“My husband and I ended up being the only ones who showed up because it was a little chilly. With the boat all to ourselves, it was a very personal and very romantic experience. Louigi was an excellent captain. We were able to communicate quite well despite any language bumps. It was a joy to learn more about him and his family.”

Meet your English-speaking skipper at Port Vell for a relaxed two-hour sail past Barceloneta and the America’s Cup harbor. Enjoy pinchos, cold cuts, wine, cava, or beer, then swim if conditions allow. Guides such as Ivy, Maria, Molly, and Connor may invite you to help steer.

“Absolutely loved our boat trip! Both guides were lovely, helpful and couldn’t have done more for us. Constant flow of drinks and tapas style food which wasn’t the best but fine for a snack. The swim stop was incredible! Would absolutely recommend and would rebook if I’m lucky enough to return to Barcelona”

5.Sunset Sailing Experience w/ Live Spanish Guitar & Spanish Tapas

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 69 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $109

Set out from Moll de Mestral for about two hours on a small yacht limited to 11 people. You will hear live guitar, enjoy Spanish tapas, wine, beer, or sangria, and see Barcelona from the water, including Port Vell, Barceloneta, the W Hotel, Sagrada Familia, and the Agbar Tower. Captains such as Marcello and musicians including Pablo have been especially well received.

“From the moment we arrived, our coordinator was fantastic. The directions were easy and the dusky atmosphere was perfect as we descended onto the marina deck. The guitar player was impressive and knew all the greatest hits! We sipped on sangria, ate queso and olives and glided on the water around the harbor. We did have an Instagram star (at least in her eyes) on board who took copious photos of herself in front of all the great views. She deemed them worthy, and they were! We highly suggest you book this intimate experience. Take a lil’ Dramamine if waves get to you and you’ll be just fine!”
