. You're looking for a nice afternoon with you and your Friends / Family? Look no further: Didac is your man.

Our experience with Didac has been wonderful. He is very pleasant, kind, attentive and he adapts to your desires. He knows the environment very well / he is very cultured (engineer) and teaches you the history of the island. He speaks very good English and French (Spanish and Catalan). The boat is well equipped (dinghy and paddle to access the coast). We highly recommend!
