A morning in Port Olímpic begins with gulls circling low and the harbor glass reflecting a Barcelona slowly waking. Guests meet at the renovated marina, board a sleek sailing yacht and feel the Mediterranean pull them away from the city’s edge toward the open coast. The wind nudges the boat; the crew cuts lines and the yacht answers, the sea daring riders to relax and look out for the city skyline shrinking behind them.

A morning in Port Olímpic begins with gulls circling low and the harbor glass reflecting a Barcelona slowly waking. Guests meet at the renovated marina, board a sleek sailing yacht and feel the Mediterranean pull them away from the city’s edge toward the open coast. The wind nudges the boat; the crew cuts lines and the yacht answers, the sea daring riders to relax and look out for the city skyline shrinking behind them.
The route threads past Bogatell, Badalona and Montgat beaches before reaching the sheltered marina at El Masnou—the gateway to the Alella DO, one of Catalonia’s oldest wine regions with viticulture dating back to Roman times. Vineyards cling to terraced slopes of Miocene soils; small family bodegas carry forward a culture of dry, mineral-driven whites and light reds. Visitors get a guided tour of a local winery, taste regional varietals and learn how coastal breezes shape the grapes.
Practical notes are direct: this is a five-hour combination of van transfer, vineyard visit and roughly an hour or two on a sailing yacht with snacks and a limited drinks allowance. Towels aren’t supplied; guests should bring swimwear if they intend to jump in. The experience suits most fitness levels—mobility is mainly easy walking and boarding a yacht—though those prone to seasickness should prepare.
Expect a balance of open-water quiet and cultivated hillside charm. Time your visit for calm seas, bring sun protection, and leave with a clearer sense of why Barcelona’s coastline and nearby Alella have long been a coastal pairing of salt and vine.
The full experience lasts about five hours, including transfers, sailing time and the winery visit.
No—guests must bring their own towels if they plan to swim from the yacht.
The tour is family-friendly and generally suitable for many fitness levels, but boarding the yacht and walking in the vineyard require basic mobility; contact the operator for specific accessibility needs.
The sailing portion includes 2–3 drinks per person (wine, beer, cava or soft drinks) and the winery tasting is led by staff who guide sampling portions.
