Deck space is finite and the good departures go early. These 9 sailing trips in Barcelona are priced and timed so you can decide in a couple of minutes and get on with the rest of the trip.
Spend 75 minutes aboard a classic Turkish Gulet off Barcelona’s coast. Choose the rooftop, interior lounge, or aft chill-out area, enjoy one Aperol Spritz, and order extra drinks or snacks at the bar. English and Spanish-speaking crew members, including Oriol and Khalid on some departures, keep check-in and sailing easy.
“Was an amazing event, thank you to Santiago & Mark. Great hosts”
Set out from Marina Port Vell for a two-hour shared or private sailing trip with up to 10 people. Your skipper and crew serve cava, wine, beer, soft drinks, and light vegan or vegetarian-friendly snacks while you view Barcelona from offshore. Choose midday sun or sunset, and swim if sea conditions allow.
“We loved our experience! Victoria and Guy were fun, professional and very knowlegeable - and even more patient in answering all of our questions!”
Spend 1.5 hours cruising Barcelona’s coast aboard a classic Turkish gulet, with live guitar, singing, or another relaxed musical performance depending on the sailing. You’ll see the city from the Mediterranean, watch the sunset from the upper deck or nets, and buy drinks and snacks at the onboard bar. Performers may include Gustavo, also known as Gus.
“The singer had fantastic voice, the sunset view was stunning and the overall vibe was very pleasant. The boat itself was cozy and the crew was welcoming. Great choice for romantic boat ride.”
Meet at Port Olimpic for a two-hour shared sunset sail on a 12-meter yacht. You’ll see Barceloneta, Montjuïc, the W Hotel, Torre Glòries, and the Sagrada Família from the water while enjoying three Spanish tapas per person, snacks, and an open bar with cava, sangria, wine, beer, and soft drinks. Captains may include Cristobal, Louigi, Chris, or Ritchie.
“Absolutely beautiful boat, beautiful views, sunset over the mountains, can no recommend enough.”
Sail for about two hours from Port Vell with a maximum of 10 people, an open bar, light vegan and vegetarian snacks, and local stories from the crew. You’ll pass Barceloneta, Montjuïc, Tibidabo, and the Sagrada Família, with a swim stop when weather permits. Private sailing is also available.
“We very much enjoyed our leisurely cruise around the Barcelona bay/marina area on the sailboat! This is simply a ride, sip and look trip - so as long as that's what you're expecting, you'll love it. There is not historical lessons being given, you're not going very far. The captain and first mate were very fun and we had a great group of other visitors and the trip was lovely. It was very wavy the day we went, so we just stayed in the bay the whole time. For a moment they took us out of the bay so we could see how it was and WOW it was so…”
Use one 24 or 48-hour ticket on Barcelona City Tour’s orange and green routes, hopping off for Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, FC Barcelona, MNAC, and El Born. Add a one-hour coastal catamaran from Port Vell to Puerto Olímpic. English and Spanish hosts are available, with multilingual audio on the buses.
“Great city and buses were very frequent and provided a great overview of the sights. The catamaran was a lot of fun as well.”
Join skipper Jorge or another multilingual captain at Port Olímpic for a two-hour sail along Barcelona’s coast. You’ll pass Port Vell, Barceloneta, Montjuïc, the Olympic Towers, and the W Hotel while enjoying local snacks, wine, beer, champagne or Catalan Cava. Sunset trips are especially appealing, though wind and weather can shape the ride.
“Great experience with Jorge, everything runs smooth and he manages the trip easy and fun. I recommend this trip as a top one in Barcelona!!! Don’t miss out”
Join a small group of up to seven people for a one-hour sunset sail from Gate 8-9, Mooring 901.

Guides including Salvi, Salvador, and Pol add local stories and a relaxed, personal feel.
“We had a fantastic time with Sal! It was lovely being out on the boat sailing, and Sal explained all about Barcelona and it's land marks. The sunset was also STUNNING, and this was probably one of our favourite experiences!”
Spend 5 to 6.5 hours linking Barcelona, Alella wine country, and the coast by e-bike and sailboat.
