Step aboard a private yacht for a relaxed 4-hour midday cruise along Barcelona’s coastline. With the yacht and crew entirely for your group, you can swim, sunbathe, or simply enjoy the scenery at your own pace. Open bar drinks, light snacks, and attentive crew service make it ideal for families, friends, or small celebrations.
Begin your cruise at Port Vell Marina, where the crew welcomes you with a safety briefing, introductions to the yacht’s facilities, and an overview of the day’s itinerary. Once on the water, the yacht will gently navigate along the Barcelona coastline, offering views of iconic landmarks such as Barceloneta Beach, the W Hotel, and the Olympic Port, while providing ample opportunities for photography.
During the journey, the skipper may anchor in calm offshore waters, lowering the swim platform so guests can enjoy a leisurely swim in the Mediterranean. Alternatively, relax on deck, sip premium wines or beers, and enjoy light local snacks while basking in the sun. Throughout the cruise, the crew shares local knowledge about landmarks, the harbour, and marine life, offering a rich and engaging insight into Barcelona’s maritime culture.
The longer duration allows for a more immersive experience: guests can explore different areas of the coast, take their time swimming, or even have an onboard picnic prepared from fresh local produce. The combination of private space, attentive service, and open-air comfort makes this a perfect way to spend a long midday on the water.
The meeting point is on the street directly in front of Restaurant MOLO39 at Plaça de Pau Vila 39, 08039 Barcelona. Guests should wait outside at street level — not on the terrace — as this is the only place the crew can meet you. The spot sits on the south side of Palau de Mar, just before the restaurant entrance, making it easy to identify when approaching the square. Please avoid going inside the restaurant or walking into the marina so the team can find you quickly.
After meeting you here, the crew will guide you to the nearby marina for boarding. Departures take place from this central waterfront area, giving direct access to the harbour and open water beyond. The cruise then follows Barcelona’s coastline for several miles, with clear views of beaches, modern architecture, and well-known shoreline landmarks. The sheltered harbour supports smooth boarding, while the coastline offers a comfortable route for relaxing, sightseeing, and taking photos.
Guests should be comfortable walking on deck and able to follow the crew’s guidance. Swimming is optional and fully supervised if you choose to use the yacht’s bathing platform.
Sun protection is recommended, including hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Non-slip shoes are advised for safety, and towels or swimsuits should be brought if you plan to swim. Personal items like cameras, small bags, or light jackets can enhance comfort onboard.
The yachts are modern, spacious, and designed for comfort, with ample deck space, shaded areas, and facilities to accommodate small private groups. Seating, sunbathing, and refreshment areas allow guests to fully relax while enjoying the Mediterranean scenery.
Professional RYA-certified skippers and crew combine technical sailing expertise with attentive hospitality. They handle all navigation and operations while providing insights into landmarks, marine life, and local culture. The private charter ensures personalised service and flexibility, allowing your group to set the pace, choose activities, and make the most of your time on the water.
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.
Yes, the open bar and light snacks are available throughout the cruise. Snacks include olives, jamón, cheese, and crisps, along with wines, cava, beer, and soft drinks.
Guests with dietary restrictions should inform the crew in advance. While options are limited to the provided snacks and drinks, the crew will accommodate reasonable requests whenever possible.
Children are welcome on board and are considered full passengers. The number of spots is limited, so all passengers—including infants—need to be registered and paid for to guarantee a safe and comfortable experience.
Parents should ensure children are supervised at all times and are comfortable around water. Life jackets are provided for all passengers, including children, to maintain safety standards throughout the tour.
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.
No prior sailing experience is necessary. The skipper handles all navigation and operations, while the crew ensures safety and comfort throughout the cruise. Guests can relax, swim, or participate in light sailing tasks if desired.
Safety instructions and a full briefing are given before departure. Life jackets are available, and guidance on deck movement, refreshments, and swimming is provided. The calm waters at midday ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
