Amazin Experience!!

Natalia_A, Dec 2023

The experience was great! Our capitan was Manuel, he was very kind and professional. We enjoyed the views of Barcelona and had great tapas and cava.

Extraordinary!

Ziye_C, Dec 2023

Extraordinary! I have never had such a wonderful experience. Thanks to the captain's warm hospitality and the receptionist who is proficient in five languages, I strongly recommend that you must experience this trip when you go to Barcelona. The four of us agreed that it was the best project for the trip.

Vermut Sailing without much Vermut

AnnMarie_L, Sep 2023

It was great to be out on a sailing boat on the Mediterranean Sea no complaints there! Our only distraction was the name of the experience was Vermut Sailing trip but we weren’t offered Vermut originally. We thought we might get to enjoy the beverage in an interesting way but it was nearly non-existent.

A special time

MARIA_M, Jul 2023

Violeta did a wonderful job and made us all feel save (especially my mum who was a bit worried before!), I could have stayed on board for longer and will surely repeat!! Booking the private tour was so worth it!

Barcelona skyline from the water

Kristyna_P, Jul 2023

Pleasant opportunity to see Barcelona from the water. Unfortunately the weather was windy so we spent most of the time around the shore and port area. However the captain was very knowledgeable and the boat was beautiful. Light snacks including fruit, sandwiches, and pastries were provided with abundant beverage choices.

Relaxing and fun

Stephanie_A, Jul 2023

Manu was a great host and fun to chat with. He knew all the buildings we asked him about and he took us close to the New Zealand sailing team who were out training so we could have a quick look. Luckily there was a cool breeze because we arranged a midday cruise in the heart of summer. We were offered drinks and savoury snacks on a platter and enjoyed the calm and peace of the sea.

Awesome time

Michelle_J, Jul 2023

I took this boat excursion with a friend and we both had a great time. Our boat captain was attentive, took pictures, and ensured we had enough drinks and snacks.

Just awful

Stephen_S, Jul 2023

Signed up for this tour expecting a relaxing sailing tour and got everything but that. You’d expect to be able to sit down and relax with some snacks and drinks right? Wrong, we spent the entire trip getting yelled at by the skipper to stay on the sides of the bow and switch sides as needed for weight distribution. This could have been more understandable if the skipper was having a tough time with the boat, but the best part is that we had to stay there because 2 passengers had “sailing experience” so he just let them sail the boat the whole time at our expense. Can’t believe that we paid $100 just for two middle aged men to have a sailing experience while the rest of us passengers got yelled at to move quickly so we could keep the weight distributed. Other passengers were clearly uncomfortable with having to move yo the bow while the boat was moving, but the skipper still yelled at them to move up there. Just awful. I cannot emphasize enough how miserable of an experience this was and I will be expecting the company to refund our money because we did not pay to be the weight distribution system for someone else’s sailing experience.

JoseM_R, Jun 2023

We had a great time! Sergio was our captain and he was awsome. We had a good conversation with him while sailing. Recommended!

Such an amazing...

Sebastian_B, Jun 2023

Such an amazing experience!! 🤩 Had a wonderful time on board. The Skipper was friendly and we got as much drinks as we wanted

Great way to spend an afternoon

Scott_R, Apr 2023

Friendly and attentive skipper. Listened to music on board and had delicious snacks and drinks. Would recommend

We Love Captain Violeta!!!!!!!

Natalie_H, Mar 2023

Our boat ride was BEAUTIFUL. We loved the cava, cheese and olives, and pretty music! We were even able to bring our own snacks and drinks as well. Captain Violeta was fantastic and answered all of our questions about Barcelona and sailing!! She was kind enough to take our pictures in the front of the boat as well. 100% worth the money. We want her to be our best friend!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! 100 stars ⭐️

Aly_C, Mar 2023

We had the ‘Spaghetti Captain’ Marcello and he was AMAZING!!! The drinks were flowing and the energy was fantastic - also he is a fantastic sailor which made it all the more enjoyable. Would 1000% recommend

Relaxing sunset cruise

Lisa_R, Nov 2022

The trip with Violeta (skipper) and Pablo (guitar player) was wonderful. The trip went longer than expected and we had a lovely sunset view, wonderful guitar playing, plentiful drinks and snacks. Recommend for a relaxing trip cruising close to Barcelona.

Perfect way to fit in a quick sailboat ride.

Robert_K, Sep 2022

Absolutely great time for getting a new perspective on the city skyline without any hassles. Seemed we were on the water longer than the trip time would suggest (in a good way). Cap’n Martin was hospitable and the drinks and snack plate were generous. Thank you!

Best way to cool down on a hot summer day!

Elia_S, Aug 2022

Despite no vermut and no snacks, it was great! The skipper was really busy and should have had someone helping him. Great guy, captain ‘Spaghetti’.

Quick and fun.

Nely_C, Aug 2022

We took a quick 1.5 hr. ride. Our host/skipper, Mariam, was great. She was nice and pleasant, and even took pics for us.

Beautiful Barcelona

Becki_H, Aug 2022

So much more than we were expecting! An amazingly chilled and beautiful way to see Barcelona from a completely different perspective. This was my fifth trip to Barcelona and there is so much to see and do, that I try not to do the same thing twice. This however will be the exception! I can't wait to do it again next year.

We had a great time on...

Cristina_Z, Jul 2022

We had a great time on the boat with Maria. She was incredible with our two kids (4 and 5). She kept them entertained alongside us, talked about Barcelona and managed to give attention to all the passengers including one that got sick. It was definitely a trip highlight. It was too choppy to go in the water which was fine, our only intention was to sail around, relax and enjoy. If you get motion sickness, you may not want to go if it's a choppy day.

Boring boat ride.

Paul_F, Jul 2022

Terribly boring. Other than being offered a drink, no words were spoken. Traveling solo, I sat at the back of the boat while the captain engaged with the other guests. Started counting the minutes till it was over. Will not travel again or recommend.
