About this tour
Spend an hour sailing Barcelona's coastline aboard a compact modern yacht with a maximum of nine passengers. Departing from Port Olímpic three times daily, you'll catch Mediterranean breezes, sip complimentary drinks and nibble snacks whilst the city's skyline recedes behind you. Your professional skipper steers towards sheltered waters for a swim stop, where dolphins occasionally surface. It's an unhurried way to see Barcelona from the water alongside fellow travellers.

What to expect
You'll board a well-maintained sailing vessel and settle onto soft cockpit or bow cushions as the skipper prepares for departure. The first twenty minutes involve catching the breeze and drifting away from the harbour; most groups spot Barcelona's architecture shrinking gradually. Around the midpoint, the skipper anchors in quieter waters for a swim—bring swimmers. Back on deck, you'll nurse a drink (alcoholic or otherwise) with snacks whilst sailing back to port. The whole outing feels casual rather than structured; conversation flows naturally between passengers.
