This was such a fun experience that I will recommend to anyone visiting Barcelona! Out captain for the trip was Federico and he was kind and very knowledgeable about the boat. The snacks on board were yummy and the drinks were flowing!

My friend and I booked this sunset cruise in Barcelona and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our trip! Marcelo, our captain, made the whole experience so fun and memorable and created a great atmosphere on board. The cruise itself was beautiful and felt very romantic, with stunning views of the Barcelona skyline as the sun set over the water. Even though we weren’t on a couples’ trip, we had an amazing time and really enjoyed connecting with the others on board. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Barcelona, it’s truly unforgettable!

Sunset cruise

Kiley_M, Apr 2026
Prepare to have the most fun and see stunning views. A light jacket is necessary. Comfortable clothing is a good idea. We had the VERY BEST captain, Marcelo!!

We loved our evening out sailing on the Mediterranean Sea during sunset. Seeing the city from the water was beautiful. We enjoyed the captain & saxophone player on the sailboat.

Great Experience

10/10 great experience. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested………………………………………………………………..

Lovely sail

Mark_R, Oct 2025
Captain and musician were great The sail was beautiful, really lovely. If you are expecting more than 1 of 4 tapas, or the most basic of drinks - don't bother. Geared for younger people who just want to drink. Eight American sized people are too tight in the main area. 2 of the 4 couples went to the front of the boat, so it worked out. But if it had been all older couples that would have been way too tight a fit. On another boat leaving at the same time was a couple with a smaller dog, and they allowed the dog. I didn't think that was okay. Not safe for them to be underfoot or even on the aeat in choppy waters.

Fantastic experience

Tanya_J, Sep 2025
If you're unsure whether you should do this, stop questioning and just do it! It was amazing, beautiful, our captain Manuel was terrific. I'm so pleased and we even arranged to have birthday cake added to the trip so it was an extra personal touch!

Amazing experience to sail in Barcelona with this crew! Although the water was a little rough, they still made the experience wonderful! My husband and I shared the catamaran with 2 other wonderful women from Romania. The cava was good, the food was good and the vibe was perfect! We upgraded to have dinner on the cruise and it was absolutely worth it. Highly recommend utilizing this company on your travels

Great hosts. The sea was rough, but the hosts were very kind and made the cruise memorable. The wine and the Tapas were good

Totally Relaxing

We had a very wonderful time on the catamaran.. All the crew members were very pleasant and delightful. The experience was very relaxing and just what one needed to unwind after a long day running around sightseeing. Highly recommend.

They called me right before the tour to say it’s cancelled, unfortunate but I was the only one to sign up. Was very sad!

Sail away

Fun times Free drinks Good snacks Great time with Christopher A little wavy But beautiful on the water

Sailing experience with tapas and live saxophone

Donna_R, Dec 2024
It was an absolute fantastic experience, one we will never forget, the skipper and saxophone player were amazing.

Loved every moment

Marianne_C, Oct 2024
Beautiful experience with Cristobal on a lovely boat. The day was incredible and the music was perfect for the sail. We even got to see dolphins! Perfect way to end my last day in Barcelona.

Nice

Anonymous, Oct 2024
Staff were amazing, friendly and professional, the tapas and drinks were wonderful. The only negative was the water was very rough so it was hard to enjoy the full experience without feeling motion sickness. Everyone felt it so it wasn’t only myself, would be nice if they know waters will be rough to cancel and give people the option to rebook. My advice is look into the winds and water conditions a few days before.

Perfect way to end our stay

Eleanor_G, Sep 2024
We had a really lovely crew on the boat who instantly made us feel welcomed. The Spanish guitar player on board was a lovely surprise. It was the best way to end our stay in Barcelona

Mediterranean sunset

Sharon_H, Sep 2024
Great cruise. Cristobal was wonderful And we had bonus of Pablo playing guitar all night. Great music And weather cooperated with a beautiful sunset

Sunset cruising at its best!

nmtyburczy, Sep 2024
We had a wonderful time on our mini cruise before our big cruise! The boat was clean, our captain was very attentive with drinks and tapas. We appreciated being able to just sit and enjoy but if we asked a question we were given complete attention. Perfect ending to our stay in Barcelona!

Horrible trip. So disappointed.

JuneAnn_J, Aug 2024
We have booked with Viator for years and always had a great experience. This excursion was the absolute worst I have ever been on. There were some real safety concerns as the boat captain smoked the entire time! He spent more time down under than at the controls. This made some people very uncomfortable as the sea was pretty rough. He didn’t tell us about anything we were seeing along the coastline. He ruined all our snacks…it was an accident…but there should always be extra and we got nothing. He was extremely jittery and jumped around constantly…he was so silly. I have never been so glad to out my feet back on land! Do not book this boat trip!!

One of Our Favorite Tours Ever!!

Samantha_M, Aug 2024
This was one of our favorite excursions of all time! Jose was a wonderful skipper/captain, and having Paolo onboard with his guitar made the cruise even more special. The tapas and beverages selection were also a nice “extra”! Jose was very accommodating for us, as we were traveling with our 1 year old son, his stroller, etc! The views from the cruise as the sun set can’t be beat, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an extraordinary marine view of Barcelona!

Beautiful Sunset with Captain Marcello

Cathy_T, Jul 2024
We decided on this Sunset Cruise last minute and were happily surprised. Captain Marcello was a lot of fun and the sunset was lovely. If you are looking for something interesting to do in the evening I recommend this boat ride.

Beautiful, relaxing, peaceful sailboat experience at sunset outside of Barcelona

Alyssa_K, Jul 2024
Marcello was a delight and shared lots of interesting information. He also helped on of our colleagues who was feeling sea sick. We had a beautiful sunset, and a marvelous time.

Sailing Bliss

CYNTHIA_C, Jul 2024
This is a must do in Barcelona. There is nothing like the relaxing sailing of sailboat, then add tapas and a sax player and it's heaven. One of our group was a well seasoned sailor and they allowed him to do a lot of the work in which he was in his glory. He really enjoyed himself. Manu the captain was so very polite and friendly. We were a group consisting of a 78, 61, 62, 39, 9, and 4 year old and every single one of us had an incredible experience. I highly recommend doing the sunset cruise!

Should have been cancelled for rain and wind

MarianoSantoro, Jul 2024
As a experience was good but the weather was so bad they should have been cancelled! We suffered a lot the wind and waves

Perfect way to kickoff a week in Barcelona

chefggaz, Jun 2024
Our captain Manuel only aimed to please. And succeeded. From the perfect weather and glorious sunset to small bites and unlimited drinks, this was a perfect way to start our week in Barcelona. The group on our boat was also very fun. High recommend.

Great Fun

Robert_O, Jun 2024
Great Fun…great captain and despite. Little choppy water the captain was able to navigate to a good place.

BAD directions to the tour and they cut it short by half!

Debra_L, Jun 2024
It rained all day - not your problem, but not the best time to take a Mediterranean sailing trip. The captain tried to make the best of it, but it was supposed to be a 2 hour trip and we were back on shore in one hour. In addition, the directions for the meeting point were TERRIBLE! We had to call the tour operator for instructions AS DID EVERY OTHER GUEST! The captain also should have offered to assist us in getting a taxi back as it took us over 1 1/2 hours to find a cab in the rain. Very poor service!

The captain José and the...
