Itinerary
Day 1
Boarding & sailing experience
Guests can participate in the sailing experience if they want to or just relax and enjoy the ride and the sun.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 15–20 minutes before the scheduled start at Marina Vela to allow time for check-in and a safety briefing.
- Bring a light jacket for the open-deck breeze at sunset; temperatures drop quickly once the sun is low.
- Keep valuables in a small waterproof pouch; the crew will point out secure places on board for phones and cameras.
Swim stop with SUP and water toys
We will make a swim stop at anchor or at sea (depending on the weather conditions) to refresh and enjoy the beautiful water of the Mediterranean Sea. Stand Up Paddle Board and floaties will be provided.
Tips from local experts:
- Use the onboard snorkel gear and rinse-off facilities; bring a towel and a change of clothes in a quick-dry bag.
- If anyone in your group gets seasick, take motion-sickness medicine before the stop or stay on deck in the fresh air.
- Protect your skin: apply reef-safe sunscreen before entering the water and reapply after swimming.
View Sagrada Família from the water
Watch the iconic Sagrada Familia from the water and enjoy Barcelona's skyline from one sight.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep cameras ready during the coastal leg closest to the city; the Sagrada Família is most photogenic from the sea-facing angle at dusk.
- Ask the crew for short commentary about the skyline to know when you'll pass the best viewpoint for photos.
- If you want phone-stable shots, use a wrist strap or small tripod—there can be small boat movements during the approach.
Sunset over Tibidabo and return to Marina Vela
Enjoy the reds, oranges and yellows from the sunset behind mount Tibidabo.
Tips from local experts:
- For the best sunset view, position yourselves on the windward side of the boat as directed by the skipper; bring a warm layer.
- Order drinks early from the crew if you'd like a toast during golden hour; glassware may be plastic on deck for safety.
- Notify the crew if you need assistance boarding back at the marina—they will coordinate a calm, step-wise return.
