Step off Port Olímpic for a private two‑hour sail along Barcelona’s coastline — drink cava, swim off the bow when conditions allow, and watch the city’s skyline, including the Sagrada Família, drift by from the sea.

History
Port Olímpic and the current waterfront were redeveloped for the 1992 Olympics, transforming Barcelona’s industrial coastline into a leisure marina that opened the city to sea‑based recreation.
Conservation
The coastal waters off Barcelona contain Posidonia seagrass beds; avoid anchoring on dense seagrass, use reef‑safe sunscreen, and follow the captain’s guidance to minimize disturbance.

Arrive early for boarding
Plan to arrive 15–20 minutes before departure at berth 1527 (look for the SAMUI) to check in and board calmly.
Sun protection is essential
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses — the sun reflects strongly off water even on mild days.
Be ready to swim safely
If you plan to swim, confirm conditions with the skipper and use the ladder; currents can be stronger slightly offshore.
Bring ID for alcohol service
Alcohol (cava) is served to guests over 18 — carry valid ID to confirm age if you plan to drink.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects skin and local seagrass (Posidonia) while spending extended time on deck.
