We’ve welcomed thousands of guests on board. And we read the reviews carefully.
Here are the patterns that come up again and again:
- “The captain really cared”
- “They explained everything calmly”
- “We felt safe”
- “No rush”
- “Exactly what we expected”
That’s not accidental. It’s the result of how we run things.
"Arnau was great to our group!! He was kind and helpful to our group when asking questions about Barcelona. It was a beautiful ride and we all felt safe! Even in January it was a good experience!"
"Incredible time on the Mediterranean!! Arnau was the most excellent Captain; professional, friendly and a superlative host. The wine and food were outstanding, the water was beautiful, the sunset majestic and the ship's company wonderful. Heartily recommend this seagoing experience!!"
"Captain Arnau is an extremely incredible guy. He’s always engaged in conversation with the group and was super knowledgeable about Barcelona. He even let members of our group take control of the boat and took plenty of photos. Would definitely book another trip when back in Barcelona."

Great experience - Danny was very knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. Asked a bunch of questions and to jump in the water, he was more than accommodating. Snacks and bottomless drinks definitely added to the fun.
"We had a blast with Arnau! We were even running a few minutes late and he was gracious to wait. The boat ride was very relaxing and Arnau was a great local host."
"Had a wonderful sunset boat cruise with Juan. He served us drinks and snacks and told us all about what we were seeing both in the port and when we were outside the port. For someone who boats a lot, I really thoroughly enjoyed this whole experience. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something fun and relaxing to do."
"Amazing experience! It was a lovely sunset. Loved our captain. He was very warm and welcoming and made our trip a lot more fun for us. We were able to roam around freely throughout the boat which made the experience even more fun."

"If you are looking for a different day in Barcelona, this is the activity. Being on the boat eating delicious snacks and drinks while you walk along the coast and see the city is priceless, I recommend it!"
"Our group of 7 friends had a fantastic time on board with young captain Juan (age 26). We had the boat to ourselves and enjoyed a sail on the open sea (somewhat choppy waters) followed by a calm sightseeing sail through the marina, nibbling on snacks and sipping cava with listening to some chill music provided by Juan. We also had the option to play our own playlists. The organizer was super helpful ahead of the trip. We were worried about the weather and they even offered to change the date. we kept the original booking, but the option was appreciated. All around amazing experience. Highly recommended."
"We loved this tour, the skipper was great, super nice and welcoming with us. Thanks again!"
"It’s not an exaggeration to say they provided me and my girlfriend (now fiance) the best moment of my life ❤️ - there couldn’t have been anyone better to help plan my proposal with; they were professional, caring and went above and beyond. If you’re hesitating to decide if you want to go ahead with vela, please don’t. I’m forever grateful I made the decision to organise my engagement through vela and I can’t explain how much I appreciate the team for smashing every element every step of the way!! Gracias gracias gracias 🙏"
"Great and unique experience! Arnau is very enthusiastic, answers all questions, and is a super handsome captain.And in the end, he took a Polaroid for every guest on the boat as a souvenir, which really impressed the girls, you have to have nice photos to say you've been there;) Recommended!"

"Very nice, professional. It was beautiful."
We had a blast, was a really chill experience and Arnau was very nice to us 😁🙏🏻 definitely worth it
loved it! Arnau was a fantastic Captain. we had a great time chatting with him and the others on board, seeing the views, and asking all the questions.
"Amazing experience, highly recommend!! Nothing beats seeing a place from the water :)"
"Great experience. The host was so friendly and nice. Would do it again each time I come to Barcelona."
"Juan is a sweetheart of a person. He was easy to chat with, knowledgeable, and let us just chill whilst we enjoyed the gentle rocking of the boat at sunset. I recommend signing up for this experience if you would like a slow and easy ride on the water and a different view of Barcelona.
"
It was a great trip... Juan was very humble, sweet and friendly. The sunset view was out of world!
"The captain is a very knowledgeable and friendly person.
