About this tour
Spend two hours sailing out from Port Olímpic into the Mediterranean, taking in Barcelona's coastline from the water. You'll anchor off the coast for a swim or sunbake, with cava, wine and nibbles on board. It's a relaxed shared cruise that works equally well solo, as a couple or in a small group—you'll mingle with other travellers while soaking up sea air and city views.
Highlights
- Swim in the Med from an anchored boat
- Views of Sagrada Familia and Montjuïc from the water
- Cava, wine and beer included throughout
- Cheese, salami and nuts to graze on
- Mix with other travellers or bring your own crew
- Departs Port Olímpic, easy public transport access
What to expect
The boat leaves Port Olímpic and heads into open water where you can see the city skyline recede behind you—Barceloneta, the W Hotel and the cathedral all visible from deck. After an hour or so you'll drop anchor in a quiet spot. Some passengers jump in for a proper swim; others stay topside with a glass of cava and watch the water. The crew keeps the drinks flowing and puts out platters of cheese, cured meat and crackers. There's a playlist running softly in the background. It's unhurried and social without feeling forced.
Good to know
Bring sun protection. The boat operates year-round but summer afternoon cruises can get busy. Public transport gets you to Port Olímpic easily; parking is your own expense. Infants can sit on your lap or use a specialised seat. Service dogs welcome.
