Yacht catering in Puerto de Palamós, Spain

70 superyacht berthsGamba roja de Palamós (Spain's premier prawn) · Palamós daily fish auction at 17h00 · Empordà DO wines and DOP olive oil
Puerto de Palamós sits on the central Costa Brava, with 70 superyacht berths in the working commercial-and-pleasure port of one of the most authentic Catalan fishing towns. Palamós is famous worldwide in the Spanish gastronomy world for one product: the gamba roja de Palamós (red prawn) — Spain's most prestigious shrimp, fished by the local fleet in the deep waters offshore at 400-800 metres, with a distinctive intense sweetness and premium price that reaches the country's most prestigious restaurants. The Palamós pantry centres on the prawn but extends across Catalan tradition. Gamba roja de Palamós — the local red prawn, with the daily auction (la subasta de Palamós) in the port at 17h00 most working days. Empordà DO wines, DOP Empordà olive oil. Anchoas de l'Escala from 30 km north. Catalan specialties: pa amb tomàquet, suquet de peix, esqueixada, butifarra, fideuà. Crema catalana. Penedès DO and Priorat DOCa from the Catalan interior. Cava from Sant Sadurní d'Anoia (the Penedès appellation centre). Fresh fish from the Palamós auction — alongside the gamba, the daily catch includes monkfish, sea bass, sea bream, octopus, scampi. The Palamós fishing fleet's commitment to sustainability is unusually strong (the port operates a fisheries-museum that documents the local methods). Yachting season runs May through October. Palamós suppliers handle same-day on fresh items including same-day gamba roja, and 24 to 48 hours on full provisioning, with tender delivery to the L'Estartit and Medes Islands anchorages.
