2-hour Barcelona sailing from Port Vell with open bar, cava and light tapas-style snacks. Swim if weather permits, small group max 10.
“It was a nice way to spend an afternoon with a really friendly crew. We met other nice tourists on the boat as well. We also loved being able to get some views/photos of Barcelona from a different vantage point. The weather was slightly windy but it really didn't have an impact on the sailing. Actually, it made it fun. Would recommend.”
Small-group Barcelona sunset sailing with open bar, snacks, and views from the Olympic Marina to Port Vell. About 2 hours.
“Daniel was great! We had just arrived in Barcelona (literally an hour before the start of the sunset cruise) and it was the perfect way to start our Barcelona New Year’s getaway. Small group (just 5 on our trip) while other boats we passed were packed. We had a wonderful sunset and enjoyed the views of the city from the water! Highly recommend.”

“Captain Vickie and First Mate Frederica provided a first class sunset cruise! They were very friendly and informative and along with the other fun passengers on board we had an awesome time!”
Barcelona bar crawl with a guide, free shots, discounted drinks, and guide photos, ending at a club in Ciutat Vella. English. 4 hours.
“This was poorly done and directed. The group was much smaller than expected. It's was implied that there would be anywhere from 8-15 in the group and there were initially only 3 of us - 2 were my group. 4th person joined late and your was so bad he left after one bar!!! There was no guidance from the guide. All she did was walk us to the different bars. No explanation and very minimal interaction with her group. Very disappointed in this tour.”

“We had a beautiful 3 hours of sailing! Our captain, Daniel, took wonderful care of us! My father had the best time talking to Daniel about sailing and got to sail the boat!”

1-hour sailing from Port Olimpico with an open bar, snacks, and a small group. See El Peix and Barcelona’s Olympic coast.
“We chose the sunset cruise and it was beautiful. We had an amazing captain, luigi, who made the whole experience even better. He pointed out the sights to us and asked our music choices (if we wanted any). He also took photos of us and the sunset when we asked. The boat had drinks and blankets available for if it became windy. Doing this on the last day of our trip was truly an unforgettable experience and I would definitely recommend this experience.”
