2.Catamaran Cruise with optional Live Jazz Music

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,797 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $20Best value

Sail from Moll de Drassanes beside Barcelona’s Columbus Monument on the Catamaran Orsom.

It is a relaxed sightseeing ride, not a narrated tour.

“This sailing excursion was beyond wonderful! The crew was extremely professional and courteous, and the cruise itself was very laid back. We are from Florida so we have done quite a few cruises like this and this one was the best by far. Highly recommend and would do it again!”

“The live music is actually a ‘one man’ performance. Just very average and very short. The view is nice but the boat seems a bit small. It’s crowded.”

4.Barcelona Sunset Live Jazz Music Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 740 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $32

Board the Catamarà Orsom at the end of La Rambla for a 90-minute sunset sail. Once beyond the harbor, the crew may raise the sails and cut the engines while live jazz, often led by a saxophonist, fills the boat. Enjoy Barcelona’s skyline, Montjuïc, beaches, drinks, and a calm start to the evening.

“The music for us was the hi-light. Beautiful saxophone and guitar playing as we sailed around the harbour. It was a cloudy evening but the sun did come out and gave a bright orange colourful display after all. We highly recommend this as a lovely way to spend 1 1/2 hours in Barcelona.”

5.From Magaluf: Palma Bay Sightseeing Cruise with Live Music

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 235 reviews · 4 hours · from $69

Sail from Magaluf along Palma Bay with live saxophone, views of Palma Cathedral, the port, Marivent Palace, Illetas, and Punta Negra. Stop in a quiet cove for swimming, paddleboarding, and water activities, then enjoy a Mediterranean buffet. The cruise ends in Palma, with a bus returning you to Magaluf.

“The tour was absolutely worth it. The staff was very nice and polite. The tour even lasted about 4 hours and the return transfer by bus was well organized and uncomplicated. The food on the boat was absolutely sufficient as a lunchtime snack and the prices for the drinks were also absolutely fair. The swimming break was well organized with stand-up paddles, underwater speed makers that you hold in front of you so you can move forward without swimming yourself and much more. The music was good and the saxophonist did a great job. Visited on August 10th, 2024 and highly recommended.”
