About this tour
Take the helm of a De Antonio D28 speedboat for a private hour along Barcelona's coast with up to 8 others. Your skipper navigates whilst you cruise past the city's waterfront, swim in calm Mediterranean waters, and toast with cava. The boat's low-slung design cuts through swells smoothly; lounging on deck with a drink and the skyline in view beats any crowded beach day. Fuel and a multilingual skipper are sorted.

What to expect
You'll board at the appointed marina and meet your skipper, who briefs the group on safety and points out the route. Once underway, the boat accelerates smoothly; conversation becomes difficult over engine noise but the rush is immediate. You'll pass beaches, breakwaters, and the Gothic Quarter from the water. Most passengers congregate on deck, nursing drinks and taking photos. The skipper will cut the engine in a sheltered spot deep enough for swimming; expect 15–20 minutes in the water, then a slow cruise back. Total elapsed time is roughly 50 minutes on the water plus 10 for boarding formalities.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and a dry bag for valuables; the boat rocks in swell, so secure loose items. Swimwear under your clothes saves time. The boat suits all fitness levels; children and infants are welcome. Gratuity is separate from the quoted price.
