Itinerary
Before the 1992 Summer Olympic Games, Barcelona was a city that had lived turning its back to the sea. This changed dramatically when Barcelona was chosen to host the 1992 Olympic Games. Plans were announced for the development of a new sports marina, several docks, a new neighborhood to house the athletes –The Olympic Village– and two skyscrapers (Hotel Arts & Mapfre Tower). In preparation for the Olympic Games, Barcelona went through the most dramatic makeover in recent history. As a result, the city turned into a true Mediterranean city by opening its doors to the sea.
The 52m long golden fish sculpture El Peix is one of the best known and most striking landmarks on Barcelona’s seafront. It’s gold coloured stainless steel surface shines under the Mediterranean sun and changes appearance depending on the angle of the sun and the current weather conditions.

Do NOT waste your time in this. It was basically a water taxi with potato chips to share and one drink. No music, no water, definitely NO FUN. It cost me the fees and the $50 taxi ride round trip to waste my time. If you want a fun time and water do not book this excursion.
Captain Marie was great, welcoming and provided clear safety instructions! Plays great music catering to all music lovers. Great sail!!

We had the bold idea to take a boat ride with María before our departure. Both the captain and her chief immediately dispelled our doubts, and the excursion became one of the best experiences. It was very pleasant on a hot day; the coffee and non-alcoholic drinks were excellent, and the little snack was superb. But the best part of all was the company, which was very enjoyable. Thank you very much, and we recommend it to everyone. We wish you all the best with your magnificent work.

The communication was seamless and the professionalism of the staff were superb. The boat was very clean and in great condition and the snacks and drinks was a great bonus! Carlos the captain was so funny and entertaining, he even let me try to drive the ship's wheel. One of the highlights of my solo trip to Barcelona, definitely a must try!
