Discover the Catalan capital from the water on a luxury Oceanis 41 yacht with a professional skipper


This Barcelona sailing trip offers a genuine two-hour voyage along one of the Mediterranean's most iconic coastlines, departing from Port Vell aboard a 12-metre Oceanis 41 yacht with small group sizes and a professional skipper on board.

How the Sail Unfolds

1
Departure from Port Vell

The trip begins at Port Vell, Barcelona's main harbour, where tall ships, superyachts, cruise liners and ferries create a lively and atmospheric send-off. Guests board the Oceanis 41 and the skipper briefs the group before casting off.

2
Views of the Cathedral from the Sea

Once out on the open water, the Barcelona Cathedral and the city's distinctive roofline come into full view from an angle few visitors ever experience. This is a natural point for photographs and for appreciating the scale of the city.

3
Sailing Past Barceloneta Beach

The yacht passes closely along Barceloneta, the city's most famous urban beach, offering a tranquil contrast to the crowds gathered on the shore. Guests can relax on deck with drinks and snacks as the coastline slides by.

4
Heading Towards Port Olimpic

Following the wind, the route continues past the main beach zones towards Port Olimpic, the marina built for the 1992 Olympic Games. The sailing here allows for an active role if guests wish to assist with the rigging and lines.

5
Open-Sea Swim Stop (Weather Permitting)

On days when conditions are calm, the skipper anchors the yacht for a swim in the Mediterranean Sea. This is an optional highlight that adds a refreshing and memorable dimension to the experience.
