A bright ribbon of seawater slides past the hull as you step aboard SAMUI at Port Olímpic. Salted air cuts through the city heat; the skipper casts off and the Mediterranean opens, offering a new perspective on Barcelona’s skyline. Buildings tilt and breathe differently from the sea — Gaudí’s Sagrada Família rising like a carved spire, Montjuïc’s green flank and the Olympic towers shrinking toward the shore.

Barcelona’s waterfront was transformed for the 1992 Olympics, creating the marina at Port Olímpic and shifting the city’s relationship with its coastline from industrial port to recreational hub.
Conservation
Keep distant from sensitive rocky outcrops when swimming and avoid discarding waste; anchoring is managed to prevent damage to seabeds and posidonia meadows farther offshore.
