About Us:
The Essence of Barcelona on the Sea
At Cool Sailing BCN, we don't just offer boat trips; we share our lifestyle and love for the Mediterranean with those seeking an authentic experience. Far from the mass, impersonal tours, our offering is born from passion, local tradition and a commitment to excellence.
We're Barcelonans,
the sea is our home
The driving force behind this project has saltwater in their blood and knows every corner of our coastline like the back of their hand. We are Barcelonans through many generations, and that heritage allows us to offer you a service with an authentic taste of Barcelona.
Here you are not just another tourist. You are an honoured guest in our home: the Mediterranean. Our skippers don't just know the sailing techniques — they know the stories, the secret spots and the best angles of the city's skyline. That difference shows.
"The sea off Barcelona looks completely different from the deck of a sailboat than from the shore. For over 8 years we've been sharing that perspective with thousands of people from around the world."— Miquel, Founder & Skipper · Cool Sailing BCN
Built here,
designed for the Mediterranean
What truly sets us apart starts with the very structure of our vessels. Unlike other companies that import generic boats, our sailboats have been designed and built entirely in Barcelona.
You'll sail on boats with character, designed to offer comfort and generous space — far superior to the standard vessels of the low-cost sector. Every centimetre is thought out to make your experience comfortable, safe and memorable.
As owners and boat operators, we personally oversee every detail. We are not middlemen: we are the boat owners and your direct hosts.

Solar energy
and purified seawater
At Cool Sailing BCN we believe that sailing only makes sense if we respect the environment we love so much. That's why we have equipped our entire fleet with solar panels to minimise engine use and reduce our carbon footprint.
We went one step further in sustainability: one of our vessels features a state-of-the-art solar-powered desalinator. We transform seawater into drinking water cleanly, reducing plastic consumption and our ecological footprint.
This is not marketing. It is technology you can see and touch when you come aboard.

Merchant Navy
training
Your peace of mind is our absolute priority. Our training comes from the Merchant Navy, which guarantees maximum professional rigour — well above the minimum qualification required for recreational sailing charters.
We apply high-level safety protocols for both the vessel and all passengers. Before each departure a safety briefing is conducted, all equipment is checked and the weather forecast is verified.
Your only concern should be enjoying the skyline and the breeze. We'll take care of everything else.
"Safety is not an add-on. It is the starting point before every departure to sea, regardless of the weather or the duration of the tour."— Cool Sailing BCN Safety Protocol
Exclusive dedication
to 120%
We are not diversified into other sectors, nor do we treat boat rental as a side business. At Cool Sailing BCN we dedicate ourselves exclusively to sailing charter.
Doing things well requires 120% of our energy and attention. That total focus is what allows us to deliver an exclusive, personal, high-quality service at highly competitive prices.
When you book with us, you are contacting the owners directly. No call centre, no middlemen. Real people who know every boat, every route and every sunset on the Barcelona coast.
That direct attention is why 95% of our guests return or recommend us to their friends.
