Christopher our Captain was fantastic. He was attentive to all onboard. He was knowledgeable and I would certainly recommend this trip especially if Christopher was the Captain.

Reviews
David was an excellent skipper and guide. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and overall hospitable. We enjoyed our time with him and on the sailing cruise.
I went with this cruise because of it being marked as premium. I enjoyed the sailing but the “premium bar” was beer, cava, sangria, or soft drink. No selection within each category. The tapas were 1 tapa of 5 different kinds on a shared plate all with gluten. The captain was nice but didn’t know much English. He didn’t really talk to us/ point things out because of this. Another cruiser was bilingual which made the experience much better. Someone in the group paid for the guitar player. It was a nice touch but nothing super special. Wasn’t a bad experience but wish I went with the cheaper option.
The Captain and deck hand were superb. One of the best sunset cruises we’ve taken. Great job guys!!!
This was a great end of day activity to rest our sore tourist legs. The check in was easy. Our skipper was friendly and even let my wife help sail/navigate for a bit. The tapas (selection of 4 items) were tasty and the drink options sufficient (wine, beer, water, soft drinks). While we had hoped to jump in the water it was a bit too choppy and our group was a mix of folks looking to relax and people dressed up for dinner.
We had excellent several hours on a nice sailing boat with capitan Jose at the steering. Everything happened to be great - the weather, the boat, and our captain was the best. Very helpful, polite and entertaining. The food and drinks were good too. The whole company enjoyed this trip, including refreshening swimming. Thank you very much for this experience. Very much recommended. Mila and family.
Wonderful experience! Nice and calm boat ride. Tapas and beverages were delicious. The boat captain was so calm and let us enjoy our time.
It was so much fun! Marcelo was amazing. He taught us, made us laugh. He really made our day. And the cava was flowing.
Good organization, everything was on time. Safety instructions were presented, which i think is important. The boat was in good condition, our captain Marcello was entertaining us all the way. Tapas were okay, there were alcoholic drinks like cava and several non-alcoholic options. The bar was truly open and I feel like may be our captain could be a bit less active with topping up the drinks, because for some people it was a bit much. Also i recommend bringing a scarf or some kind of jacket, because it gets quite windy and despite hot weather it can feel chilly.
Had an amazing time with Mauricio he was a great captain and very nice friendly. Made the experience very special for me since it was my first time on a sailboat the Spanish tapas were delicious the Cava was so good. Would love to come back again and charlotte was amazing as well thank you guys for a very special vacation keep up the good work your friends from New York
An exceptional trip. Our captain Luigi was fun and the group was the perfect size and the view was beautiful. The weather was amazing. It was a wonderful trip.
The Pilot Jose was an excellent host and he ensured that we enjoy every moment Although it was supposed to be a group trip but we were lucky and only self and wife were the passengers. I am thankful to the company for not cancelling the tour as it happens in most part of world due to low occupancy. Jose ensured flow of beer / wine / cava and made our 33rd Anniversary the best one
Awesome experience! The trip was incredibly smooth the entire way, from the check-in process, to the boarding process, to the undocking, and so much more. The snacks were awesome and the drink selection was *chefs kiss*. Thank you!!!
A nice day trip a chill environment and fun guest a good way of relaxing in the sun and chilled 😎 fun good vibe
Great excursion. Weather was a little cool but nothing the company could do. Captain was very informative and tried to take us into calmer waters.
The Captain was skilled, knowledgeable and fun. He made the trip. The boat was comfortable. ,nmn,,nnmnnnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
We book this tour on our last day in Barcelona. It was the best way to end our trip!! The sail boat was very nice, they offered us delicious snacks and drinks. We sailed off from the port and were able to get a different view of Barcelona and its beaches. The crew was very professional and friendly. We highly recommend this activity!
Female skipper for our girls group was perfect! She was lovely, we really enjoyed our trip, learnt about sailing, swam drank and laughed a lot!!!
Manuel was excellent!!! I would do it again. Great weather and boat. He was very knowledgeable. Thanks
A truly lovely experience, even on windy seas! The company was very professional and the boat itself was great! Captain Sergio was very experienced and made the trip fun! Highly recommend!
This was a perfect way to spend a few hours in Barcelona with our group of 3 families. We enjoyed the snacks, the Cava and the boat ride. David was a terrific boat captain. We listened to music, enjoyed the sights and learned a lot about Barcelona. Was relaxing and super fun. Highly recommend.
Edwardo was a great captain! Great weather to sail and drink champagne! Snacks were lovely! We had cheese, crackers and salami. We only had four people on the boat and it was very nice.
The trip was nice. The white wine was good and there was a variety of wines. The food was very minimal so eat before you go. The only issue I had was that I have been charged for the same trip twice so I am hopeful that Trip Advisor is able to resolve the issue. We left at 12:10 and returned at 1:50 so the trip was slightly shorter than the 2 hours advertised. The bathroom facilities were very clean and easy to use. I would try a longer cruise next time.
Great morning, and a perfect start to the day! A light breakfast followed by a quick dip in the mediterranean. Then we laid down on the cushions on the bow and tanned for the rest of the trip. Professional captain, funny and relaxed. We were on the boat from 0930-1130 w only one other couple on the boat which surely added to the experience.
Great day on the sea. We even came back 2 days later to do it again with friends. Captain Sergio was super and made us feel very welcome.
Loved this experience! Our skipper was so much fun and took us on the best route and let us swim for a long time! The small food plate was very good with meats and cheeses and had a wide variety of drink options. My 3 friends and I loved this experience and highly recommend it.
I had the pleasure of this trip with my Fiancée and after a total mess up with my booking I was extremely grateful for the excellent way my booking was handled. I was due to be booked on for the sunset sailing but bad weather forced us to have to change to a afternoon trip the following day. My experience of how all this was handled was excellent and safety was priority. The trip itself was nice and relaxing with a few classes of Cerveza and nibbles, we was able to sit at the front whilst on the move and feeling the spray from the waves crashing into the front of the boat not only surprised you but cooled you down on a very warm sunny day. I would like to thank BCN for the opportunity and excellent experience. I would highly recommend using BCN too. Definitely will be using them again on a return to Barcelona.
We had a great time with Ramon the skipper on the water. Good service, cold drinks and lot of wind to sail. Because of this no possibility to swim unfortunately.
I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review up on one of the best experiences I have ever had while on vacation abroad. A good 3 years to be exact! (My apologies for putting it down for March 2020, I cannot go further back) I was looking to be in the ocean on my birthday in March 2017, and knew that swimming was not much of an option at that time of year...So a fishing/sailing trip was the next best thing! I found an advertisement for a 2-hour sailing trip from Port Vell, with a glass of vermouth included-- for two people, it was just under £75 and was well worth it!!! We were to depart on March 29 (the day of my birthday) at 2:30pm. Fabio was easy to get a hold of and there were no issues with finding the boat and. Firstly, the weather was great, sun was out bit still a bit of wind! Secondly, the group of people we were with on the boat were great fun, and were all excited to be there (the trip was for pax of up to 11 people, but there were only about 8 of us on the boat and there was plenty of space to go off and do your own thing in your own group, we even made a friend who we met at a bar later). And lastly, the trip itself was very informative but also very laid back, relaxed and fun! The captain/skipper was the real star of the show--I'm not sure anymore if this was Fabio himself or one of his employees (sorry to forget your name!), but whoever took the boat out on 29/03/17--what a cracking guy! Everyone got along so well because of his relaxed and friendly demeanor; and as it was my birthday, he eventually decided to relax the 1 drink per person limit and brought out another bottle of vermouth just for us to celebrate! The fun didn't stop there, when I ended up getting the swim that I initially wanted-- I jumped into the freezing cold water (reassuring the captain and everybody else that I was an experienced competitive swimmer throughout high school) and was thrown a life-saver to get back on board. Wow! There wasn't a dull moment. To top it all off, after we got back to shore and everybody else with us was off the boat, the captain took it upon himself to take me and my girlfriend at the time to one of his favourite local spots nearby for Catalonian food. He even offered to pay the bill, but I could hardly accept after everything he had already done! I knew I had to write a review for this as soon as the trip was over, but getting carried away, forgetting things, and moving on has led me three years on from the moment...Such is life... Well, its fair to say that this memory has stuck with me ever since and I will always look back on it fondly... THANK YOU, to Sailing Experience Barcelona, for giving me a birthday I will never forget in the span of just a few hours! and THANK YOU, to the captain on March 29 2017 who took it upon himself to make this memory extra special!!! I hope to come back to Barcelona and meet this guy again, preferably on his birthday, to pay him back a drink or two!
Fantastic experience. Highly recommend and very worth it! Met us at the port reception, took us to the sailing boat. The skipper was super friendly and welcoming. Lots of alcohol and snacks on the 2 hour experience too!
Our experience was very unpleasant. The captain was unpleasant, oppressive and authoritarian. To make matters worse, the captain smoked several canabis joints along the way. I really do not recommend. Thank you.
Top ! Very beautiful sunset. Roa the captain was great and Julia was too. Very good atmosphere! I highly recommend !
C étais géniale le top vraiment le temps le petit brunch on peut s rêver mieux Notre capitaine étais passionnée un vrai moment de partage je recommande
A wonderful experience. A very professional team and exquisite treatment. La Capitana; Mariam, very friendly and an excellent Skipper, is rating that she carries in her veins the passion to sail and makes you feel very comfortable. Views of the Barcelona coast from the sailboat, spectacular. A family outing in which we had a very pleasant time and for those of us who carry the passion for the sea and sailing we had a great time.
We loved this cruise, 2 hours at sunset. It was just magical, the skipper was very kind and kind. Beautiful memories of Barcelona!!
If you want to celebrate your birthday in a different original and fun way do not hesitate!!! That's how I celebrated it and it was fantastic. Also the Skipper Marian is friendly, fun, friendly and very professional. Recommended 100%. Thanks Marian!!! We will repeat 😄
