The charming coastal town of El Masnou provides the perfect launch point for Mediterranean sailing adventures, just minutes from Barcelona.
Two standout excursions make the most of this prime location: a breezy 2-hour coastal cruise, and a more ambitious 4-hour sailing-and-wine combo tour.
We love the 2-hour private cruise for its simplicity and value – you’ll glide along the Costa Maresme while sipping cava, with time for a quick swim at Barceloneta Beach.
The 4-hour experience earns our top rating by combining sailing to Port Masnou with a visit to a medieval winery in nearby Alella.
Both tours keep groups intimate (11 people max) and focus on authentic local experiences.
Let’s explore the best sailing options from El Masnou:
