Sailing in Barcelona:
Your Exclusive Full-Day Escape
Looking for a different experience at sea? Leave the crowded beaches behind and set sail on a private sailing excursion from the Olympic Port. An entire day dedicated to sun, sea breeze and the freedom to choose your own route along the Catalan coast.
What's included in your Full Day Excursion?
We want your only concern to be enjoying the Mediterranean. That's why our service includes everything you need for a perfect day at sea.
Professional Skipper
An expert who handles safety and navigation. Forget about worries — he takes care of everything so you can just enjoy. If you want to learn, he'll teach you to steer!
Fuel and Insurance
No surprises or hidden costs. Fuel, final cleaning and passenger insurance are included in the full day price.
Leisure Equipment
Snorkel masks and Stand-Up Paddle boards available to make the most of every water stop.
Drinks and Snacks
Water, soft drinks and complimentary snacks for the journey. Note: The price is per private boat, not per person. Ideal for groups of friends, quiet hen/stag dos or family celebrations.
Anchoring and Swimming in the Mediterranean
We stop at the best coves to swim, snorkel or simply sunbathe on deck. With 8 hours there's time for two swimming stops.
Fully Customised Route
You decide how long we spend swimming, when we want to eat and whether you prefer more sailing or more anchoring. We can head to the Maresme, Garraf or Sitges.
Custom Itinerary: From Barcelona's Skyline to the Maresme Coast
Our 8-hour sailing proposal combines the pleasure of pure sailing with strategic stops at the most iconic points of Barcelona's northern coast.
Morning: Heading to Pont del Petroli and First Swim
We set sail from the Olympic Port, enjoying views of the Sagrada Família and the W Hotel from the water. We'll sail north towards the Pont del Petroli in Badalona, a visual landmark where the water takes on a special blue. Here we'll drop anchor for the first time: the perfect moment to enjoy a peaceful swim, go snorkelling or simply relax to the sound of the waves.
Midday: Gastronomy at El Masnou or Badalona Harbour
At lunchtime, the decision is yours. We can moor at El Masnou Harbour or Badalona Harbour to discover their culinary offering:
- Rice dishes and Fideuà: Enjoy an authentic paella at local restaurants like El Tresmacons or L'Escandall.
- On-board meal: If you prefer to stay on the boat, you can bring your own food and enjoy a private picnic at the cockpit table.
Afternoon: Return Sail and Total Relaxation
After lunch, we'll cast off for a leisurely return. We'll take advantage of the afternoon breeze to sail back under full sail. Before entering port, we'll find one last quiet cove for a second swim before the sun starts to set.
From the boat to the table
Sailing works up an appetite. El Masnou harbour is one of the Maresme's gastronomic centres — seafood rice, fresh fish and privileged views over the marina.
Restaurant El Tresmacons
A classic if you're after a seafood rice or fideuà you won't forget. Their terrace overlooking the boats is the ideal spot to stay connected to the sea while you eat.
L'Escandall
Specialists in fresh fish and shellfish from the day's catch. Honest, local cuisine with privileged views over El Masnou's marina.
Saloma
A modern twist without losing the essence of the Maresme. Seafood tapas and elaborate dishes perfect for a relaxed lunch after the morning at sea.
💡 Captain's Tip: If you prefer something lighter before the afternoon swim, these restaurants offer exceptional tapas options. Mooring management and table reservation included in the Gastronomy Pack (+€50 harbour fees).
