REVIEW · BARCELONA SAILING TOURS
Barcelona: Ferrari Car Driving & Sailing Experience
Two hours, one Ferrari, one sail. You get a fast, fun Ferrari drive with a guide nearby, then switch to a relaxed sailing tour on the water, all in the same day. The setup is simple and punchy, so you feel like you actually used your time in Barcelona.
I love that this is built for just 2 people, one driver and one passenger, which keeps the experience focused. I also like that the sea time comes with light snacks and drinks, so the sailing part feels like a real treat rather than a quick taxi to the next attraction.
The main thing to consider is logistics: the Ferrari part requires a 1,000-euro deposit and it starts at a different address than where you check in for the boat.
Key things that make this Ferrari and sail combo worth it

- Small group of 2 participants means more attention and less waiting around
- Ferrari drive with an instructor so you are not guessing your way around the roads
- 1.5-hour sailing time on the Mediterranean with a skipper
- On-board snacks and drinks included, from olives and cheese to sangria and cava
- Port Olimpic check-in on the Bombon makes the start of the sea portion easy to visualize
What You Get in This 2-Hour Ferrari and Sail Combo

This is a tight, 2-hour package that mixes adrenaline and calm. You drive a Ferrari for about 20 minutes, then spend 1.5 hours on a sailing yacht along the Barcelona coast. If you want a Barcelona experience that feels different from the usual walking route, this is a strong pick.
You are not just getting a car ride and a boat ride. You get structure: a driving instructor for the Ferrari portion, and a skipper for the yacht. That matters because it reduces stress, especially if your driving comfort level is unknown.
Also, the snack and drink part is not an afterthought. On the yacht you get olives, cheese, fuet, and fruit, plus drinks like wine, beer, sangria, cava, and vermouth. That little detail changes the whole tone of the sailing segment from casual to proper vacation mode.

The Ferrari Part: 20 Minutes Behind the Wheel With an Instructor

The Ferrari portion is designed around confidence, not chaos. You drive with an instructor beside you, so you have real guidance while you enjoy that next-level thrill of acceleration and city driving. The time is short on purpose, so you get the fun without turning it into a long, tiring commitment.
A big practical note: the driver must be over 21, and you need to bring the right documents. If you are the passenger, you are along for the ride, but you are not driving. If neither of you meets the driving requirements, this may be less useful as a “Ferrari thrill” experience.
You also should expect a deposit requirement. Before the Ferrari driving activity begins, a deposit of 1,000 euros is required. This is the kind of cost you should plan for in your budget and payment setup, even if the base tour price feels relatively straightforward.
Sailing on the Bombon: 1.5 Hours on the Mediterranean With Snacks and Drinks

After the drive, the pace slows down fast. You head to the Mediterranean side of the day and settle into a sailing rhythm guided by the skipper. This is where you get the payoff views, not just from the coast, but from the way sailing changes how you feel the wind and the movement of the water.
The yacht is called Bombon, and you check in at Sailing Experience Barcelona in Port Olimpic. The sea time is 1.5 hours, long enough to actually enjoy it, not just to say you were on a boat.
Food and drinks are included, and that is a major quality-of-life detail. You get light snacks including olives, cheese, fuet, and fruit. For drinks, the list is broad: wine, beer, sangria, cava, and vermouth. If you like having something in your hands while you watch the coastline, you will likely feel happy about this part of the package.
This sailing time also works well as the “reset” after the car. Even if you are the adrenaline type, you can use the boat segment to cool off, take photos, and soak in the sea air without any planning.
Meeting Points and Timing: Port Olimpic Plus the Ferrari Start Address
Here is the part that can trip people up if they do not plan ahead. You have two key locations:
First, you check in at Sailing Experience Barcelona in Port Olimpic, where the boat is Bombon. You should arrive 10 minutes before the departure time for that portion.
Second, the driving experience begins at Paseo Juan de Borbón 86, Barcelona 08039. The full day schedule may vary slightly, since you receive a message confirming times for each activity, and the driving time can be at the time confirmed by the car company.
One more important detail: transportation between the two activities is not included. That means you should either budget for a ride between locations or confirm how they handle movement on the day. If you prefer everything locked in with zero thinking, this is the one area where you will want to be extra clear before you go.
The upside is that the language support is there. You get a live guide who speaks Spanish, English, French, and German, which helps a lot when you are matching up times and meeting points.
Price, Deposit, and Value: What $140 Covers and What Costs Extra

At $140 per person, the headline price is in the “experiences, not cheap gimmicks” zone. For Barcelona, you are paying for two distinct parts: a short Ferrari drive with instructor support, plus a full sailing segment with skipper and food and drinks.
What makes the value feel more reasonable is what is included with the sail: a proper 1.5-hour boat ride and a real snack-and-drink setup, not just a token glass of something. If you were to price those pieces separately, the package starts to make more sense fast.
The catch is that the Ferrari has an extra 1,000-euro deposit before driving. The package price does not include that deposit, so your true “ready to go” budget is higher than $140 until that deposit is handled. Also, transportation between the drive and the boat is not included.
So how do you decide if it is worth it? I think it is a good value if:
- you want both land thrill and sea relaxation in the same day
- you are comfortable managing the deposit requirement
- you can handle getting between the locations on your own (or you know how you will do it)
If you want a no-surprises day with everything bundled, you might feel the pinch from the deposit and the separate locations.

Small-Group Setup for 2 People: Who This Fits Best
This is a small-group experience limited to 2 participants. In practice, that lines up with the driver and passenger format. That makes it a strong option for couples, a pair of friends, or anyone traveling with one companion who wants different roles.
If you are driving, you get the thrill plus the structure of having an instructor right there. If you are the passenger, you still get the full experience without the pressure. On the sailing side, both of you get to enjoy the views, snacks, and drinks together.
This also tends to suit people who want a memorable, photo-friendly day without committing to a full half-day tour of museums and long walking. The whole package is compact, which is helpful if you have limited time in Barcelona or you already have big plans for the rest of the day.
If you are coming with a group bigger than two, this is not the right format. You would need separate bookings, and the whole point of the attention and flow may get harder to manage.
Practical Stuff to Bring: ID, License Rules, and Contact Info

To keep things smooth, bring passport or an ID card. Driving requires more paperwork than just showing up at the car. The driving license rules depend on where your license came from.
If your license is from a country not in the Vienna Convention, you need an international driving license. If you are unsure about your situation, check ahead of time, not on the morning of your drive. This is one of those “small detail, big consequence” items.
You also should provide your complete international phone number for contact. That matters because you are told to look out for a message confirming the times of each activity, and the driving portion can run at a time confirmed by the car company.
Finally, keep your timing realistic. Arrive 10 minutes early for check-in at Port Olimpic. On a day with two locations, being late can cascade into delays.
The Verdict: Book It or Skip It

I would book this if you want a Barcelona day that mixes speed and sea in a structured, small-group format. The Ferrari drive with an instructor is the action piece, and the Bombon sailing with snacks and drinks is the calm reward. At $140 per person, the value is strongest when you factor in that included food and drink, plus the guided nature of both halves.
I would think twice if:
- you cannot meet the driving requirements (driver must be over 21)
- you do not want to deal with the 1,000-euro deposit
- you prefer transportation between stops to be included
- you are not comfortable handling the driving license requirements tied to Vienna Convention rules
If you can handle the logistics, this is the kind of experience that feels memorable fast: one part adrenaline, one part Mediterranean, and you are done before your day turns into a marathon.
