The boat slips away from Port Olímpic and the city's edge loosens — tiled promenades, palm trees and concrete give way to open blue. Passengers settle at the rail as the skyline recedes, Sagrada Família and the Columbus column flatten into a coastal silhouette while the Mediterranean draws closer, its surface catching light like coin.

Bring swimwear and towel
If you plan to jump in, pack a swimsuit and quick-dry towel; changing facilities are limited.
Protect against sun
Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat make two hours on deck much more comfortable even on overcast days.
Stabilize for movement
Wear flat, non-slip shoes and brace when the boat heels; small groups mean limited rail room.
Book early for sunset
Evening departures fill quickly — reserve sunset times early for best light and cooler temperatures.
Swimsuit
For optional open-water swims when the skipper allows it.

Towel
Quick-dry towel for drying off after a swim or protecting from wind.
