Depart from Marina Vela

Get your sea legs ready and make your way to Marina Vela. Once you arrive at the port, your friendly skipper will be waiting to help you on board their luxury sailboat. Choose a seat and meet the rest of your new, seafaring friends. The boat can only accommodate 10 guests, so you’ll enjoy a wonderfully intimate, small-group experience.

Once everyone is ready, feel the ocean breeze as you set sail for a magical afternoon out on the water.

Take a Dip in the Water

After sailing about three or four miles offshore, your skipper will anchor the boat as you take in the tranquil atmosphere. If the weather is warm enough, now is your chance to take a dip in the calming waters of the Mediterranean. It’s one thing to admire the turquoise waters from afar, but nothing beats floating along these gentle waves. Enjoy a long, midday swim at your leisure as the friendly crew prepares your delicious meal.

Enjoy Snacks and Drinks

Once you’re ready, climb back on board and towel off just in time for a lovely, light meal. Classic Spanish snacks including olives, jamón, cheese and crisps will be provided. An open bar will also be arranged, where you can choose from your choice of cava, wine, beer, or soft drinks. Raise a glass with your newfound friends as you take in awe-inspiring coastal views, and cheers to a magical afternoon!

Take in Gorgeous Views of Barcelona’s Coastline

As your professional skipper slowly makes its way back to shore, continue admiring the enchanting views of Barcelona from afar. Your helpful crew will be happy to point out prominent landmarks and answer any questions you have about the city (or the sea). If you prefer to take it easy, feel free to close your eyes and soak in the gentle sea breeze, perhaps even sneaking in a little siesta!

After about 2 hours out at sea, your boat will dock back at Marina Vela. If you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to gorgeous views of the water, feel free to continue exploring the marina, or walk down to Barceloneta Beach.

The Tour Guy staff from start to finish were excellent, accommodating and informative. I started this search months prior to the date of the cruise, the people who I was in touch were kind, understanding, and patient with me. I booked the cruise without a hitch, we arrived at the Marina, the captain and first mate were so very nice, informative , answered all of our questions, allowed us time to swim on a glorious day in the Mediterranean sea, which was a Cobalt blue waters, beautiful and cooling (it was 94 degree's F), watch the America's Cup teams practice, never allowed our glasses or dishes to be empty. Hands down the Best choice to do this!!! We will absolutely return and do the cruise again! Thank you to everyone Corinne Blaydon
