1h Refreshing Sailing Tour in Barcelona with Open Bar & Snacks
Set sail along the Mediterranean coast with a small group, a professional skipper, and the Barcelona skyline as your backdrop.
This Barcelona sailing tour offers a one-hour shared voyage aboard a modern yacht, departing from the historic Port Olímpic with a maximum of nine passengers for an intimate experience on the water. The tour includes a complimentary drink, a light snack, and a stop for an open-sea swim — all within sight of one of Europe's most celebrated city skylines.
Departing from Port Olímpic, a marina with deep roots in the 1992 Olympic Games and framed by the landmark Mapfre Tower and Hotel Arts, the experience trades Barcelona's busy streets for a calm stretch of the Mediterranean. The yacht sails along the coastline, offering wide-angle views of Barceloneta Beach, Port Vell, and the city's layered urban landscape rising toward Tibidabo.
The group size is deliberately kept to a maximum of nine travelers, allowing the skipper to engage personally with everyone on board. Fellow passengers typically come from all corners of the world, making the journey as socially engaging as it is scenic.
During the sail, the yacht pauses at a point in the open sea where passengers are welcome to swim. In certain seasons, it is also possible to encounter dolphins or whales along this stretch of the Catalan coast.

Tour Itinerary
The tour begins at Port Olímpic, the marina built in 1990 and famously used for sailing competitions during the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Located between the Mapfre Tower and the Hotel Arts — with Frank Gehry's gold fish sculpture nearby — it is a convenient and visually striking starting point in the heart of the city.
Once aboard, the skipper sets course along the Barcelona coastline, giving passengers a sea-level perspective of the city. The yacht passes in front of Barceloneta Beach and the Port Vell waterfront, offering unobstructed views of the urban landscape.
As the yacht moves through the Mediterranean, the complimentary drink and light snack are served on deck. This is a relaxed moment to take in the sea breeze, the sunshine, and the receding skyline from a comfortable position on the water.
The yacht pauses at a selected point in the open sea, where passengers are invited to swim directly from the boat. Depending on the season and conditions, this area of the Catalan coast is also known for occasional dolphin and whale sightings.
After the swim stop, the skipper heads back toward the marina, completing the coastal loop and returning passengers to the Port Olímpic base. The one-hour tour concludes at the same departure point, conveniently located in central Barcelona.
