About

Brutal Barcelona WaterSports at Port Olympic offers families with older kids and teens access to premium Mediterranean experiences that most visitors only glimpse from the shore. Private sailing and yacht charters, jet ski rentals, and parasailing combine to make this one of the most comprehensive adventure watersports operations in Barcelona — and the Port Olympic setting adds a dose of genuine glamour to the whole experience.

For families who want to give their teens something truly memorable, a private yacht charter ranks near the top of what Barcelona can offer. Stepping aboard a yacht at Port Olympic, motoring out past the harbor into open Mediterranean waters, and spending an hour or two on the sea while the city skyline recedes behind you is an experience that's hard to replicate anywhere. The boats accommodate families comfortably, and skippers are experienced guiding groups who range from seasoned sailors to complete beginners.

Jet ski rentals and parasailing are also available as standalone activities, making it possible to mix and match based on your family's preferences and budget. A multi-activity session — perhaps starting with parasailing to get the aerial view, then moving to a jet ski run — makes for an extraordinary half-day that teens will talk about long after the trip ends. Age and weight minimums apply for jet ski and parasailing (typically 12+), so check requirements when booking.

The Port Olympic marina has an excellent range of restaurants for a post-adventure lunch — fresh seafood is the obvious choice.
