We went out on the Cindy Lou with Marcos and had an amazing day on the water. Marcos was a very skilled and experienced captain, he was funny and chill and rolled with our mixed group of 12 people from all around the world. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to get out on the water!

We had a great time! Our captain, Sergio, was awesome and he even let my friends mom drive the boat. It was beautiful, we got cava and some snacks as well.

Wonderful and fabulous experience! Perfect!
My 19 year old daughter she her friend and I thoroughly enjoyed!!!

I was very nervous to go by myself but Marco really set the tone between me and the rest of the guest on board. I had such a great time and was able to really take in this once in a lifetime moment . I booked the 8pm tour and I think it was just perfect !! The cava was a nice touch as well lol
Jade_M, May 2026
Booked this experience the day of after a different boat tour provider cancelled on me. Marco was a great and friendly captain, drinks were great, boat was comfortable, and it happened to be a very windy day when I went and they had warm blankets provided which was great since I ended up being a bit underdressed. Provider was communicative when moving the time to catch the sunset, which was definitely worth it - Barcelona at golden hour is gorgeous. Overall a very relaxed and fun boat ride!

A little difficult to locate the boat to start with - there wasn't one at the mooring no. given.
Found them after asking a couple of people. They couldn't initially find our booking as we'd booked ages ago and they had changed systems which hadn't synced properly.
However all resolved and taken on fantastic private 2 hour trip, just for the 2 of us, by a super skipper who even allowed us a brief turn at the wheel!

It was our last night in Spain and wanted to end our trip doing something special and so we decided to do the 7:00 pm Sailing in Barcelona and so glad we chose to do this. It was perfect. Our captain was super friendly and had a good sense of humor. Highly recommend.

This was a terrific experience. The weather was terrific. Our captain, David, was very informative. He pointed out many of the highlights of the city. The wine and cheese were also fantastic.

My daughter and I had an amazing time. The captain of Maggie worked so hard to make the time enjoyable. We had some swells, which made sailing great but no swimming. Not a problem. She was very personal and just a wonderful start to our morning in Barcelona. Highly recommended

We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again someday.

Alesio was our captain and tour guide for the 2 hour excursion. He provided plenty of Cava and snacks and also allowed us the time to take a dip in the sea. It was a fun-filled boat tour and one I will never forget.

Laurie_M, Jul 2025
Horrible! Got to the boat and it was completely packed. Not room for but maybe 1 more person. The captain called someone and then told us it would be refunded. It was never refunded and had to file fraud charges.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for your feedback, Laurie. You originally booked the tour for 3 people but arrived with 5. Unfortunately, there was no space on the boat for the additional guests, and we explained this to you at that time. We also offered you the opportunity to join the tour the following morning when we had availability, but we did not receive a response. As noted in our policy, refunds are not possible in this situation. It is essential to book the correct number of spots in advance, as it is nearly impossible to accommodate extra participants at the last minute.
Celine_P, Jul 2025

This is a great activity to kick off your Barcelona experience. The captain is courteous and provides interesting tidbits about the city. And you get a panoramic view of the city from the Mediterranean. Finally, they offer complimentary beer, cava, and delicious snacks related to the Catalonia region.

Do not booked this tour.. horrible
We called to cancel the day before
Olga was rude and took my money after saying she canceled it
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you, Jill. We were expecting your review. You arrived very late for the public tour and threatened to leave a bad review if I didn’t issue a refund—which is exactly what you did. When booking a public tour, it’s important to understand that other guests are also involved, and being on time is essential. Otherwise, you’re wasting everyone else’s time. And obviously, there is no refund for being late.

What a lovely way to spend 2 hours on a beautiful Sunday. There were only 6 of us on the boat, our captain Allessios was lovely. Super chill, relaxing, perfect day. A few went swimming including my husband and the water as 24 degrees - not bad for October! The cava was flowing, there were a few simple snacks which fit the bill perfectly. Highly recommend. We are here for 3 months and I would honestly do it again!
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a relaxing and enjoyable time with Captain Allessios. It sounds like the perfect Sunday – swimming, great company, cava, and beautiful weather! We’re so glad you appreciated the snacks and overall vibe on board. We’d love to welcome you back anytime during your stay – here’s to more amazing moments on the water!
