1-hour private sailing trip — from 195€

This is the quickest & cheapest way to get out to sea. One hour is ideal if you’re short on time but still want to sail, feel the Mediterranean, and see Barcelona from the water. You’ll head straight out of the marina, hoist the sails, and enjoy a short but real taste of sailing. Simple, direct, and refreshing.

What you'll do in 1 hour - Itinerary

A typical 1-hour sailing itinerary looks like this.

Step aboard

You’ll meet your skipper at the marina and step on board. We do a quick welcome, a short safety briefing, and then we leave the dock. No long explanations. We get moving.

Set sail to open sea

Once outside the harbor, we head straight out to sea. If the wind is right, we raise the sails and let the boat do its thing. Barcelona stays behind. The noise fades.

Swim, drink & sunbathe

If conditions allow, we stop for a quick swim. Otherwise, you relax on deck with a cold drink, some sun, and open views all around. It’s short, but it feels like a reset.

Head back to port

We turn back toward the marina and sail along the coast on the way in. A calm return, easy pace, and time to take it all in before docking.

2-hour private sailing trip — from 325€

This is our most popular option. Two hours is just the right amount of time to do a bit of everything without rushing. You’ll sail along Barcelona’s coastline, spend real time out at sea, and still have space to relax, swim if conditions allow, and enjoy a drink on board. It’s ideal if you want a full sailing experience but don’t want to commit all your morning or all your afternoon.

What you'll do in 2 hours

A typical 2-hour sailing itinerary looks like this:

Step aboard

The moment you & your group step onto the sailboat, you’ll be greeted by our friendly crew and introduced to your floating home. Settle in, grab a drink, and get ready for the best private boat tour in Barcelona.

Quick Port Vell cruise

As we leave Port Marina Vela, enjoy up-close views of Barcelona’s historic area, Port Vell, Maremagnum, and even catching a view of the iconic Sagrada Família... it’s like drifting through a postcard.

Open sea sailing

Once we’re out in open waters, the captain will set the sails, letting the wind guide us along the Barcelona coastline. We will sail through the crowded Barceloneta beaches, the Port Olimpic & Poblenou.

Swim time

We will stop the boat, place the paddleboard in the water, and relax under the sun while you and your group swim in the open sea.

Enjoy the good life

Enjoy cava, wine, or soft drinks, all included in your trip. Pair it with light snacks and enjoy the calm waters of the Mediterranean as Barcelona glows under the sun. As you relax, we will take a Polaroid group picture!

Back home

We’ll sail back to Port Marina Vela, wrapping up your private boat cruise in Barcelona. You & your group will leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and with many great memories!

Hosted in English, Spanish & Catalan.

3-hour private sailing trip — from 485€

Three hours is for people who don’t want to rush anything. This option gives you time to sail properly, go farther out to sea, and actually disconnect. There’s space to enjoy silence, longer swims, and moments where nothing is happening — which is kind of the point. If you want to feel what sailing really is, this is it.

What you'll do in 3 hours - Itinerary

Here’s how a typical 3-hour sail unfolds, with plenty of flexibility depending on conditions and what you feel like doing.

Step aboard

You meet your skipper at the marina, step on board, and get settled. We go over the basics and leave the port at an easy pace. No rush. Three hours gives us room to breathe from the start.

Quick Port Vell cruise

Before heading out to sea, we cruise through Port Vell. The water here is always calm, even on windy days. You pass by the Maremagnum, the Columbus monument, the old harbor, and some of the largest yachts in the city. It’s slow, smooth, and a great moment to take photos and ease into the experience.

Sail into open sea

Once outside the harbor, we raise sails if the wind allows and head into open water. The city starts to fade. The sound changes. This is where the real sailing begins.

Swim time

We stop in a quiet spot to swim. Here you actually have time. You can jump in, float around, use the inflatables, try the paddle surf, or just stay in the water without watching the clock. This is one of the highlights of the trip.

Sunbathe, drinks & snacks

After swimming, it’s time to dry off and relax on deck. You stretch out in the sun, enjoy drinks and snacks, and do absolutely nothing for a while. No schedule. Just calm sea and open space.

Group photos & Polaroid moments

With good light and open views, we take group photos and Polaroids on board. No posing required. Just natural moments with the sea and the city in the background.

Sail back to port

We head back toward the marina sailing along the coast, passing in front of the W Hotel. A smooth, scenic return with the city skyline on one side and open sea on the other, before docking calmly back at port.

Hosted in English, Spanish & Catalan.

4-hour private sailing trip — from 595€

This is a half-day boat rental. Four hours gives us real freedom. Enough time to sail far from the city, slow everything down, and shape the day around what you feel like doing.

Depending on conditions, we can sail north toward Montgat or south toward El Prat — quiet stretches of coast still very close to Barcelona. And if you want to go all in, we can head deep into open sea, far enough that you don’t see land anymore.

It’s also the option where you can get involved. Learn some sailing basics, help the crew with the sails, or just watch and relax. Bring a good playlist. Four hours deserves a soundtrack.

What you'll do in 4 hours - Itinerary

This is how a typical 4-hour sail usually flows. Flexible, unhurried, and shaped around the day.

Step aboard

You meet your skipper at the marina, step on board, and get settled. We go through the basics and ease out of the dock. With four hours ahead, there’s no rush from the very first minute.

Complete tour of Port Vell

We spend time cruising through Barcelona's historic Port Vell, more than on shorter trips. Calm water and plenty to see. Maremagnum, the Columbus monument, the old port, classic fishing boats, and mega-yachts.

Set sail beyond the city

Once outside the harbor, we raise sails and head along the coast. Depending on wind and sea, we can sail toward Montgat or El Prat, reaching quieter, more secluded areas still close to Barcelona. If the day feels right, we can also venture far out into open sea, where the city disappears completely.

Learn the basics (if you want)

If you’re curious, this is the perfect time to learn a bit about sailing. How the sails work, how the boat responds to wind, and how everything comes together. You can help the crew or just observe.

Long stop & swim time

We stop where it feels right. This is a proper swim. Time to jump in, float, use the inflatables, try the paddle surf, or just stay in the water as long as you like. No clock.

Sunbathe, music, drinks & snacks

Back on board, you dry off and settle in. Sun on deck, drinks and snacks, your playlist playing in the background. This is where time really stretches and people stop checking their phones.

Photos & Polaroid moments

With space, light, and relaxed energy, we take group photos and Polaroids. Natural moments, no rushing, no staging. Just the sea and the day as it is.

Sail back along the coast

We make our way back toward Barcelona at an easy pace, sailing along the coastline and passing in front of the W Hotel before re-entering the port. A calm, scenic return to close the day properly.

Hosted in English, Spanish & Catalan.
