Detailed itinerary

Your sailing experience starts here. Out yacht is moored in the heart of Barcelona. Your skipper will meet you at the gate of the marina, before welcoming you aboard your boat. A quick safety briefing and a welcome drink and we are off.

Stop 2

As soon as you leave the marina, the skipper will head left and take you up the coast past the iconic W Hotel and the beach of Barceloneta. Pour yourself another drink and enjoy the views of Montjuïc from the sea.

Continue on up the coast of Barcelona and take in the views of the Sagrada Familia in the distance and the skyline of the city. Time for another glass of Cava?

The second half of your sailing trip takes you out to sea. Now is the time to take the helm, and help trim the sails. Or just lay back and enjoy the breeze and the sound of the water rushing past the hull. Weather permitting, you will also have the chance to do a bit of open water swimming. Nothing beats the feeling of jumping off a yacht into the deep blue of the open sea.

It's finally time to head back to port. We'll arrive with a last glass of Cava or cold beer. Close by to the marina are a host of cool bars and restaurants to relax in.
