A relaxed one-hour sail from Port Olímpic with an open bar, snacks and room for only nine guests. Glide past Barcelona’s Olympic waterfront, pause for a swim when conditions allow, and scan for dolphins against a skyline of modern towers.

Salt spray and the city skyline unfold as a low-profile modern sloop slips out of Port Olímpic. Participants settle onto soft cockpit cushions while the skipper eases the sails and the Mediterranean breeze teases the rigging. In an hour the boat traces the arc of Barcelona’s seafront: the twin towers by the Olympic Village, the changing sheen of Frank Gehry’s golden fish, and the long sweep of Barceloneta.

History
Barcelona’s seafront was radically redeveloped for the 1992 Olympic Games, transforming an industrial coastline into the modern marina, Olympic Village and public beaches travelers see today.
Conservation
Operators typically follow no-trace practices; avoid feeding wildlife, dispose of waste in onboard bins, and favor tours that minimize engine idling to reduce local disturbance.

Arrive early
Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes before departure at Port Olímpic to board smoothly and get settled on cushions.
Sun protection
Bring high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat — the sun reflects strongly off the water even on cool days.
Bring swimwear and a towel
If you want to swim, pack swimwear under your clothes and a compact towel; the crew may allow a short dip if conditions are calm.
Consider seasickness prevention
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventive meds or use acupressure bands — the trip is short but the swell can be unpredictable.
Sunscreen
Protects skin from intense reflected sunlight on the open water.
