Frequently asked questions
Should I book a boat trip in advance?
Booking is strongly recommended, especially in high season or at weekends. It guarantees availability and lets you benefit from the best offers.
How long does a boat trip last?
It depends on the format: a trip around the port lasts around 40 minutes to 1 hour, a sailing or catamaran outing usually 1 to 4 hours, and some private trips last a full day. The exact duration is shown on each listing.
Can I swim during the boat trip?
On many sailing and catamaran trips, yes: the boat drops anchor offshore for a swim stop, sometimes with snorkelling gear or a paddleboard. Short port trips do not include a swim. Check the programme on each listing.
Are boat trips accessible to people with reduced mobility?
Some cruises are accessible to people with reduced mobility, but this depends on the type of boat and the departure port. We recommend checking the activity listing or contacting customer service to confirm accessibility.
What are the cancellation conditions?
On Funbooker, cancellation conditions vary from one provider to another. As a general rule, cancellation is free up to 48 hours before the activity. Please check the provider's conditions on the detailed listing.
Which payment methods are accepted to book a cruise?
You can pay by bank card, PayPal, Funbooker credits or Illicado card. Payment is 100% secure.
Summary
Summary
Our selection of the 12 best boat trip and cruise companies in Barcelona
Seen from the sea, Barcelona looks completely different, between Montjuïc hill, the towers of Port Olímpic and the beaches of Barceloneta. All that remains is to choose your boat, from the old wooden vessel to the party catamaran.
Las Golondrinas
Born for the Universal Exhibition at the end of the 19th century, the Golondrinas take visitors around the port of Barcelona aboard wooden boats.
In 40 minutes, the trip passes the clock tower, Montjuïc hill and the W hotel, the sail-shaped silhouette of the seafront. The one-hour version heads out along the coast.
- Departure: Port Vell, Barcelona
- Duration: 40 minutes or 1 hour
- Price: from €9 per person
City Sailing Barcelona
Partly powered by solar panels, City Sailing's eco-catamaran leaves from the Moll de les Drassanes, at the foot of the Rambla.
At sunset, local artists play live on board during the summer season. One hour of relaxed sailing, by day or in the evening.
- Departure: Moll de les Drassanes
- Duration: 1 hour
Catamaran Orsom
The Orsom catamaran presents itself as the largest in Barcelona, with a bar, deckchairs and toilets on board. It departs from the foot of the Columbus statue or from Port Olímpic, depending on the trip.
At dusk, a musician plays live jazz. During the day, the Sail and Swim option adds a swim in the open sea facing the skyline.
- Departure: Columbus statue or Port Olímpic
- Options: jazz sunset or Sail and Swim
Barcelona Boat Party
Two hours at sea on a two-deck catamaran, a DJ, a dance floor: the boat party is for over-18s only, departing from Barceloneta.
Behind the event is the agency Stoke Travel, which also runs swimming trips and private boats. A classic for stag and hen parties (the hangover is not included).

The sailing events of the 1992 Olympic Games started from Port Olímpic, today the base of Barcelona Sailing Day. Up to 9 people board a shared sailing boat with a skipper.

Bluetooth music, drinks on board and the chance to take the helm: Barcelona Sailboats' private sailing boats welcome up to 11 passengers from Port Olímpic, all year round.
