It was a perfect evening — weatherwise, fellow passengers, ambience, and captain. The classical guitar made for a wonderful addition.

This was a fabulous experience! We were traveling with our friends and had a wonderful time! Hosea was our Captain on the Sail boat and he made this a wonderful experience for us! He was very experienced and took the time to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. It was a beautiful evening for sailing watching the sunset while enjoying tapas & wine! Wonderful experience made for a perfect evening!

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!

A++ romantic and beautiful

What an amazing experience. My wife and I went for pur honeymoon 1st day un Barcelona and couldn't of started our trip any better. Live guitar was an amazing touch to beautiful sights of Barcelona from the water.

Our captain Luigi was...

R_C, Jun 2026
Our captain Luigi was wonderful and very entertaining with his fun sense of humor throughout the tour. There were 10 total in our group. Tapas was good, drinks flowed and he was very accommodating. Also very knowledgeable and gave us history of the coastal area. Those who think they may feel sea sick, myself and one of our friends were on the fence ... she took a dramamine, I did not, but we both did fine. Having something in your stomach I think helps. Sunset was absolutely beautiful and with the music Luigi played it was so relaxing and we just took it all in. Would highly recommend!

Mediterranean delight

An evening on the water

Very nice easy to spend an evening. Nice size boat. Could have possibly used a second crew member but our captain did a great job . It was a beautiful perspective different then the citys hustle and bustle.

Great view of the Barcelona port area. New tho gs to see and gives you a different perspective of the city.

Beautiful sunset, lacking experience

Eric_V, May 2026
The setting was beautiful and the experience turned out fine. But disappointed in the execution. I did this tour 3 years ago and it was one of the highlights of the trip. This time, they told us they had many bookings and there would be multiple boats going out. Our captain barely spoke and couldn't share information with us about where we were going, what we would see, etc. He was unkempt and struggled to move around the boat, needed help getting food and wine out from below. our boat also went a completely different direction than the others for some reason and we were out near the tankers. It just seemed odd. Last time, we had a nice cruise along the shore line to see what was happening at the port. These are small details that took away from watching the beautiful sunset, but I expected more at the price point. The guitar player was fantastic ... was actually on the same boat I was on last time! If it had not been for him, it would have been an awkward and uncomfortable two hours.

Excellent time sailing with our Captain Hosea!

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...

Cecelia_D, Sep 2025
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

Highly recommend

Totally Relaxing

KISHA_M, Jul 2025
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.

Chelsea_P, Jun 2025
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!

The best experience!

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!!
