Strolling through Barcelona's vibrant streets is a must, but experiencing the city from the water offers a truly unforgettable perspective! Go on a boat tour along the Mediterranean coastline and see the city's iconic landmarks, such as the Montjuic castle and W Hotel from a new angle! The best way to do your Barcelona sightseeing in a day is to take a Barcelona boat tour!
Barcelona's iconic landmarks, such as Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, look even more impressive from the water. Enjoy panoramic views of the city's skyline, the Mediterranean Sea, and the majestic Montjuic hill.
Keep the kids entertained with dolphin spotting, games, and stories. It's like a floating playground for children! Adults can learn about Barcelona's epic past while exploring the sights and listening to jazz music.
Boat tours are eco-friendly! As you glide across the Mediterranean on a solar-powered catamaran, you're making a positive impact on the planet. Barcelona boat tours help fund coral planting and sea cleanup initiatives. So, relax, soak up the sun, and know that your adventure is contributing to a healthier ocean.
Imagine capturing the Sagrada Familia in the golden hues of a Barcelona sunset, or the shapes of Montjuic Hill reflected in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. A boat tour offers photographers the opportunity to capture Barcelona's most beautiful landmarks from a completely new perspective.
Take a look at our comprehensive map, which will help you quickly understand all the sights you will see on your Barcelona boat tour!
Regardless of which Barcelona boat tour you choose, you’ll start your journey from either of these 2 ports, each of these ports is conveniently located and easy to reach!
Montjuic Castle is a historic fortress located on Montjuic Hill, built in the 17th century. Its stone walls and strategic position offer a glimpse into the city’s military history. From the water, the castle's commanding presence dominates the hill, offering a beautiful contrast to the modern city below.
Just behind the city, you’ll notice the vibrant green Montjuïc Mountain rising above the urban landscape. From the boat, you can admire its sloping gardens, cultural landmarks, and sporting venues like the Olympic Stadium.
As your boat enters Port Vell, look out for the charming Clock Tower, a historical landmark dating back to its days as a lighthouse. It stands proudly near the waterfront, a reminder of Barcelona’s maritime history. It's one of the key sights that captures the city's connection to the sea.
This vibrant marina is filled with luxury yachts and trendy bars. It's a great place to see the city's modern side and the twin towers – Mapfre Tower and Hotel Arts. The port is alive with restaurants, bars, and nightlife. It’s also close to the beach, so you might spot people enjoying water sports or lounging by the shore.
From the sea, you’ll be able to see the distinctive silhouette of Torre Agbar, one of Barcelona’s most well known modern skyscrapers. Its rounded shape and shimmering facade stand out against the skyline, particularly at night when its colorful lights reflect in the water. Don’t miss taking photos of this from the sunset boat tour!
As your boat cruises past the coast, you’ll see Barceloneta Beach with rows of sunbathers. This lively urban beach is always bustling with swimmers, surfers, and beachgoers, making it a great spot to soak in the energy of Barcelona’s vibrant atmosphere.
Your boat will pass through Port Vell, Barcelona’s historic harbor, which has been transformed into a modern marina. From the water, you’ll see yachts, the Maremagnum shopping center, and the Rambla de Mar curved bridge.
As you approach Barcelona's waterfront, the sleek, ship-like architecture of the World Trade Center Barcelona immediately catches the eye. This modern business park is a striking contrast to the city's historic landmarks, making it a standout feature from the sea.
Barcelona boat tours can vary in duration, typically ranging from 1-2 hours, depending on the ticket you have selected.
Yes! Barcelona boat tours are family-friendly and suitable for children.
Most boat tours in Barcelona depart from Port Vell, Port Olympic, or the Marina Vela area. Be sure to check your ticket or booking confirmation for the exact departure point.
It all depends on the season you travel. To fully enjoy the sunset cruise experience in Barcelona, the best time to choose is typically around 1-2 hours before the official sunset time In summer (June to August), the sun sets between 8:30pm and 9:30pm, while in winter (December to February), it sets earlier, around 5:30pm to 6pm. Always check the sunset time for the day of your cruise.
Accessibility varies by tour and boat type. It’s best to check your ticket beforehand to see if it's wheelchair accessible or not recommended for passengers with mobility issues.
You should wear comfortable clothing and footwear. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, especially if you're planning to spend time on deck.
If the Barcelona boat tour is canceled due to weather conditions or special events, you will be offered a change of day or a full refund.
The girl at the ticket office was very kind and solved any inconvenience and the boat tour was relaxing and of good length. We would have missed a refreshment for the tour. Thank you
To much around the same buildings. But was relaxed, just a little bit away from the busy city.
Vedere Barcellona dal mare è un esperienza magnifica!!! Da non perdere assolutamente

Excursion suitable for everyone young and old, large and spacious boat with comfortable seating both inside and outside. Also honest in bar service inside the boat. Recommended
Nice view on Barcelona, with music.
There was too much people on the catamaran, and it was not eco, you could feel the diesel engine but the description told me that it is sun powered eco.
A magnificent opportunity to see the city from another perspective and enjoy the breeze in the sea. It is highly recommended to do the tour with someone, who does not have discomfort to the swaying of the waves, because then you will have to take care of the person, as the staff of the boat only offers you a bag and neglects the case. So there is a lack of training.
Yes, it is a very good activity, we liked it a lot, there are always opportunities for improvement, such as being ecological as described, plastic cups with straws are delivered, the live music was great, but could be better organized for greater enhancement....
Excellent, everything was very well organized and the experience was phenomenal.
Punctuality and beautiful surroundings
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful tour off the coast of Barcelona
Das Sightseeing vom Wasser aus war ganz wunderbar. Der Service und die Crew waren hervorragend. Das einchecken war wegen des unsicheren Wetter sehr flexibel. Ich bin rund um begeistert und würde es jedem empfehlen, der in Barcelona ist.

Frienly and helfull staff, nice trip
I went to the meeting point and it was closed, nobody was there. I have sent 4 message, u have called several times and the company is waiting feedback from the local company to check what happened. Nobody gave me a solution neither gave me my money back.
Nothing. I was still searching for the area and my friends had asked them to wait at least 5 minutes. But they left without me, did not even bother waiting. I have waited 20 minutes on other boat rides for the guests to come.
Ultimate, Recommend for all at once. Unforgettable memories.
There were no cocktails included as I had booked. You should have the blue chip which we did not get like all the other guests. Lounge music was not included.
The atmosphere with live music, the scenery, the catamaran with the net top!!!!
Great experience! Enjoyed a catamaran ride with my family during the sunset with incredible Barcelona views.

The expérience is very beautyfull ! We see a Amazing sunset on the best sailor boat. Some difficulty with the location of meeting point. On board, we were welcomed with some food ans drink. The captain takes care to all of people on board. The explanations are clear. English or spanish is better to communicate. We will come back next year on Barcelona and chose the same company to another Travel ! Thanks for this expérience !
