Barcelona: Ferrari Car Driving & Sailing Experience

A Ferrari drive followed by a sail gives you two very different views of Barcelona in one compact outing: the city from the road, then its coast from the water. I like the contrast, and I like that the boat portion includes a skipper, snacks and a choice of drinks rather than leaving you to arrange those extras.

The main catch is practical: the activities start at different locations, and transport between them is not included. You’ll also need to account for a €1,000 deposit before the Ferrari drive, as well as the age and driving-license rules.

The details to know before you book

• A short Ferrari drive: You get about 20 minutes on scenic Barcelona roads, with a driving instructor alongside.
• A longer stretch at sea: The sailing portion lasts 1.5 hours and takes place aboard the yacht Bombon, with a skipper.
• A package for two: The listed inclusions cover a driver and passenger, plus two places on the boat.
• Snacks and drinks are included: Expect olives, cheese, fuet and fruit, with options such as wine, beer, sangria, cava and vermouth.
• The drive has extra requirements: The driver must be over 21, bring identification and, in some cases, show an international driving license. A €1,000 deposit is required before driving.
• Plan the transfer yourself: Check in at Port Olímpic for the boat, while the driving experience starts at Passeig de Joan de Borbó 86.

Two Barcelona experiences, one outing

This package puts a quick burst of driving beside a slower stretch on the Mediterranean. The Ferrari portion is the headline for some people, while the sail gives the outing more time to settle into the coast and enjoy a drink or a snack.

The schedule lists a 20-minute drive and 1.5 hours of sailing, which totals about 1 hour and 50 minutes. The advertised duration is two hours, so allow for a little flexibility around the handoff and check the confirmed timing before you go. The provider says it will contact you to confirm the time of each activity.

The small group limit is two participants, matching the package’s driver-and-passenger setup and the two boat seats included. That’s a good fit if you’re booking as a pair and want both people to share the experience. It’s less useful if you’re traveling with a larger group and hoped to bring everyone along.

The provider is Sailing Experience Barcelona & Sea SL. The boat is called Bombon, a handy detail to remember when you arrive at the marina.

What the Ferrari drive is really like

The driving portion lasts about 20 minutes, so think of it as a compact taste of driving a Ferrari, not a long road trip. You’ll drive on scenic roads in Barcelona with an instructor beside you. That instructor is part of the experience, and the arrangement may help you focus on the car and the route rather than figuring everything out alone.

A past participant described cruising the Barcelona streets in a drop-top. That makes an open-top car a possibility, but the package details do not promise a particular Ferrari model or body style. If the roof or exact car matters to you, ask the provider before booking rather than assuming you’ll get the same setup.

The driver must be over 21. Bring your passport or ID card, and check the license requirement for your country: holders of licenses from countries outside the Vienna Convention must show an international driving license. The information supplied does not spell out the deposit terms, so ask how the €1,000 deposit is handled before you commit. It is a substantial sum to have ready, even if it is separate from the advertised price.

The experience is at Passeig de Joan de Borbó 86, not at the boat’s check-in point. That distinction matters. The drive and sail are not connected by included transport, so you’ll need to arrange your own way between the two locations and confirm which activity comes first. Don’t assume the sequence is fixed: the provider says the schedule will be confirmed with you.

Boarding Bombon at Port Olímpic

The sailing portion is the longer half of the outing, at about 1.5 hours. Check in at Sailing Experience Barcelona in Port Olímpic, where the boat is named Bombon. Arrive 10 minutes before departure, as requested.

Once aboard, a skipper handles the sailing while you take in the Barcelona coast from the water. That shift in pace is part of the appeal: after the brief drive, you can sit back, watch the shoreline and enjoy a drink without needing to steer or plan the route yourself. The exact sights and sailing conditions are not specified, so treat this as a coastal outing rather than a promise of particular landmarks or a specific route.

Light snacks are included: olives, cheese, fuet and fruit. Drinks include wine, beer, sangria, cava and vermouth. The selection makes the boat portion feel more like a relaxed social stop than a bare-bones transfer, and it adds useful value to the package. If you have dietary needs or questions about what is available on the day, ask the operator in advance; no substitutions or special menus are listed.

A 1.5-hour sail gives you enough time to enjoy the open water without turning the outing into a half-day commitment. Still, the boat is only one part of a tightly timed combination. If you want a long, leisurely cruise, this may feel short. If you want a taste of the coast that fits around other Barcelona plans, the timing is more convenient.

Two meeting points mean a little planning

The boat check-in is in Port Olímpic, while the Ferrari drive begins at Passeig de Joan de Borbó 86. Since transport between the activities is not included, work out your transfer before the day and leave room for the journey. The confirmed activity times will help you decide how much time you have between stops.

The provider asks for your complete international phone number so the team can contact you about the driving time. Give a number you can access while in Spain, and keep an eye out for that message. The driving experience takes place on the same day or at a time confirmed by the car company, so the exact schedule is not something to guess at from the advertised two-hour duration.

The two locations also make the order worth confirming. The listed route places the sailing check-in first, but the driving activity has its own start point and its timing is confirmed separately. Before setting other plans around this package, make sure you know where to be first, how the second activity fits in and how you’ll get between them.

Is $140 per person good value?

At the stated price of $140 per person, the package combines a Ferrari driving experience for two people with two seats on a 1.5-hour boat tour. The sailing includes a skipper, light snacks and several drink choices. If you want both a driving experience and a coastal outing, bundling them can be more convenient than arranging two separate activities.

The value depends on what you want from the Ferrari portion. Twenty minutes is a short drive, so this is best viewed as a chance to take the wheel briefly, not as an extended tour by car. The sailing is the longer part and may be the better value for anyone who wants time to relax on the water.

Remember that the €1,000 deposit is required before the Ferrari drive. The information provided does not explain its terms, so ask whether it is a hold or a charge and how it is returned before booking. That deposit is separate from the listed per-person price, but it affects what you need to have available on the day.

A few past participants praised the fun, friendly staff and value for money. One specifically enjoyed driving a drop-top around Barcelona. Those details point to the package’s strongest appeal: it is an unusual, high-energy treat for a pair, with a relaxed boat trip to balance the short drive. They do not guarantee a particular car or a specific staff member, so keep expectations flexible.

Who will enjoy this most

I’d consider this outing if you’re traveling as a pair and one of you is keen to drive a Ferrari while both want time on the water. It also suits anyone looking for a special-occasion activity that mixes a little spectacle with a quieter coastal break. The small participant limit keeps the group compact, and the included snacks and drinks make the sailing feel complete without requiring you to plan every detail.

It is a weaker fit if you want a long drive, need transport between activities included, or are not comfortable with the deposit requirement. It also won’t work for a driver under 21. If no one in your party meets the license rules, the driving part may not be possible, so confirm eligibility before booking.

You can reserve now and pay later, and cancellation is available up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. Check availability for start times, and remember that the operator will confirm the timing of each activity. Live tour guide languages listed are Spanish, English, French and German; ask which language will be available for your slot if that matters to you.

Should you book the Ferrari and sail?

Book it if you want a memorable two-person outing with a quick Ferrari drive, a longer sail, and snacks and drinks included. The combination gives you a playful taste of the road and a calmer view of Barcelona from the sea, while keeping the overall activity to about two hours.

Before paying, confirm the schedule, the transfer between the two start points, the deposit terms and your driver’s license eligibility. If those details work for you, this is a fun way to add two very different experiences to one Barcelona day. If you want a substantial drive or a full-length sailing trip, choose one activity on its own and give it more time.
