Romantic Sunset Cruise

Turn the romance up to the maximum with an unforgettable sail out onto the glistening Mediterranean sea. Your skipper will steer you out from the Port Olimpic and take you on a scenic evening cruise of Barcelona’s coast, so that you can view the manic city from the isolated calm of your sailing yacht bobbing on the big blue sea.

After sailing the length of the city there will be plenty of time to stop and admire the sunset, a timeless pleasure made all the more enjoyable from the ocean as Barcelona’s iconic skyline turns gold and orange, before fading to indigo and black. Enjoyment of this daily miracle with loved ones or friends will be enhanced further by sparkling Catalan champagne. Once it’s fully dark you’ll be steered safely back to port by your captain.

If you’ve been looking for that special activity to impress someone special in your life then you just found it!

Below are three options for a private cruise… or keep reading down the page for shared cruises, a Champagne-swilling party and other boat trips.

Private Sunset Cruise Options

The following three options are just for you and your partner, and the only real difference between them is the size of the boat (which determines the price!). In all cases, prices include qualified captain, bottle of Cava, chocolates, and taxes. Morning departures are also possible. You don’t have to be a couple to book, you can also be a group of friends!

1. Sporty Sunset (J80 Boat)

This sporty 8-metre sailboat has a large cockpit for its size, and is the most affordable option for a private sailing trip at just €250 for a three hour outing. Email us on info@barcelona-life.com with your preferred dates to check availability and expect to hear back within one working day.

2. Leisure Sunset (Hanse 345 or Beneateau First 36.7)

These 10 and 11-metre-long craft both have a spacious exterior and interior, offering perfect comfort for 2 people (or indeed up to 7 people), and plenty of stability on the water. The price is €350 for a three hour cruise. Email us on info@barcelona-life.com with your preferred dates.

3. Premium Sunset (Oceanis 381)

For a touch of luxury book this gorgeous 12-metre-long premium sailing boat. It has a gorgeous interior and ample space on deck. Three hours won’t feel long enough! The rental cost for a cruise is €450. Email us on info@barcelona-life.com to reserve.

Shared Sunset Experiences

4. Sunset & Cava Cruise

While not quite as romantic as having your own private boat, if you’re looking for a very affordable way to enjoy an afternoon on the Mediterranean, then Sailing Experience BCN organise a fantastic shared experience on a 12-metre boat, with a total of 11 passengers. The activity costs between €69-79 per head, and includes snacks and drinks. You can book the activity on their website.

5. Sunset, Cava & Live Music

A memorable upgrade on the already enjoyable Sunset & Cava Cruise, this ticket includes live music in the form of either Spanish guitar or mood-enhancing saxophone. Just click on the links to head to Sailing Experience BCN’s website, where you can reserve your space for €91 per person.
