Great experience, yummy drinks and food. Our captains were entertaining and worked hard to make the experience one to remember. We even saw some dolphins! Definitely worth it.

The staff was very kind. The size of the boat was perfect for the amount of people there was around 18-20 of us but plenty of seating. Smooth sail out to the water and swimming was very nice too!

Had an amazing time on our boat cruise with Captain Christian and First Mate Sandra! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience smooth and fun from start to finish. The views were stunning, the ride was relaxing, and their energy made it even better. Highly recommend this crew if you’re looking for a memorable day on the water!

Great experience, yummy...

Great experience, yummy drinks and food. Our captains were entertaining and worked hard to make the experience one to remember. We even saw some dolphins! Definitely worth it.

Really friendly crew...

Michael_C, Sep 2026
Really friendly crew takes care of the food, drink, and sailing. There are 30 minutes allotted to swimming if you're wanting to do that. This was early September and a lot of folks jumped in.

The staff was very kind....

Essence_H, Aug 2026
The staff was very kind. The size of the boat was perfect for the amount of people there was around 18-20 of us but plenty of seating. Smooth sail out to the water and swimming was very nice too!

Misleading advertising

Nick_C, Aug 2026
This is NOT a private or small group tour. The viator description is misleading. The included Tapas are 1 bite. We have done tours for similar price that was more private and inclusive of drinks and food. I do not recommend this tour at all. The “tour” was a fairly quick boat ride and not worth the money. The captain was not friendly and very rude at the end but the boat hand was great.

Family summer time sailing

Israel_F, Jul 2026
Great activity for summer time, traveled with grandparents and 2 kids (8 & 5yrs). Boat ride was nice, great breeze, crew onboard was very nice and attentive. Got to jump in the waters for a bit (there are life vests for the kids), and then headed home. Great experience that will not burn your whole day …and the marina is right by the beach, if you choose to get a bit more time in the sea

We enjoyed parts of this...

Angela_W, Jul 2026
We enjoyed parts of this but overall it was not as advertised. Only we’re allowed to swim for 10 minutes and there were no fun floaties. The tapas were minimal. Staff was friendly but the fact that you’re sharing the boat with 25 other people made it feel a bit crowded.

Good boat trip but not much food

Barbara_B, Jun 2026
Lovely boat trip with a swim stop, had a a glass of cava, but only one very small piece of tortilla so eat first!

We did the daytime option...

Kristi_L, Jun 2026
We did the daytime option and it was wonderful! The crew was amazing and we got a chance to jump in and swim! Super relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

Tapas? More like just a “tapa” lol

Dianna_M, Jun 2026
The reason why I paid a little extra for this experience was because it came with “tapas.” I just wanted to let you guys know that you are given only 1 piece of a cold potato pie. I was a little upset because there are cheaper boat options available. Aside from being upset about the “tapas” it was a lovely time and the employees of the boat were very sweet!

Save your money

Vicki_L, Jun 2026
The boat was crowded. The catamaran allowed only 6 individuals to ride in the front. There was no rotation of people so the same 6 sat the entire time while others scrambled to find spots to lay in the sun. Additionally, the advertisement made it appear as though drinks (nonalcoholic) were plentiful. I had to pay €12 for four waters. I would not recommend this excursion to my friends. Definitely not worth the money in my opinion.

They give the opportunity...

Kathryn_V, May 2026
They give the opportunity to swim in the ocean for 30 minutes. Staff were personable and focused on making sure everyone was happy and enjoying themselves.

Such a nice day to lay on...

Lisa_S, May 2026
Such a nice day to lay on the boat/ jump into the water. There was no description of the skyline/ buildings like I expected but I still had a blast

No refund

Joaquin_J, May 2026
We got sent the wrong address and missed the time. We requested a refund and they just ignored us. Not a pleasant experience.

We loved the experience...

Gwennan_A, Mar 2026
We loved the experience however we do feel that the local tapas was a disappointment as we was expecting more than one Spanish omelette between 9 people. The staff friendly and helps us on board overall great experience but the food was a disappointment

Not really worth booking...

Annette_T, Oct 2025
Not really worth booking for evening tour. Food very minimal, lovely sunset but I chose the wrong night seas were rough

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Annette_T Thank you for sharing your feedback, I regret to learn that you were not satisfied with the Catamaran Cruise due to sea conditions, as it was more bumpy than you expected. Sincerely,

Economical catamaran ride

Bradley_P, Oct 2025
Nice to get out in the ocean on a non crowded catamaran. Allowed one drink and tapas was ok. Overall not expensive was to get out on a boat

Magical sunset

Melisa_B, Oct 2025
The catamaran trip was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the Mediterranean Sea. The gentle breeze and beautiful views of the coastline made for a relaxing experience. I appreciated the opportunity to swim in the crystal-clear waters and soak up the sun on deck. It was a fantastic way to see Barcelona from a different perspective. Don’t forget to bring your sunscreen and a camera!

Would not recommend

Jessica_O, Oct 2025
Extremely upset with this tour service. I tried messaging the tour operator 24 hours prior for assistance, they never responded. The day of our tour, there was a protest that took over all Barcelona and I kept trying to contact the tour operator repeatedly and they never responded. We left 2 hours prior to our meetup time and all forms of transportation failed due to the streets being closed. They declined to offer a refund , with their reason being we did not reach out 24 hours prior, when in fact we did and they still never responded.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Jessica_O, We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not go as planned and that you were unable to join the catamaran due to difficulties reaching the departure point. Please note our policy requires changes or cancellations to be requested at least 24 hours in advance. Best regards,

Complete scam

Tristan_V, Sep 2025
They sent the wrong address in the booking confirmation email and then rejected my refund request on Viator.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Tristan_V Thank you for sharing this review, I regret to learn that your agency didn't inform you correctly, please note all agencies receive the correct description including the exact location, Best regards

The sunset cruise was...

Polly_W, Sep 2025
The sunset cruise was more of a booze cruise than what we weee looking for. The boat cruised out for about 30 minutes then we just sat there.

The views were amazing...

laura_r, Sep 2025
The views were amazing and the boats crew were very friendly and knowledgeable! We had a great time!

Fun catamaran cruise of Barcelona harbour

Donna_M, Sep 2025
The cruise was fun, small catamaran fits about 20 people max. It poured rain so we only cruised the harbor, sea too choppy for swimming or high sea. Crew very qualified and attentive.

Worthwhile doing

Bridget_R, Sep 2025
This was everything I was hoping for. We had a wonderful couple of hours out on the Mediterranean. We put the sails up, caught a fish and had a swim. The crew were fantastic. We had a different perspective of Barcelona. We also met interesting people from around the world. Highly recommend!

Catamaran Ride - Barcelona

Cheryl_R, Aug 2025
Fun experience. Met fellow travelers and enjoyed the beautiful coastline ride. Definitely- worth doing as an afternoon trip.

Captain and first mate...

Care_S, Aug 2025
Captain and first mate were very nice and accommodating! Was an easy leisurely cruise with great views of the coast line.

Great time on the Med

Ryan_P, Aug 2025
Had a great time. The boat was large. There was plenty of room to stretch out. The drink's were nice and the swimming delightful! Would recommend!

This was the first Viator...

Marcus_G, Aug 2025
This was the first Viator trip we were disappointed with. It’s not advertised that that can swim. It says tapa is served - that it just a slice of tomato bread. The trip isn’t the coastline, Just a simple in and out and didn’t even last the full 2 hours. It was relaxing but underwhelming.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Marcus_G Thank you for sharing your experience, I regret to learn that you were not satisfied with the Catamaran Cruise, Sincerely

Nice trip

KATHRYN_M, Aug 2025
Lovely couple of hours up and down the Barcelona coast with a stop for a jump off the boat and a swim. Drinks are a can and tapas is tortilla (needed to be warmed all the way through- not just edges!), boat crew both lovely - all enjoyed!

Nice experience

Rebecca_S, Jul 2025
We enjoyed the ride. The sea was choppy and added some exhilaration to our experience. It was relaxing.

Review of the Catamaran Trip

Antonia_G, Jul 2025
The trip was a great experience overall! Unfortunately, it was a bit windy that day, so we weren’t allowed to go swimming. However, we were offered the option to reschedule for a day with better weather, which was really considerate. Despite that, the ride was beautiful and exciting. At one point, we went a bit further out into the sea and hit some fairly big waves – we got completely soaked, which was actually a lot of fun! The crew was super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Tip: Wear swimwear, as you can definitely get wet! Also, try to arrive about 15 minutes early at the meeting point.
