Your 2-hour route around Barcelona
Welcome aboard
We welcome you at berths 1539 and 1540 of the Olympic Port with a welcome drink. The local native captain explains the route and the skyline landmarks you are about to discover from the sea.
Barcelona's skyline from the sea
We sail along Barceloneta beach with panoramic views of the skyline: the Sagrada Família, Torres Mapfre and Hotel W rising above the horizon. A perspective that only exists from a sailboat on the Mediterranean.
Swimming and relaxing in the Mediterranean
We anchor in crystal-clear waters to swim, sunbathe on deck and enjoy snacks and drinks with the Barcelona skyline in the background. The most Instagrammable moment of the tour.
Return to the Olympic Port
We sail back along the Barceloneta coast, enjoying the last views of the skyline before docking at berths 1539 and 1540. The best boat trip in Barcelona in just 2 hours.
Barcelona's skyline
from the Mediterranean
There are many ways to see Barcelona. But none quite like sailing in front of the city and admiring its monuments from the sea.
The Sagrada Família from the sea
Gaudí's most iconic monument appears in all its glory from the Mediterranean. The ideal distance to see the towers rising above the Barcelona skyline is exactly the distance we cover during our sailing tour.
Hotel W and Torres Mapfre
The white sail of Hotel W Barcelona and the Torres Mapfre are the landmarks of the coastal skyline. From the deck you'll see them reflected in the water while you enjoy cold cava and the sea breeze on your face.
Barceloneta and the Olympic Port
We sail along the Barceloneta promenade with the Olympic Port at stern and the city profile unfolding before you. A panoramic view that no photo from land can capture.
