The experience

I almost dropped my phone in the harbor trying to take a photo of our captain’s dog. He just sat there like he owned Port Olímpic. That’s how our private sailing trip from Barcelona started: a little chaos, sun already warming the deck, and the city behind us looking smaller every minute. Our guide, Marta, handed out cold cava before we even left the dock. She said it was “for courage,” but honestly it was just good. The salt in the air made everything taste sharper somehow.

We drifted past Barceloneta Beach where locals were already arguing over paddleball (I could hear them laughing above the water). The boat moved slow enough that I could see people waving from Nova Icaria Beach, or maybe they were just stretching, hard to tell. There was this moment when we hit open water and I realized how quiet it gets away from the city. You only hear wind and that soft slap of waves against the hull. Snacks appeared out of nowhere: olives, chips, something cheesy I still can’t pronounce.

The best part? Anchoring near Montgat beach. It’s this small fishing village north of Barcelona, not flashy at all, just clear water and a few old boats bobbing around. Marta passed out snorkels and told us to watch for silvery fish (I saw two, maybe three if you count shadows). The water was colder than I expected but after five minutes you don’t care anymore. We floated there for an hour with more cava and music someone picked from their phone: mostly Spanish pop, which felt right. On the way back, sunburned and salty, everyone just leaned into the breeze like we didn’t want it to end yet.
