What's included in the one-hour ride?

The experience covers 25 minutes exploring Port Vell (superyachts and historic harbour) and 25 minutes on open Mediterranean waters (potential wildlife sightings and city views). Onboard drinks are included.

Will I definitely see Americas Cup boats or dolphins?

The tour routes past Americas Cup team bases and training areas, plus open water where dolphins and sunfish occasionally appear, but sightings depend on season, time, and sea conditions. Your skipper will maximise opportunities.

How many people can go on the boat?

The vessel is licensed for a maximum of 8 passengers, each with an individual seat.

Is this suitable for non-swimmers or children?

Life jackets are mandatory and provided. Age and swimming ability requirements aren't specified in standard details—contact the operator before booking if you have specific concerns.

What should I wear and bring?

Wear swimwear or quick-dry clothes, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Bring a waterproof bag for phones and valuables, as high-speed spray is common. Secure all loose items before departure.

How rough is the water, and will I get wet?

Expect spray, especially on the open-water leg. Morning departures typically have calmer conditions. The boat is designed for high-speed comfort, but wetness varies by weather.
