Short sail along the Barcelona sea front. Clean and well maintained seaworthy yacht which had lots of sitting areas. Easy to find some shade or a seat to soak up the sun. Clear and easy to follow pick up point information. Very good value for money overall. Would do it again on another holiday to the area.
It’s a great process to have a boat ride to see Barcelona form the water.
Plus the drinks

it was a great experience, drinks were not easily accessible although i had an unlimited voucher. We were upstairs and it was hard to move downstairs to get any drinks. So we had no drinks
Beautiful views and a very friendly crew made this experience extremely worthwhile. We ended up buying a bottle of kava on the boat, which was very affordable and made the experience feel premium. We were also three of about ten people on the boat total, so it felt like a high-end, private experience.
The 18.15 tout in August was extremely hot...no.aircondition inside...the boat was beautiful but we didn't see anything...Just.went outside the port and get back after 1.5h
...no explanations from the microphones and basically just getting inside ..not in parallel with the coast ...
Such a relaxing and fun experience for the price! Staff were super friendly and the open bar was a plus!
Badly organized, also changed last minute from aperol boat experience to only “local tapa” experience. When we booked it said aperol included and the day before we noticed they changed the name but not on the URL. It’s obvious they just decided to remove it. The boat itself is nice, but the experience is not worth the money. You spend 1.5h at sea, with very low music, the atmosphere is very average, the staff wasn’t friendly and overall the experience is not worth it. Wouldn’t recommend.
This was a really nice trip. A nice, peaceful break from the busier sidewalks and the heat. Beautiful views, smooth sailing, pleasant company.
It was mostly what I expected! Lovely spacious sailboat with lots of space to move around! Provided us with warm small sandwich right away but never was offered our free beverage with it! We sat on top and it was beautiful! Recommend If you are looking for a nice relaxing quiet sailing this is perfect for that! Nice view of Barcelona coastline!
The boat canceled the tour at the last minute due to underbooked quantity, the tour company offered a replacement tour. The replacement tour was underwhelming and bland.
Easy to reserve online. Just present your online reservation QR code at the ticket box and get your paper ticket.
Smooth boat ride with a professional crew and amazing views.
We canceled 24 hours in advance and still no response. Viator ask for review but doesn’t answer their phone to give me back my money.

I expected to cruise the harbour area but we just headed out to sea and hit some fairly rough weather resulting in both my husband and I feeling extremely ill.

Dear Anne_M,
Thank you for sahring your experience,
It saddens me to learn that the experience was not satisfactory, please note the boat itinerary is informed to all agencies.
Sincerely,
The boat ride was incredible! It was just what we needed after a long travel day. We got our Aperol spritz which hit the spot, but we never got our tapas. We asked but the guy on the boat didn’t seem to have any idea what we were talking about. However, in the description, it says that we should get a drink, which we got and tapas, which we didn’t get. So, nice boat ride, but we didn’t get everything we paid for. So disappointing for that part.

Dear bernergirl27
Thank you for sharing this review,
I regret to learn that you were not correctly informed by your agency as the Sailing Cruise by Aperol does no longer include a tapa.
Best regards
This was an excellent short cruise from Barcelona, the boat was comfortable and well equipped and staff were very friendly.
The boat had music/radio playing but no one was playing live. The route was beautiful but no one explained what we were looking at or anything. Everyone got one cup of aperol spritz and that was it. No one came around to offer another round for free or for sale- i guess there was a bar downstairs but we were too nervous to climb down the stairs while the boat was moving. Pretty much just sat down in the same spot for 90 minutes and then got off. Boat was clean and left on time and returned on time!

Dear Tracy K,
Thank you for sharing this review.
I am glad to learn that you enjoyed the Wooden cruise by Aperol Spritz.
The experience includes indeed one drink per person. The bar is located on the main floor for those who would like to have any other drink or snack.
Best regards,
Booking through Viator there was non option to download the tickets. Tried from the email and the app and nothing worked. We got there early to try and resolve the issue and the first person who tried to help us held on to my phone for 15 minutes and couldn’t understand why the tickets weren’t downloading before just passing us along to someone who was not willing to help just kept saying “no” without even knowing what the issue was, asking us for our booking and confirmation number. It wasnt until we got upset considering that we bought the tickets a month ago and had confirmation on the app and email that finally they said “maybe we can check another way” finally acknowledged our last name and booking number and instantly was able to find us in the system and print our tickets. We were finally able to get on and were the last ones to board causing there to be no good seats left for us.

Please bear in mind that all customers must show a complete valid voucher to attend the activity, all agencies are informed about this detail.
Sincerely,
Fantastic experience for anyone, solo or with others! Beautiful trip down the sea side of Barcelona, listening to great with lovely libations.
It is wonderful to sail the Mediterranean Sea! Do it! Amazing to see Barcelona for the sea. However, this sailboat is pretty but the journey is by engine, not by sailing. The staff did not interact and no tourist information was provided about any of the landmarks or history. Visitor sold us this trip including’a drink and tapa’. However when we checked in they told us there was a ‘booking mistake’, and no free drink or tapa would be provided. Beware! Still glad we took the trip! A nice break from all the walking through Barcelona.

I am glad to leran that you enjoyed the trip on the Wooden boat, even though tit didn't live up entirely to your expectations,
Best regards,
Relaxing and spacious, with a great view of the Barcelona skyline! Snacks, drinks and toilet available:)
When I checked in for my boat ride, I was told that there was never a boat and I shouldn’t have been able to book the trip. However, I still received confirmation from Viator that the trip was still on. This should have been confirmed through the actual boat company. Do not recommend this at all

Please bear in mind, as we answer your mail, to request a refund you need to contact your agency. Nevertheless, we will contact them, so they can assist you in this matter.
Sincerely,
Exciting experience. Very friendly people and great service. I Will recommend this to anyone. 5 star experience
The experience and ride was amazing. The staff was nice and friendly. The boat was fun to sit on the lil deck part. You may get a splash of the sea of you in the front lol. It was fun to be on and would recommend.
On the day of our experience there was torrential rain throughout the period leading up to the trip and during the time the trip was taking place. We asked to reschedule our trip but received a generic reply that there would be no cancellations. Decided to give it a miss as sitting on a boat in a storm did not appeal. Better to book on the day when you know the weather will be OK because it appears that nothing, even biblical floods, will stop that boat going out to sea!
