Boats for Work, Fun or Leisure

One of the best things about Barcelona is its proximity to the sea. And with warmer weather here, this means booking sailing trips and boats for work, fun or leisure. 

Whether you’re a local, or just visiting, you can sample the best of the city and the sea in one day with a Barcelona boat trip.

BarcelonaTours has been helping people experience Barcelona by sailboats, yachts and catamarans for almost a decade. And one of our top picks is the Orsom Catamaran – the largest catamaran that operates in Barcelona.

The Orsom Catamaran

This catamaran is a Barcelona favourite, with shared sailing experiences starting from just €16. This is an ideal choice for small groups, couples, friends and families and is all-around great value for money.

The Orsom is a comfortable catamaran with plenty of space onboard. It also comes with a well-stocked bar, where you can purchase snacks and alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks to sip while you sail. We recommend ice-cold vermouth – a local favourite – and maybe some olives too.

BarcelonaTours also offer Private Catamaran Charters for groups of different sizes.

 

The Orsom Catamaran is a Barcelona favourite and one of the most popular sailing vessels.

 

Private Luxury Yachts

If you’re looking for something special, then a private motorboat charter or small luxury yacht is an excellent choice.

Choose from a modern, stylish motorboat with two levels and the finish of a luxury yacht or a traditional blue-bottomed “Mallorquín” style boat which is reminiscent of a classic fishing boat with luxury touches. If you love the classic look with blue and white as the main colours, a gold finish, and nautical décor, then this is the boat for you!

Enjoy an adventure on the sea, with drinks and snacks included. Of course, one of the perks of a private tour is that if you feel the need to cool off, you can let the skipper know where you would like to stop for a swim. 

We can also arrange a full breakfast, lunch and tapas catering, delivered right to the boat before your arrival.

Sailboats & Sailing Yachts

Private sailboats and sailing yachts are also excellent choices for groups of up to 11 people. A private sailboat is a good way to make the most of Barcelona’s location beside the sea and make some memories with friends or family.

Boats can be rented for two, three or four hours and come with snacks, drinks and some of the best vistas of the city.

If you’re a larger group, we also offer bigger boats. Sailing boats and yachts are a great choice for work, fun or leisure and can be tailored to suit most budgets. Want to know more? Contact us or book online here.

Adventure, Action & Adrenaline in Barcelona

adrenaline filled activities in Barcelona

January is all about making and breaking those New Year’s resolutions. We’ve already broken the diet and waved goodbye to our well-intentioned ‘dry January’ (well whose silly idea was that anyway!!)  But one resolution for 2014 that we are hell-bent on keeping is to have an action-packed year full of even bigger and even better activities for our Barcelona Tours chums.

We are set to make 2014 the year of adventure, action and adrenaline, and boy have we got just the line-up for you. So hold on to your helmets and get ready to see Barcelona as your action-packed playground for the year ahead.

Barcelona-By-Bike

Forget seeing the city from the top of a tourist bus, dust off those skin-tight lycra cycling shorts and prepare to see the city from a completely unique perspective. Our bike tour will take you on a journey of the city with a difference, offering panoramic views and stunning scenery. If you’re not already breathless from the 20km cycle down the peaceful Collserola mountain range, wait till you see the views, they can’t fail to take your breath away.

Catalonia Adventures

Ever heard of Puenting? Well neither had we until recently, but it’s all the rage and is currently taking the adventure scene by storm, with Catalunya offering some world-class locations for this adrenaline-packed sport. It’s similar to bungee jumping but instead of bouncing it’s all about swinging. Puenting was an activity originally used for rock climbers to help them overcome their fear of falling. Today it is a major sport for adrenaline seekers looking for their next thrill. The insanely brave can try falling backwards, this offers the ultimate adrenaline rush due to the fact that you can’t see where you’re going. Tried and tested, and guaranteed to leave you buzzing for hours.

Canyoning

Barcelona obviously hosts an endless sea of water sports but one which offers the ultimate rush is that of ‘Canyoning’. Away from the sea and up into the lush mountains canyoning (or ‘baranquisme’ in Catalan) will hurl you into an afternoon of endurance, action and adrenaline. Included in this epic adventure is climbing, swimming, crawling, abseiling, scrambling and even li-loing down narrow gorges formed in the rock face, riddled with numerous drop and waterfalls. This sport is certainly not for the faint-hearted as it offers one of the most adrenaline-fuelled sports on the planet. The stunning scenery in Catalonia is another reason to take on this ultimate challenge as the spectacular rock walls form the backdrop to this amazing day out.

At Barcelona Tours we offer the best action sports the city has to offer. In addition to the above we offer; Go-karting, Quad Biking, Sailing, and a whole host of water sports and beach activities, to name but a few. If you’re looking for an action-packed getaway with your friends or as a corporate team-building weekend we guarantee to offer the best package for you that will keep you talking for months afterwards.
