We absolutely LOVED our experience!!!!! Maria was the absolute best! She kept our drinks full, made sure we got the most out of our tour, and even went out of her way to make sure we captured great photos of our experience! Highly recommend!

Jose was awesome a wonderful captain, kind and encouraged us to jump into the ocean. He made our trip special and was proactively asking to take pictures of us and making sure we just really had a great time.

Natalia_A, Dec 2023
The experience was great! Our capitan was Manuel, he was very kind and professional. We enjoyed the views of Barcelona and had great tapas and cava.

Extraordinary!
I have never had such a wonderful experience. Thanks to the captain's warm hospitality and the receptionist who is proficient in five languages, I strongly recommend that you must experience this trip when you go to Barcelona. The four of us agreed that it was the best project for the trip.

It was great to be out on a sailing boat on the Mediterranean Sea no complaints there! Our only distraction was the name of the experience was Vermut Sailing trip but we weren’t offered Vermut originally. We thought we might get to enjoy the beverage in an interesting way but it was nearly non-existent.

Violeta did a wonderful job and made us all feel save (especially my mum who was a bit worried before!), I could have stayed on board for longer and will surely repeat!! Booking the private tour was so worth it!
Kristyna_P, Jul 2023
Pleasant opportunity to see Barcelona from the water. Unfortunately the weather was windy so we spent most of the time around the shore and port area. However the captain was very knowledgeable and the boat was beautiful. Light snacks including fruit, sandwiches, and pastries were provided with abundant beverage choices.

Manu was a great host and fun to chat with. He knew all the buildings we asked him about and he took us close to the New Zealand sailing team who were out training so we could have a quick look. Luckily there was a cool breeze because we arranged a midday cruise in the heart of summer. We were offered drinks and savoury snacks on a platter and enjoyed the calm and peace of the sea.
Michelle_J, Jul 2023
I took this boat excursion with a friend and we both had a great time. Our boat captain was attentive, took pictures, and ensured we had enough drinks and snacks.

Signed up for this tour expecting a relaxing sailing tour and got everything but that.
You’d expect to be able to sit down and relax with some snacks and drinks right? Wrong, we spent the entire trip getting yelled at by the skipper to stay on the sides of the bow and switch sides as needed for weight distribution. This could have been more understandable if the skipper was having a tough time with the boat, but the best part is that we had to stay there because 2 passengers had “sailing experience” so he just let them sail the boat the whole time at our expense.
Can’t believe that we paid $100 just for two middle aged men to have a sailing experience while the rest of us passengers got yelled at to move quickly so we could keep the weight distributed. Other passengers were clearly uncomfortable with having to move yo the bow while the boat was moving, but the skipper still yelled at them to move up there. Just awful.
I cannot emphasize enough how miserable of an experience this was and I will be expecting the company to refund our money because we did not pay to be the weight distribution system for someone else’s sailing experience.

We had a great time! Sergio was our captain and he was awsome. We had a good conversation with him while sailing. Recommended!
Sebastian_B, Jun 2023
Such an amazing experience!! 🤩
Had a wonderful time on board.
The Skipper was friendly and we got as much drinks as we wanted
Scott_R, Apr 2023
Friendly and attentive skipper. Listened to music on board and had delicious snacks and drinks. Would recommend
Natalie_H, Mar 2023
Our boat ride was BEAUTIFUL. We loved the cava, cheese and olives, and pretty music! We were even able to bring our own snacks and drinks as well. Captain Violeta was fantastic and answered all of our questions about Barcelona and sailing!! She was kind enough to take our pictures in the front of the boat as well. 100% worth the money. We want her to be our best friend!
Aly_C, Mar 2023
We had the ‘Spaghetti Captain’ Marcello and he was AMAZING!!! The drinks were flowing and the energy was fantastic - also he is a fantastic sailor which made it all the more enjoyable. Would 1000% recommend
Lisa_R, Nov 2022
The trip with Violeta (skipper) and Pablo (guitar player) was wonderful. The trip went longer than expected and we had a lovely sunset view, wonderful guitar playing, plentiful drinks and snacks. Recommend for a relaxing trip cruising close to Barcelona.
Robert_K, Sep 2022
Absolutely great time for getting a new perspective on the city skyline without any hassles. Seemed we were on the water longer than the trip time would suggest (in a good way). Cap’n Martin was hospitable and the drinks and snack plate were generous. Thank you!
Elia_S, Aug 2022
Despite no vermut and no snacks, it was great! The skipper was really busy and should have had someone helping him. Great guy, captain ‘Spaghetti’.
Nely_C, Aug 2022
We took a quick 1.5 hr. ride. Our host/skipper, Mariam, was great. She was nice and pleasant, and even took pics for us.
Becki_H, Aug 2022
So much more than we were expecting! An amazingly chilled and beautiful way to see Barcelona from a completely different perspective. This was my fifth trip to Barcelona and there is so much to see and do, that I try not to do the same thing twice. This however will be the exception! I can't wait to do it again next year.
Cristina_Z, Jul 2022
We had a great time on the boat with Maria. She was incredible with our two kids (4 and 5). She kept them entertained alongside us, talked about Barcelona and managed to give attention to all the passengers including one that got sick. It was definitely a trip highlight.
It was too choppy to go in the water which was fine, our only intention was to sail around, relax and enjoy.
If you get motion sickness, you may not want to go if it's a choppy day.
Paul_F, Jul 2022
Terribly boring. Other than being offered a drink, no words were spoken. Traveling solo, I sat at the back of the boat while the captain engaged with the other guests.
Started counting the minutes till it was over. Will not travel again or recommend.
Marzanna_K, May 2022
The experience was Amazing. Enjoyed every bit of it and the capitan truly made the experience memable.
Lorraine_H, May 2022
The peace and tranquillity the rapport and friendliness of Eduardo and how he involved novice sailors to feel confident and at ease.
Neil_A, Mar 2022
We had an amazing time on our afternoon sail! Eduardo was an amazing captain and provided drinks and snacks. We loved the chance to be on the water and met some very fun people. Eduardo provided blankets and we were warm and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend.
David_D, Dec 2021
Such a great time o n the water. Our captain was FANTASTIC, knowledgeable and a real treasure for he company.
The fellow passengers were fun to be with, what a great way to meet people from different cultures.
Jas_J, Oct 2021
I'm scared of boats! But I was a loving daughter and came with my mum!! We had the best time. It was fun and relaxed and our sailor was a pleasure to be around. I definitely recommend this
Edward_W, Sep 2021
The weather was perfect. And it's quite an experience to see Barcelona from the sea. I suggest not staying in your seats. Check out the bow/front of the boat. It was too crowded with 7 passengers and the skipper too. Keep in mind, I added a guest at the last minute; but they accommodated my request. So thank you.
