Itinerary
Standing opposite the Vila Olímpica neighbourhood, it was built in 1990 during the redevelopment of this area of Barcelona. The marina was designed by the architects Oriol Bohigas, Josep Martorell, David Mackay and Albert Puigdomènech. The city needed a sports marina which would meet exacting standards, and it was the site of the sailing competitions during the 1992 Olympic Games. The marina has 756 berths for yachts and its entrance is visible from anywhere in Barcelona. The two skyscrapers on either side are the Mapfre Tower and the Hotel Arts, with Frank Gehry's spectacular goldfish sculpture at its base, and nearby, the Gran Casino de Barcelona. Lovers of water sports can go yachting or practise other types of sailing techniques here, and in the summertime, the beaches on either side of the marina – Somorrostro and Nova Icària – are the perfect place for sunbathing or for a cooling dip in the sea.
The Fish sculpture by the architect Frank Gehry, who won the Pritzker Prize in 1989, has become one of the symbols of post-Olympic Barcelona and looks as if it is bobbing along on the waters of the Mediterranean. The sunlight is reflected in the scales of this sculpture that presides over the waterfront of the Olympic Marina and Barcelona's beaches. In 1992, the pristine Olympic Barcelona was transforming its seafront. A new Olympic Marina was taking shape, presided over by its twin towers. On one side stood the Mapfre Tower; on the other was the Hotel Arts. Frank Gehry placed his fish sculpture at the foot of the hotel. The animal is 56 metres long and 35 metres high and seems to be longing to jump into the blue waters of the Mediterranean.
Port Vell, literally in English "Old Harbor" is a waterfront harbor in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, and part of the Port of Barcelona. It was built as part of an urban renewal program prior to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Before this, it was a run-down area of empty warehouses, railroad yards, and factories. 16 million people visit the complex each year It is now a focal point of the city and tourist attraction, containing the Maremàgnum (a mall containing shops, a multiplex cinema, bars and restaurants), IMAX Port Vell and Europe's largest aquarium containing 8000 fish and 11 sharks contained in 22 basins filled with six million litres (1.6 million US gallons) of seawater. A pedestrian walkway, Rambla de Mar, connects La Rambla to Port Vell It incorporates a swing bridge, in order to allow ships to enter and exit the harbour

Unforgettable trip with the French captain Marie who knows Barcelona very well and was able to advise us for other cultural and tourist outings! The guitarist was at the top, he could play songs of his choice or ours, a treat! And a dive of the boat in the open sea for all those who wanted it was particularly appreciated by my whole family, really we recommend 100 percent! Thank you again.

This sunset sail with an amazing live guitar musician was just the highlight of our whole trip !!! The sea was gentle and the breeze just enough to set the sails and navigate away from the city to get the perfect views of the skyline of Barcelona. Amazing experience : very peaceful. The live music added the perfect touch of chill, excellent musician. Our captain Mary has been very nice and provided us explanations of the main sightseeings and some recomendation for going out. We really recommend this trip in music : don't miss it !!!

Unforgettable experience with Marie, an adorable French captain who knows Barcelona perfectly and was able to advise us for other visits! The excellent guitarist delighted us by playing songs at our request and others of his choice that perfectly matched the Mood of the sunset... icing on the cake, we were able to swim in the open sea by diving from the boat, really an outing that we recommend to all those who pass through Barcelona and want to experience something exceptional

We wanted for our wedding anniversary to take the sun , the sea, the sea, and we were delighted, Captain Marie from our arrival is very welcoming, smiling , bubbly, listening to our desires. It was great, we could ask the guitarist for the melodies, music we wanted. Purely awesome, especially at sunset with the guitar in the background, awesome. Captain Marie very discreet and always present, very pleasant, you can go with your eyes closed.
