The engine rumbles, the city slides aft and Barcelona’s stone profile opens up like a map. From the Super Yacht Marina you thread past hulking megayachts, skim alongside the Columbus monument and then the pilot noses the RIB toward open water. Salt sprays against your face; the skyline tilts and the boat finds speed.

Secure your valuables
Use a waterproof case or leave loose items ashore — high-speed turns throw spray and can dislodge phones.

Open-deck speeds feel cold even on warm days; a lightweight windbreaker makes the stop and return comfortable.
Swim-ready if warm
Pack a swimsuit and towel — the skipper may offer a short swim stop on hot summer days.

If you’re prone to sea sickness, take medication before boarding and sit near the center of the boat.
