SAILING GUIDE

Barcelona looks different from the water.

Most of the sailing trips we offer are run by operators with Biosphere certification, a sustainable-tourism standard based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Any boat trip still has a footprint, and we’d rather say so than pretend otherwise.

Choose your boat — sailing boat, catamaran or yacht — or combine it with a winery visit or an e-bike tour.

Tips & Advice

Groups
Private boats are priced per boat, not per person. Split between four or more, each share can come close to the price of a shared trip — worth comparing.
Shared boat experience
You could be sharing a boat with 10 to 100 people.
Fewer people on board usually means a higher price.
Private boat experience
A professional skipper is included in all private experiences.
Just bring yourself and your family / friends.
Socialize
If you are looking to socialize and meet new people the shared boat trips are your best choice.
Swimming opportunity
Some boat trips allow for a quick dip in the sea.
Remember to bring your towel and swimsuit.
Seasonal items
In summer, bring sun cream, sunglasses and a hat; in winter, a warm layer — it’s colder on the water.
Safety
All experiences are conducted by professional skippers.
Sea and weather conditions are checked continuously, and trips only go ahead if the skipper considers it safe.

Budget

Las Golondrinas

Usually the most affordable boat trip in Barcelona, on wooden two-deck boats running since 1888. Arrive early if you want a seat on the open upper deck.
The 60-minute route uses a boat adapted for reduced mobility; the 40-minute port tour does not.
