SeaBarcelona
Midday or Sunset Sailing with Open Bar and Snacks
4.8 (2,701) · from $49
SeaBarcelona midday sunset sailing is a shared sailboat trip with an open bar, and at $49 it is the dearest of the small-group sailings I track in Barcelona. For that money you leave from the city's superyacht marina, sail three to four miles offshore and drink what you like for two hours.
The detail that changes the decision is the meeting point. The crew collects you on the street outside the restaurant MOLO39 at Palau de Mar, not on its terrace and not inside the marina, and the listing says late arrivals can be neither refunded nor rebooked.

What is the SeaBarcelona sailing trip and what do you see?
It is a two-hour sail on a yacht that carries at most ten guests, with an open bar and a skipper who talks about the city as you leave the harbour.
- The boat: a fully equipped sailing yacht with a stereo system, in a small-group setting of 10 or fewer.
- The crew: a professional skipper who shares local stories, plus a mate who serves drinks.
- The view: the skyline, the beaches and the seafront from three to four miles out.
- The swim: a chance to swim when weather permits.
- The extras: you can hand-steer or learn about navigation, if you want to.
The format is social. Reviewers describe birthday trips, a group of ten and plenty of banter with the crew.
Where does the SeaBarcelona boat leave from?
You wait at the kerb outside MOLO39 on Plaça de Pau Vila, along the southern flank of Palau de Mar, and the crew collects you for the walk to the boat in Marina Port Vell.
The Port of Barcelona calls Palau de Mar the only preserved building of the old industrial port, so the landmark is easy to spot. The listing warns you not to go inside the restaurant or the marina.
| From | To | Walk | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barceloneta metro (L4) | MOLO39 meeting point | about 7 min (562 m) | Walking route |
| Your hotel | MOLO39 meeting point | Not routed; open the pin and choose your start | Meeting point on Google Maps |
The listing also names the bus stop Pg Joan de Borbó – Pl Pau Vila. A metro or bus ticket is EUR 2.90 on the TMB fares page.
What is the route, stop by stop?
The trip leaves Marina Port Vell, sails three to four miles offshore and returns, with a swim when conditions allow.
| Leg | What happens | Maps |
|---|---|---|
| Meet | Outside MOLO39, Palau de Mar | Meeting point |
| Board | Marina Port Vell superyacht marina | Marina Port Vell |
| Offshore | 3 to 4 miles out for skyline views | Open water |
| Swim | Weather permitting, skipper decides | Position set by the skipper |
| Return | Back to Marina Port Vell | Barceloneta beach |
The listing gives no fixed route and no swim spot. One reviewer could not swim once the boat was out of the dock, but the crew let everyone dangle their feet from the stern.
How long is it and when does it sail?
The trip is two hours, offered in the morning, at midday or afternoon, and at sunset.
Some reviewers feel the full two hours is not always delivered, and GetYourGuide's summary says the same, so ask the skipper for the return time. For the sunset slot, use the table to pick a departure.
| Month | Sunset | What it means for a 2-hour sail |
|---|---|---|
| Jan | 5:48 PM | Board about 5:03 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
| Feb | 6:26 PM | Board about 5:41 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
| Mar | 6:58 PM | Board about 6:13 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
| Apr | 8:32 PM | Board about 7:47 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
| May | 9:04 PM | Board about 8:19 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
| Jun | 9:28 PM | Board about 8:43 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
| Jul | 9:25 PM | Board about 8:40 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
| Aug | 8:52 PM | Board about 8:07 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
| Sep | 8:02 PM | Board about 7:17 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
| Oct | 7:12 PM | Board about 6:27 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
| Nov | 5:33 PM | Board about 4:48 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
| Dec | 5:24 PM | Board about 4:39 PM for a mid-cruise sunset |
The midday option avoids the sunset crowd and the evening chill, and the water is warmest in the afternoon from June to September.
What is on board and what is included?
The price covers the boat, the skipper and an open bar with snacks, so you pay nothing more on board except a tip if you choose.
- Drinks: cava, white wine, beer and soft drinks.
- Snacks: light snacks, with a vegan and vegetarian option.
- Music: a stereo system, so bring a playlist if you want to pick songs.
- Bring: sunglasses, a sun hat, swimwear, a towel and sun cream.
- Skip the line: the listing mentions an express security check.
Groups above ten are split across two boats unless you tell the operator in advance, and separate bookings may also be split. Message them if you want to sail together.
How does SeaBarcelona midday sunset sailing compare with other boats?
It costs more than the other small-group sailings, but its open bar includes wine, which several rivals do not list.
| Cruise | Price | Length | Rating | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SeaBarcelona midday or sunset sailing | $49 | 2 h | 4.8 (2,701) | Open bar, snacks, swim |
| Sail Experience Holiday small-group sailing | $37 | 2 h | 4.9 (2,316) | Cava, beer, snacks, swim |
| Sunset sailboat with drinks and snacks | $28 | 1 h | 4.9 (1,751) | Drinks and snacks |
| 52-foot yacht cruise with open bar | $55 | 2 h | 5.0 (687) | Open bar, snacks |
| Private sailing trip (max 9) | $224 | 1-10 h | 5.0 (116) | Drinks, snacks, private boat |
The extra $12 over the Sail Experience Holiday trip buys wine and a marina departure in the city centre. For the wider set, see my sailing Barcelona page.
Is SeaBarcelona midday sunset sailing worth it versus the other boats?
I'd book it for a group of friends or a birthday, where an open bar and a central marina matter more than the lowest price.
At $24.5 per hour it is just under the $26 median I track, and the bar is unlimited in the listing. If you drink three glasses, the open bar is already worth more than the price gap to the $37 sailing.
If you drink little, choose the $37 sailing or the cheaper catamaran. If you want only your own party on board, add the private option when you book.
When is the best time to go?
Pick June to September for a warm swim, and May or October for a calmer city and a sunset before 8 PM.
1.2 million visitors came to Barcelona in October 2025, nearly 9% more than in October 2024.
With at most ten seats per boat, popular dates sell out. The next public holiday is All Saints Day on 1 November.
