Board the Catamaran Orsom at Moll de Drassanes, near the Columbus monument, for a 90-minute sail along Barcelona’s coast.

“A litte hiccup in the booking but they dealt with it well. I was rebooked on the first available trip. Laying on the netting over the water was so relaxing. It was a little choppy especially when we got into open water under full sail, which was so much fun, like a fairground ride and you never knew when you would get splashed. I usually enjoy jazz in the evening but I felt so chilled jazz was the perfect choice. Smooth sound from the saxophone. Sheer bliss.”
