If you come to Sitges to see the fireworks next year, you may want to consider chartering a boat and watch the event from the sea!
The entire event takes on a complete new appearance from the sea as you watch the fireworks explode over the entire village.
You can charter anything from a simple scooner to a magnificent yacht….or find a nice boy who might intive you to a private party!
To enquire about boat rental, simply contact Gay Sitges Guide and we can do the rest!
Most departures are from the port of Aiguadolce, which is located in Sitges.
You can also set sail from Barcelona and take a spectacular trip along the Iberian/Mediterranian coast, possibly the most memorable way to arrive in Sitges… but whatever you do, we can definitely recommend taking in the fireworks from the sea!
