The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive early for boarding

Plan to be at Port Olímpic 15 minutes before departure for check-in and a quick safety briefing.

Bring swim gear and towel

If you want to swim, bring a swimsuit and towel—skipper will stop only if sea conditions are calm.

Sun protection is critical

Even a short cruise exposes you to strong sun—use high-SPF sunscreen and wear sunglasses or a hat.

Secure footwear

Wear non-slip, non-marking shoes or sandals to move safely on deck.

Conservation Note

Respect local regulations: avoid smoking on deck, minimize single-use plastics, and follow skipper guidance to protect bathing zones and marine life.

Port Olímpic was redeveloped for the 1992 Olympic Games, transforming an industrial shoreline into a recreational marina and beach gateway.
