The Catalonian coast delivers some of Europe’s finest sailing, with Barcelona’s port serving as the perfect launch point. Mediterranean waters here are ideal for both novice and experienced sailors year-round. For value and authenticity, I particularly love the half-day Americas Cup experience – you’ll actually help crew a genuine racing yacht. Another standout is the sunset cruise with tapas, which combines great food with spectacular views of Barcelona’s skyline. The Costa del Maresme stretch offers more intimate sailing adventures, perfect for those wanting to escape the city crowds. For private sailing, several local operators provide well-maintained yachts with experienced skippers. Let’s explore the best sailing tours along this remarkable coastline.
