An In-Depth Look at the Sitges Boat Trip
Enjoy being on the water? Here are other boat experiences we've looked into in Barcelona
What’s Included and How It Works
For one flat fee of around $35, you get a seat on a small sailing boat that takes you along the Sitges coastline. The tour offers soda or pop to keep you refreshed during the trip, and you’ll have a knowledgeable guide — often praised for their friendliness and language skills — to point out sights and keep the experience engaging. Tips are not included, so if you feel the guide did a good job, a gratuity is a kind gesture but not expected.
You’ll meet at Port d’Aiguadolç early in the day — specifically at 10:00 am — and the trip ends back where it started, so no complicated transfers are needed. The mobile ticket makes it easy to confirm your reservation, and with most bookings made about 24 days in advance, it’s a popular option for those planning ahead.
What to Expect During the Itinerary
First stop: Sitges. From the water, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Garraf coast — a rugged, scenic stretch popular among locals and visitors alike. The boat’s vantage point offers a different perspective on Sitges’ charming skyline, with its blend of traditional and modern architecture. The cruise emphasizes scenic views and a relaxed atmosphere, making it an ideal way to observe the coastline without rushing.
While the tour is straightforward, that simplicity is part of its charm. It’s about enjoying the sea, the breeze, and good company. You won’t find lengthy stops or museum visits, but instead a peaceful hour and a half of sailing, perfect for unwinding or striking up conversations with fellow travelers.
The Experience and Authenticity
What travelers consistently praise are the friendly guides — like Sara and Sarah — who go out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable. One reviewer mentioned, “Sara was fantastic and a lot of fun,” highlighting the personal touch that enhances the trip. Others appreciate the trilingual communication — guides speaking Spanish, French, and English — which broadens accessibility for international visitors.
The trip’s small size fosters a cozy, social vibe. Many reviewers say they’d book again, citing the relaxing nature of the tour and the beautiful coastline views. One writes, “Such a relaxing tour around the coastline. Will 100% be booking again.” This makes it a good choice not only for solo travelers but also for couples or small groups seeking a laid-back escape.
Considerations and Who This Tour Is Best For
While this boat trip offers excellent value and authenticity, it is relatively short. If you’re hoping for a longer cruise or one with stops at other beaches or islands, you might want to explore more extensive options. Also, since the trip depends on good weather, cancellations can occur, but you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund if that happens.
This experience is best suited for travelers who want a casual, scenic, and social outing without breaking the bank. It’s perfect for those who enjoy being on the water, seeing Sitges from a different angle, and having friendly guides who make the journey enjoyable.
