Private Sailing Trips on a Classic Boat
Private Sailing Charters – Sailing Barcelona
Built in 1947, Gemini has all the style of a timeless classic
As soon as you have stepped aboard and we have all introduced ourselves, we will prepare to leave the mooring, we’ll hoist the sails, switch off the engine, and start sailing in the beautiful Mediterranean sea.
During your boat tour, we’ll sail along the Barcelona coastline as the wind direction and sea conditions let us, enjoying a very different and spectacular view of the city. You can kick back and relax, or help out with sailing the boat and have a go at the tiller, just as you wish.
Built in 1947, Gemini provides an unforgettable location to:
- Spend some quality time with your family
- Celebrate a birthday or anniversary
- Enjoy a peaceful interlude during a hectic stag or hen weekend
- Have a relaxing day out with friends
- Treat yourselves to a romantic sunset cruise

If you are close to the stations by either the ‘Arc de Triomph’ or ‘El Clot’, this is your best public transport option. The line you need is (R1).
