Chill Out Sailing de Barcelona - Tour Privado

The BYC is undoubtedly the best yacht club in Port Olimpic. They have many boats all maintained impeccably, very good skippers who know the boats and the sea like no one else, and their customer service is excellent.

We wanted to go sailing while we were in Barcelona but given we would be there in mid October we decided to wait until the week we arrived to book it so we could see what the weather would be. It was an excellent decision as the weather was perfect and unseasonably warm. Looking at the other excursions, I wasn't finding what I wanted. An hour or two with a big packed boat with loud music didn't sound enjoyable. For not much more, we got three full hours alone on our own boat with a skipper. It was perfect. Victor was our skipper and he was great. Very nice and charismatic. He answered all of our questions and gave us a lot of information about the city. While the weather was warm we didn't have any wind so we just motored up the coast. It felt more like hanging out with friends than a tour. It was great. At one point we stopped to swim and the water was perfectly cool and refreshing but warm enough to stay in all day. It was very clear also. Victor played music and provided us with a bottle of sparkling wine. While we were stopped, we saw a few America's cup boats that Victor pointed out which was a nice added perk. The only thing to note is to bring your own towels if you decide to swim. Other than that, the boats are very clean and in great shape, with a bathroom below and a shower hose on the back to rinse the salt off. We had such a great time that I wouldn't hesitate to do it again next time, but possibly for longer.

A wonderful afternoon, in a clean sailboat, with a wonderful captain (Nico) made a perfect water outing to see city and the sea! A private outing for five, we were treated to 3 hours of serene sea sailing and sipping, as a bottle of Cava is included. Our captain was capable, charming and informative, giving an informal tour of the shoreline and Barcelona skyline. And be able to take the helm for a while was an added treat for those with a feel for the wind & water... Everything was safe and relaxing and professional - treat yourself to this very satisfying excursion!

It was a great experience. I repeat surely soon. The skipper very experienced, friendly and made us very comfortable.

<p>This was a beautiful 3 hours along the coast of Barcelona. They were so accommodating to help get my elderly father into the sail boat, worked perfectly! The weather was beautiful and we loved the views.</p>

<p>That tour was great. However, in your important remarks it said to wear white sole shoes and no sandals. So we went to buy shoes for the sailing tour. We realized on the boat that it was not necessary and Americans with us wore black shoes and sandals! Otherwise, everything was perfect.</p>

<p>A very pleasant and enjoyable cruise. The captain allowed us to get involved in raising the sails and directing the vessel. Excellent views of Barcelona from the sea and time well spent.</p>

<p>We had so much fun! This is a very hands on sail, with plenty of opportunity to "man the helm". My Dad, a seasoned sailor, was in seventh heaven. The views of Barcelona were awesome. After ending the sail we ate the most delicious baby calamari at one of the waterside resteraunts at the marina.</p>

<p>we had a great time. Small group ( 4 + captain) and we all had an opportunity at the helm!<br/> Peaceful and exciting!<br/> ER. USA</p>

<p>The sailing trip was great! 3 hours in a boat with a professional sailing team, wind and sun, beautiful city views, sea and a friendly captain! He tried to keep us involved in the process, so we enjoyed the trip a lot.<br/> However, I would not recommend the sailing trip to those who have seasickness.</p>
