It was superb! The boat is very spacious: it accommodated 8 people, and we weren't cramped. We booked a 4-hour trip and had time to do everything we could: going out to sea, swimming, visiting the old port, and having a picnic.
Didac taught us some of the basics of sailing, and we were able to take the helm during the trip!
The directions to the boat were very clear, and there was excellent communication before the tour to prepare for the trip.
C’était superbe ! Le bateau est très spacieux : 8 personnes et nous n’étions pas à l’étroit. Nous avons réservé une sortie de 4h et nous avons eu le temps de faire tout ce qui était possible : sortie au large, baignade, visite du vieux port, pique-nique.
Didac nous a appris quelques bases de la navigation et nous avons pu prendre la barre pendant le trajet !
Les indications pour trouver le bateau étaient très claires, excellentes communication en amont de la visite pour préparer la sortie

Our sailing excursion with Didac was fantastic. Didac got in touch with me early on (Contact information hidden) to coordinate a plan for the day and guide us to the meeting point. His boat was great and he was attentive to our wishes for the day. I would highly recommend Didac for your Barcelona sailing excursion.

Our experience with Didac could not have been better 7-9pm 17-May-2025. Didac's boat was beautiful and in fantastic condition, and Didac himself was a wonderful host - from clear and responsive communication ahead of time, to taking us out for a wonderful evening on the day, nothing could have been better.
We were a group of 11, and we unanimously agreed that this was the highlight of our long weekend in Barcelona.
If I ever find myself in Barcelona again with a similar group, I will certainly be trying to arrange another outing with Didac.
If anyone reading this is considering Didac and this boat vs another, I have no doubt it would be a mistake to go elsewhere.
Thanks again Didac and all the best,
Tom

We were a group of 10 from the UK and each member agreed that this was the highlight of our trip to Barcelona. Didac ‘s boat was in immaculate condition and his hospitality was unmatched! we even forgot our sunglasses and five minutes later we were offered a pair each. The route is lovely and the 2 hours went by at a good pace. I highly recommend, whatever the season, to use Didac’s service. Great times !

Didac was extremely accommodating, professional, and knowledgable. I was so impressed and delighted by his level of service and will definitely seek out booking him again on our next trip to Barcelona. We went out sailing on the beginning of our excursion, but given the rough water, Didac accommodated our group to boating around the marina with the motor to avoid any seasickness within our party. He had extensive knowledge about sailing and the upcoming competitions in the area which we learned all about and got to see the different countries' sailboats and mega yachts in the marina. Once the waters cleared up, we went back out to sea for some swimming which was fabulous. I also want to note he was a great communicator and his directions to meet him were very clear. Thank you Didac for an amazing time!

An unforgettable experience aboard Dídac's sailboat while we celebrated a birthday. From the moment we arrived, their hospitality was exceptional. Dídac was attentive at all times, sharing his passion for navigation and adapting the route so that we could enjoy it to the fullest.
We sailed next to the marina, taking a different look at Barcelona while Dídac guided us with his knowledge and enthusiasm. His charisma and positive energy created a welcoming and happy atmosphere. Furthermore, the sailboat was impeccable, showing the care and order that Dídac dedicates to his vessel.
I would recommend it one hundred percent and we will definitely do it again!
Una experiencia inolvidable a bordo del velero de Dídac mientras celebrábamos un cumpleaños. Desde el momento en que llegamos, su hospitalidad fue excepcional. Dídac estuvo atento en todo momento, compartiendo su pasión por la navegación y adaptando la ruta para que pudiéramos disfrutar al máximo.
Navegamos junto a la marina, dándole un vistazo diferente a Barcelona mientras Dídac nos guiaba con su conocimiento y entusiasmo. Su carisma y energía positiva crearon un ambiente acogedor y alegre. Además, el velero estaba impecable, mostrando el cuidado y el orden que Dídac dedica a su embarcación.
¡Lo recomendaría al cien por ciento y seguro que lo repetiremos!

Incredible experience with Didac and his sailboat. We sailed in front of Barcelona, while listening to our favorite music and having a few drinks. The communication with the captain has been perfect and the sailboat has exceeded our expectations, it sails wonderfully, everything one can imagine and is very well cared for. I recommend 1000% to anyone looking for a good boat and a great captain in Barcelona. We will repeat for sure!!!!

Recomiendo 1000% a cualquiera que busque un buen barco y un gran capitán en Barcelona. ¡¡¡¡Repetiremos seguro!!!!
