Full Description

Barcelona's coast and skyline from the sea

A boat trip in Barcelona is the best way to appreciate how the city meets the Mediterranean. From the water you see the long curve of the coast, the Barceloneta beachfront, the marinas and the green slopes of Montjuïc, with the city rising behind. On clear days, the view back towards the skyline is one of the best in Spain.

The catamaran cruise lasts about an hour and follows the coast at an easy pace, so you have plenty of time to take photographs and simply enjoy the breeze. Because the route can change with sea conditions and port traffic, your crew will confirm what you see on the day.

The sunset cruise with DJ music

Sunset is the most popular sailing, when the light softens and the sky over the city turns orange and pink. Our default option is the sunset cruise with a DJ, which adds a chill-out soundtrack to the trip and makes it feel like a small celebration.

It is a good choice for couples, friends and groups who want a relaxed evening on the water before dinner. If you prefer a quieter trip, choose the daytime option, which offers the same views and a calmer atmosphere in bright light.

On board the catamaran

The vessel is a modern catamaran with a wide, stable deck, comfortable lounge corners and photogenic spaces designed to make the most of the view. There is a Kids Corner where younger passengers can play, so the outing works for families.

Refreshments and snacks can be bought on board, and outside food and drinks are not allowed. Each ticket also contributes to projects to clean the Mediterranean and plant coral. Wear comfortable shoes, and bring a light layer, as the breeze can be cool once the sun goes down.
