More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb aboard beneath the two tall landmarks of Port Olímpic — Hotel Arts and the Mapfre Tower — and the city eases away behind you. The skipper unties the lines; the boat slips along the Mediterranean with the low, urban profile of Barceloneta giving way to open blue. A chilled glass of Cava is handed over as the skyline frames Montjuïc and the W Hotel like punctuation marks along the coast.

History
Port Olímpic was developed for the 1992 Olympic Games, transforming a working coast into the recreational harbor seen today and opening Barcelona’s shoreline to tourism and leisure boating.
Conservation
Keep waste off the water and follow skipper instructions to avoid disturbing marine life; Mediterranean coastal zones are sensitive to anchoring in posidonia seagrass meadows.
