“It was a great experience. It is value for money. I enjoyed this activity. The description was perfect.”
Sail from Marina Port Vell for two hours on a yacht limited to 10 people. Choose midday or sunset, enjoy Cava, wine, beer, soft drinks and light snacks, and swim if conditions allow. Crews such as Faith, Vicky, Rodrigo and Eduardo add local stories, safety guidance and friendly service.
“We booked a private tour for our last night in Barcelona, and it was the best decision we made. Vicky and Naia were incredible hosts—we enjoyed the sailing and the sea just as much as we enjoyed their company and all the laughs we shared. The communication before the trip was crystal clear. The boat itself was stunning, huge, and felt brand new. Being just the two of us made the experience feel so luxurious, and we were well taken care of with delicious snacks and drinks throughout the evening. If you’re considering booking this, don’t hesitate. Just do it!”
Set sail from Barcelona aboard a classic wooden Turkish gulet for 1.5 hours of coastline views, sunset light, and live music. You can sit near the performer or find a quieter spot on deck, then buy drinks and snacks from the onboard bar. English and Spanish support is available.
“This was a magical experience- I booked this sunset tour on a wooden boat with live music as a family experience. The boat was great (a bit choppy for some people), but I enjoyed it like a roller coaster! The sunset time was perfect to view the Barcelona coast and enjoy the sea breeze! The live music by Gus was in perfect combination with the atmosphere- he was playing the guitar, the mouth organ and singing - what a multi-talented entertainer! He sang our family favourites like Blowing in the Wind, Blue Suede Shoes etc 🤩🤩 Not to miss this experience in Barcelona!! Tip: It gets chilly on the water…”
Join a two-hour shared sailing trip from Port Olímpic aboard a 12-meter yacht.

Skippers such as Cristobal and Louigi add a friendly local touch.

Ride with a small group from Barcelona to Alella, one of Spain’s oldest wine regions, for a cellar visit, wine tasting, and local snacks. Then return by sailboat with drinks and time for a swim when sea conditions allow. Car transport is available instead of cycling.
“Fantastic day out! We cycled first which was amazing fun. Stephen was fab! The vineyards were great and wine very yummy! The way back however was a boat trip which was fine however extremely choppy. The guide was great fun however and did put us at ease. We wish we had the opportunity to cycle back. All round a fantastic day out and I would recommend to others. Just maybe consider the car instead of boat, if you get sea sick!”
Pick a river, a coast or a harbour.
