FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Booking

How and when do I book?


You can easily book your shared or private sailing tour in Barcelona directly on our website. If you already have a specific date and time in mind, we recommend securing your booking as early as possible, as availability decreases throughout the year.

Is the price per person or per yacht?


For private tours, the price is listed per yacht. For example, a 1-hour private tour during the low season costs €200 per yacht. If your group has the maximum capacity of 9 people, that’s just about €22 per person. For all other tours, the price is indicated per person.

When is it high and low season?


High season runs from April to October, while the remaining months are considered low season.

What is included in the price?


The price includes the yacht, a professional skipper, a selection of drinks (water, soda, white and red wine, cava, and beer), as well as light snacks (crisps, olives, and other nibbles).

What If I want to cancel?


You may cancel your sailing trip up to 24 hours before departure.
In case of cancellation within this period, your booking will be refunded.
Please note that payment processing fees (2%) charged by credit card providers (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) are non-refundable and will be deducted from the refunded amount.

Cancellation Insurance (Recommended)
For additional flexibility, you can add a Cancellation Insurance during checkout.
With cancellation insurance:
You may cancel up to 1 hour before departure
You will receive a 100% refund, including all payment fees
The cancellation insurance option is available right before entering your payment details and is strongly recommended for maximum flexibility.

What is the price policy for Children?


Babies aged 0-2 can join for free. Children aged 3-12 receive a €15 discount off the adult price.

Can I bring my pet?


We regret to inform you that pets are not allowed onboard.

On Board

What to wear during the sailing tour?


It can be a bit cooler at sea than in the city, so we recommend bringing a jacket to protect you from the wind, even in summer. Flat shoes are the most comfortable option, and we prefer white soles as they won’t leave marks. During the summer, don’t forget your swimwear and a towel—if the sea conditions permit, we can stop for a refreshing swim!

What should I bring for the sailing tour?


For your sailing tour, we recommend bringing the following:
Clothing suitable for the weather conditions.
Sunscreen to protect your skin.
Swimwear (during the summer).
• A towel for swimming or lounging.
• A hat for added sun protection.


These essentials will ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable experience on the water!



Can I bring my own food and drinks?


Yes, you’re welcome to bring as much food and drink as you like onboard.

Is there a toilet on board?


Yes, there is a toilet available onboard for your convenience.

Can I change myself on board?


If you’d like to change into your swimwear, you’re welcome to use one of the cabins onboard without any problem.

Can I drink alcohol?


Yes, but your safety is our top priority. If the skipper determines that the conditions are not suitable, they may ask you to stop drinking for your own safety.

Can I play my own music?


On a private tour, you’re welcome to play your own music. The yacht is equipped with a hi-fi system and speakers both inside and outside. Depending on the yacht, you can connect your mobile device via Bluetooth, USB, or a 3.5mm aux cable.

Practical

How do I find the yacht?


The yachts depart from Port Olímpic, Moll de la Marina, mooring 1416, Barcelona. To avoid confusion, we recommend checking Google Maps beforehand, as it’s easy to lose your way around the port.

I will arrive late, what to do?


If you’ve booked a shared sailing tour, please make sure to arrive on time, as we cannot delay departure without affecting other guests. Even a 5-minute delay could result in the yacht leaving without you, and no refund will be provided in that case. However, if you have purchased cancellation insurance, you will be refunded.

For private sailing tours, we can wait for you if necessary, but please note that the end time cannot be extended, as we have a tight schedule with multiple trips throughout the day.



What time is the sunset in Barcelona?


The time of sunset in Barcelona changes throughout the year — in summer, it’s usually around 9:00 PM, while in winter it can be as early as 5:30 PM. That’s why our Sunset Sailing Tour typically starts at 7:00 PM (19:00) for most of the year, giving you the perfect window to enjoy the golden hour at sea. During the cooler months or when daylight saving time shifts, the tour may depart earlier to match the earlier sunsets.

For the most accurate departure time, feel free to contact us or check availability directly.
And if you’re wondering about the best place to watch the sunset in Barcelona, there’s nothing quite like experiencing it from the water, with a glass of wine and the skyline in full view.

What happens with bad weather?


Every weather condition offers a unique experience, and the sea changes daily. Therefore, cancellations are not possible due to rain. The only exceptions are when sea conditions are deemed too dangerous by the skipper, crew, or port authorities. In such cases, we will do our best to reschedule your trip. If rescheduling isn’t possible, we will provide a full refund.

For more information about weather conditions, please visit our Weather Forecast for Sailing page.

I can’t swim


If you’re not a confident swimmer, we recommend staying onboard, as there can sometimes be strong currents. We expect anyone who chooses to swim to be a competent swimmer. Rest assured, the yacht is fully equipped with life jackets for all crew members and all required safety equipment to handle any emergencies.

The skipper does not give permission to swim, why?


If the sea conditions are rough, such as when there are strong waves, swimming will not be allowed for your safety. The yacht can bounce significantly, making it dangerous to climb back onboard. Your safety is always our top priority.

Sustainability

How do you help protect the environment during the sailing trips?


We are deeply committed to environmental conservation, especially the health of our oceans. To support this, we kindly ask all guests to dispose of their rubbish in the onboard bins to prevent anything from accidentally ending up in the sea. Additionally, we promote respect for the heritage, environment, and communities of the destinations we visit. We encourage everyone to act considerately and responsibly, both at sea and in port, to help preserve these beautiful places for future generations.
