Barcelona Sunset Catamaran Cruise with Dinner & Drinks

Summary

Small group sunset sailing in Barcelona with drinks and dinner option

You’ll sail along Barcelona’s coast at sunset with a small group, sipping local drinks and snacking on Spanish ham and cheese as city lights flicker onshore. With an option to add dinner cooked by a chef onboard, plus paddle surfing if you’re brave enough, this is one of those evenings you’ll remember long after you’re back home.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect the city to look so different from the water — Barcelona’s skyline kind of melts into this soft gold when you’re out on the catamaran, and honestly, I almost missed it while fussing with my sangria (which was stronger than I thought). Our skipper, Jordi, joked that locals never get tired of this view. He pointed out Montjuïc just as the sun started dipping behind it, and I swear everyone went quiet for a second. You could hear the distant music from the beach bars drifting over, mixed with the slap of waves against the hull.

There were only about ten of us on board — a couple celebrating something (they kept whispering), a family with two kids who kept trying to paddle surf (with varying results), and me just soaking it all in. The snacks came out early: jamón, manchego, some hummus with these crunchy veggies. Not fancy but honestly perfect after a hot day in the city. If you book the dinner upgrade, there’s a chef right there grilling up fresh fish — I didn’t go for it this time but caught a whiff and instantly regretted not adding it.

Jordi told stories about growing up near Barceloneta and how he still sneaks down for late-night swims when nobody’s around. It made me think about how locals see their own city — not just as postcard views but as little routines and memories. By the time we turned back toward port, the sky was streaky pink and orange and someone put on old Spanish pop songs. I still think about that light on everyone’s faces — maybe it was just cava talking but everything felt softer somehow.
