The experience itself was good but I can't rate this higher than 3/5 due to our booking experience. We paid on trip advisor/viator for a Friday evening sunset cruise at 19:30 (7:30) and showed up at 7:10 then were told we missed the cruise because it was at 6:30. We had gotten an email from Barcelona watersports that very morning saying see you at 19:30 and to arrive 10 minutes early. It appears we paid for a trip advisor booking that didn't exist because Barcelona watersports didn't have our booking at all. I felt they should have honored our original booking since whoever had booked the 6:30 cruise hadn't shown up anyways (meaning the crew was available for our original day/time) but we were asked to come back the next day. Thankfully we were able to come the next day though it didn't fit into our schedule as well as our original booking. I'd recommend booking directly through Barcelona watersports to avoid this tripadvisor communication issue with this tour operator. And definitely call/message ahead to confirm even if you get an email from Barcelona watersports about your booking.

Good cruise, bad scheduling

Tapas, drinks, and a wonderful cruise!
Our booking was very spontaneous and at the last minute. Our skipper and host accommodated our every need. What a beautiful surprise for a afternoon cruise. Our skipper was very professional and our host was very fun and made you feel at home. A beautiful short tour of the local coast and a circle out to take a stop for a dip if your up for it. The best 2 hours for a afternoon in Barcelona! Highly recommended.

Outstanding sunset cruise, swim, and tapas off the Barcelona coast!
Amazing cruise with delicious tapas, cava, wine, and a beautiful sunset. Ivy and Andie are an excellent team and highly qualified captain and first mate! Really delightful and highly recommended.

Completely ignored after being promised a refund
Me and 5 other people wanted to book this but as soon as I paid the tickets ran out for everybody else. I called tripadvisor and was told the hosts were not answering the phone, so I went to the location at the marina and waited 1hr and 30 mins to speak to the hosts in person. When they came back i spoke with the female host and she was very apologetic and kind and gave her boss my phone number, promising that I would be contacted and given a refund. No such thing happened whatsoever, I wasted €65 and was never contacted for anything and they never answered the phone again.
Operator response

We would not of been paid for any sailing trip not done.

A fabulous trip!
We had a wonderful time with Captain Colin! I was anxious about this excursion from reading some of the previous reviews but we had a fantastic time! Cava was flowing and a great selection of tapas along with great views of the city and information about Barcelona. Would recommend!

Amazing boat tour!
I would highly recommend this tour!! Maria is an amazing host and made this tour sooo fun. The wine and tapas was delicious, and the boat is very well kept. Great music and amazing vibes overall. Was super nice to get out of the busy city for a while!

A Perfect Sunday on the Water!
We had so much fun on this sailboat excursion with an incredible host and amazing captain! The tapas were delicious, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Any day is perfect for drinks in the sun on a boat, especially a Sunday! I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a memorable experience on the water.

Sunset Sail
The crew was great - friendly and fun, but also clearly very experienced sailors. Kids loved swimming while the adults relaxed and enjoyed the views. A wonderful sunset sail!

Our paid reservation was list and we were left with no cruise
This was the worst experience. We planned this for our last evening in Barcelona. My granddaughter was so excited. We planned our day around this event. Went to the beach arrived on time. And the cruise company never showed. We waited. Watched four other groups leave called and viator let this paid reservation slip through the cracks. They had no one to send out to captain the boat and we never went on our cruise. Very disappointing. They offered to take us out the next morning. But we were leaving and not a sunset cruise.
Operator response
We apologised and explained we never received your reservation through the Viator booking system ,so we were not aware of your trip. We spoke to you at the time and explained this and you were very understanding and we spoke to Viator to refund you straight away But you booked through Viator so really harsh on us
