More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The hull cuts clean through Mediterranean blue as Barcelona slides past — Gaudí’s Sagrada Família peeking over rooftops, Montjuïc’s stone rising to the south, and the Columbus column marking the old port. On board Sylvana, a 15‑meter sloop, the sea becomes a different map of the city: wind on your face, a skipper calling maneuvers, and the option to take the helm or stretch out on the deck and sunbathe.

Arrive Early to Board
Port Vell has limited boarding docks; arrive 15–20 minutes early to find the operator and get settled before departure.
Dress in Layers
The breeze off the sea is often much cooler than the city — a windbreaker or light fleece keeps you comfortable.
Wear Non‑Slip Shoes
Decks can be wet; shoes with good grip prevent slips during boarding and while moving around.
Bring Motion‑Sickness Remedies
Even on calm days, some passengers feel queasy—ginger candy or medication helps most people enjoy the trip.

Protects against the cool sea breeze, especially in mornings and evenings.
