The boat slips out from Port Olímpic as the city exhales the last heat of day — the W Hotel cuts a clean silhouette, waves lap the hull, and the skyline begins to warm into ochre. On a 90‑minute sunset sail you’ll move slowly along Barcelona’s coast, the captain trimming sails and inviting guests to take the wheel while the city’s landmarks slide into view: the Columbus Monument, Agbar Tower, Montjuïc and the distant outline of Tibidabo.
