2-Hour Sailing Tour in Barcelona with Open Bar and Snacks

A small-group voyage along the Mediterranean with open sea swimming, complimentary drinks, and sweeping views of the Barcelona skyline.


A Barcelona sailing tour like this one offers a rare chance to see the city from the water, far from the crowds and noise, aboard a modern yacht with no more than eight fellow travelers beside you.

Departing from Port Olímpic, one of the most storied marinas in Spain and the original venue of the 1992 Olympic sailing competitions, this shared voyage takes you along the sun-drenched Catalan coastline with a professional skipper at the helm. The small group format keeps the experience personal and unhurried.

Along the route, the yacht pauses for an open-sea swim, giving passengers a genuine taste of the Mediterranean beyond the shoreline. Complimentary drinks and a light snack are served on board, and on favorable days, dolphins and whales have been spotted in these waters.

The journey provides unobstructed views of iconic landmarks visible from the sea, including the Barceloneta waterfront, the twin towers of Mapfre and Hotel Arts, Port Vell, and the distant silhouette of Tibidabo crowning the city hills.

Tour Highlights

Open-sea swimming stop in the Mediterranean, away from the crowded beaches.

Complimentary drink and light snack included throughout the sailing experience.

Maximum of 9 passengers for a genuinely intimate and personalized atmosphere on board.

Guided by a professional skipper with expert knowledge of the Barcelona coastline.

Possibility to spot dolphins or whales during the open-sea portion of the route.
