Itinerary
The tour starts with a sail through the old and luxorious port of Barcelona.
See the maremagnum shopping center, that is sitting on the sea.
See the cristobal columbus monument from the seaside. Did you know that he is pointing at the wrong direction? Did you know that you'll find the first elevator ever built in barcelona inside the monument?
See the impressive Sail-shaped skyscraper by the sea.
We will stop at this stop as it is the best place to see the skyline of barcelona. If you wish ask the captain for a quick swim stop.
You'll see the Montjuïc Castle, feel free to ask the captain about the history and facts about this place.
The boat will turn around close to this zone and slowly sail back to port.
A Historical Landmark that you'll be able to see from the catamaran
See our twin towers next to the olympic vila
A funny looking landmark. Historically built for the water company offices, than sold to a real estate investor.
You'll see this land mark far away next to tibidabo. Originally built for the olympic TV transmission 1992.

The actual boat cruise and staff were amazing. Visitor did a horrible job and had us completely confused. The tickets emailed to me on the day of purchase gave a different meeting point than the next days excursion. Two different ports. When we realized the tickets were different the next day we grabbed a cab and followed the address given. Our tickets were for boat dock 1533 but Viator had us going to 153 as printed on the second day directions so we almost missed the boat. Also no one answered when I called the contact number Viator provided. I will never use Viator again and will discourage anyone I know to not use them. Being in a foreign country and being given so much incorrect information almost made our plans not enjoyable. The staff on the boat made up for it. Shame on you! Check your facts
The catamaran is amazing and the trip outside of Barcelona to cruise and dip in the water was great! Had no issues with tapas as some others had in past reviews. Didn’t expect much as far as food goes but there was a decent tapas plate for each party. Lots of drinks on board. Some are included, and there are more for extra cost which was very reasonable. The one negative I would say is the communication of the booking company with finding the meeting location. There were mixed messaging that caused us to almost miss our charter. The address of the meet up had a slip with a different boat in that slip. We were early well in advance but there’s no one checking in like some of the other tents in the location. The other locals in that area were not helpful at all and actually sent us to catch a taxi to a different port down the way, then we booked it back to the original location, what a mess. We realized we actually walked past the boat the first time. They did not leave and waited for us about 10 minutes late. We book a catamaran on every trip. Mike was absolutely our best captain ever! Vanessa took care of the interior well. Their vibe made our day and lowered our stresses of finding the meet spot. Both very personal and authentic. I’d suggest the owner to place some sort of sign at the boat prior to time of meet up. Even a little dry-erase sign would go a long way.
Excellent since we got excellent attention from Lorens attentive to all a very nice experience you can sunbathe, swim and see Barcelona from the sea
180€ for 4 sodas , 1 ONLY potato tapas, 1 2 hour tour of catamarans in the port only because of the wind!! Tourist trap, to flee, I do not recommend!
Dear customer, You posted your review on the wrong company page, seeeing the photos, you did the trip with the company THIS IS MED and not with us. We don't provide potato chips as tapas, we provide local dry ham, fuet, local cheese and toasts. Also what surprises us is that in cases of bad weather such as rain or strong wind, we always cancel the tour and offer a full refund. Again, You are confusing us with a different company! With over 300 verified reviews and an average of 4.8/5 on other platforms, we are confident in the quality of what we provide. That said, we are always happy to find a solution if there was any misunderstanding. Please contact us at info@velarischarter. And we kindly ask you to remove the review and post it on the correct company profile. Kind regards, Lorenz
Amazing tour of the Barcelona harbor and coastline with a really friendly attentive crew. Great drinks and food!
Experience worth it. I recommend it for couples or something intimate as it is a walk to relax , in my case it was a gift for 3 and do something different in family of girls . We really liked it, attentive staff and very good wine.

I loved the outing we did. Lorenz is a very experienced and professional captain and speaks 5 languages. The ease of switching from one language to another to converse with different customers is surprising. That's already a 10. It is super attentive and helpful and the tour along the Barcelona coast was fantastic. We did the sunset and seeing the Skyline of Barcelona is spectacular. Super nice. I highly recommend it. He doesn't let anything down. As soon as I can repeat.
