Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a private boat trip in Barcelona cost?
The base rate is €150 for 1 hour, including captain, fuel and drinks. Each additional hour costs €80. So: 2h = €230, 3h = €310, 4h = €390. With a full group of 6 that works out at under €25 per person for the first hour, and under €14 per person for each extra hour.
How many people can come on board?
The boat takes up to 6 guests, plus the captain - and it's always private, just for your group.
Can I choose what time I depart?
Yes - you choose the start time when you book. We'll confirm availability and the exact meeting point at Port Olímpic.
What is the minimum booking duration?
The minimum is 1 hour. You can add as many extra hours as you like at €80 each.
Can I book without a boat licence?
Yes. A professional captain is always on board and handles all navigation, so you never need a licence or previous experience - just turn up at Port Olímpic.
What is the "titulín" (Licencia de Navegación) and do I need it?
The Licencia de Navegación, popularly called titulín, is Spain's entry-level boat permit obtained in a one-day course. It lets you skipper boats up to 6 m within 2 nautical miles of the coast in daytime. You don't need it - or any other licence - for this trip, because it comes with a captain. If you hold a licence and want to steer, just tell the captain on the day - the helm is yours once you are out of the harbour.
