Step aboard for a 2-hour open group sailing cruise along the seafront of Barcelona. This midday cruise offers the chance to enjoy the city’s skyline from the water while socialising with friends or family. Light refreshments and an open bar are available onboard, and with a small group of up to 10 people, you’ll enjoy a relaxed, sociable atmosphere with expert guidance from the skipper.
Board the yacht at Marina Vela’s main entrance, where the skipper will welcome you and provide a safety briefing, explaining yacht facilities and how to move safely around the deck. As the yacht leaves the marina, you’ll glide along Barcelona’s seafront, passing landmarks such as Barceloneta Beach, the W Hotel, and the Olympic Port. The midday sun illuminates the city, reflecting beautifully on the calm waters of the Mediterranean.
During the cruise, the open bar serves cava, wine, beer, and soft drinks, complemented by light snacks such as olives, jamón, cheese, and crisps. There’s time to relax on deck, take photographs, or enjoy the gentle breeze. The skipper may pause the yacht in a quiet area offshore, offering an optional opportunity to swim or use the yacht’s bathing platform. Throughout, the crew provides insights into local landmarks and marine life, making the cruise both entertaining and informative.
Please wait on the street directly in front of Restaurant MOLO39 - not on the terrace.

It’s best to dress in comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing. Even in summer, it can get breezy on the water, so a light jacket or windbreaker is recommended. Sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen will help protect you from the sun, and a towel is handy if you plan to get a little wet.
Footwear should be flat and secure; avoid flip-flops or slippery shoes. You might also consider bringing a small bag for personal items, and a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the tour. Checking the weather forecast ahead of time helps ensure you pack exactly what you need.

Guests with dietary restrictions should inform the team when booking, as the crew will try to accommodate reasonable requests. While options are limited to light snacks, they are prepared fresh and aim to enhance your experience without needing additional arrangements.
It’s important to arrive on time as tours cannot accommodate late arrivals. Boats operate on strict schedules, and missing the start time means the tour may depart without you to stay on schedule.
We recommend leaving plenty of time to reach the meeting point, considering traffic, public transport, or other delays. Checking the location in advance and planning accordingly helps ensure you don’t miss any part of the experience.
Safety is a top priority. All boats are commercially certified and regularly inspected to meet strict maritime standards. Professional skippers handle navigation, and a well-stocked medical kit is kept onboard. The tour route stays close to the coast for additional safety and emergency access.
Weather conditions are constantly monitored. If conditions become unsafe, the tour will be rescheduled or cancelled to prevent any risk to passengers. Passengers are also briefed on safety procedures at the start of the tour, and life jackets are provided for everyone.
Pets are not permitted on this sailing activity to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers. The boats are designed to accommodate a specific number of human passengers, and adding pets could disrupt safety and space.
If you would like to bring a pet along, consider alternative options such as arranging care onshore or looking into pet-friendly excursions in the area. This ensures you can still enjoy your sailing experience without worrying about your pet’s welfare.
Tours only get cancelled in rare circumstances, usually due to unsafe weather conditions or operational issues. In such cases, you will be notified as early as possible so you can adjust your plans without stress. Safety is always prioritised, so cancellations are done to ensure everyone on board remains secure.
If the activity is cancelled, you will be offered the option to reschedule for another available date or receive a full refund. This ensures you don’t miss out on the experience entirely, and gives flexibility in case your schedule changes.
