Sailing with Didac was a great experience, he knows the area and really wants to make sure everyone on board has a great experience, whether one wants to learn more about sailing or about the area or whether one just wants to chill in peace. Boat rental fares in Barcellona can be high and with that in mind the price was quite reasonable. I would totally recommend Didac for any sailing trip and his well maintained Dufour.
It was a fantastic morning with Didac. His knowledge and experience made the trip even more special and I would go with him anytime again.
We had an amazing time with our group of girls on the boat. Didac was very welcoming, forthcoming, thoughtful and uncomplicated. We highly recommend this experience and will come back for sure!
I was celebrating my birthday on the boat with Didac as our skipper, and I can say I had the best time. The most trustworthy and best experience I’ve ever got. Didac will make you the best offer and really does everything to make sure you are comfortable and enjoying your experience. From now on, I know who I will contact when ever I need a boat and a skipper with it. The only skipper you can trust in Spain.
Everything was excellent. Didac was a fantastic captain and host. We had a great time.
We really enjoyed our trip and everything was great. We could bring our own drinks & music and the skipper was very kind and knowledgeable! Would recommend!
Didac was very hospitable from the first minute. Communication in advance went very smoothly. When we arrived, we were immediately greeted warmly and helped on board. The trip itself was a combination of fun and educational. Didac showed us around Port Vell and told us all about the America's Cap, super interesting! Highly recommended !
We had an unforgettable experience on the aboard with our family of seven. The trip was perfectly suited for both adults and my 8 year old son, providing a delightful adventure for everyone. A special thank you to Didac for the fascinating stories and ensuring our journey was both enjoyable and safe. We highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a unique and memorable outing.
A sailing trip of 10! Without a doubt on a next getaway I will count on Didac!
Very good trip. The skipper take care in all moment about our happiness in the boat
Professional owner. I appreciated how he clearly and quickly communicated with me and the trip was very well organized. Thank you.
Due to a family emergency, the plans changed last minute but we were taken out on a great boat by a great captain. We got to see dolphins swimming under the bow, and some of the America's cup racers; It was a great charter.
Great navigation! Didac is great
The truth is that we had a spectacular birthday with Didac, a charming person, very open, always smiling and helped us with everything we needed to enjoy a wonderful day on the boat. Furthermore, the high level of English he has made things a lot easier. The boat is great and very well equipped! We are convinced that we will repeat!
What an incredible experience! We were so nervous about the weather and didn't know what to do but Didac was flexible and incredibly helpful. The boat was awesome, the swimming was great. We would do this again in a heartbeat!
SPECTACULAR! The best experience, the captain is an excellent person, great atmosphere! We have had a beautiful journey! Everything was perfect!

Brilliant!! ? We were there on Saturday, May 11 to celebrate a bachelorette party. Didac was very friendly and attentive, at all times he explained to us the operation of the boat, curious facts about the sea and navigation and he was very kind to us. It was a great success to have done this activity and to have chosen him!! ?⛵? Highly recommended.
Had an amazing time with Didac! Perfect weather, great discoveries, and unforgettable moments. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks very much to Didac ! We were there for one of my friend’s bachelor party and we enjoyed our boat trip so much. Didac was super interesting while explaining us a lot about sailing and others stuffs. He was also very kind and provide us everything we needed. We would definitely recommend ! Thanks again
Dídac was very attentive throughout the reservation process. Responding quickly and providing all the facilities. He answered our questions and gave us directions to get to the boat without problems. During the departure he was very attentive at all times, ensuring that we enjoyed a magnificent evening! Without a doubt, highly recommended! Thank you Dídac for everything!
One of the best boat we experienced. Didac was very informative and gave us ride of old Port. He was helpful in every possible way. I’ll definitely recommend him for your trip to barcelona.
It was a very special day for us, Didac's treatment was incredible and he made us feel very comfortable. Thank you very much for everything Dídac!
Didac is a very professional and friendly skipper, it was a nice performance cruiser sailboat, and our family group had a great day out despite not the warmest and sunniest day in end of March. Recommended.
We were a group of 12 people for a bachelor party. Didac is a very friendly person and with whom we had a great time. Didac takes the time to explain everything to us about sailing and Barcelona. He is someone who is very educational. We were able to eat and toast on the boat. He himself owns his boat, which makes the exchanges more enriching. We were able to unfurl the sail Also, the organization of the activity went very well. He quickly answers the questions asked of him. I can only recommend it. Thank you Didac, it was a pleasure.
The most amazing trip ! Thank you for having us 🤩🤩
Very quick to respond, friendly and professional
Hello, the boat service was very good, the guy was very friendly. The boat was very nice and very well equipped.?⛴️?
100% recommended! We spent a wonderful morning along the coast of Barcelona, Didac very attentive at all times, an experience that I would undoubtedly repeat again. Thank you Didac for this good experience and celebration of my birthday.
Our 4-hour boat-trip with Didac was amazing!! Didac is so nice, kind, and gentle to talk with. He explained many things about the different boats and the sailing world to us and even gave us the opportunity to sail under his supervision! I coulnd't recommend him more !!
Thanks for the trip Didac 👍
All Great!
Didac is an absolutely great host. Very easy to communicate with and very attentive to the wishes of his guests. The boat is also very comfortable and spacious. Highly recommended.
I had a great time, enjoy my birthday, excellent navigation, I would repeat it again
Highly recommended experience!! Didac was very nice, we had some dizziness during the start and he changed the route so that we were calm. It promised rain and Didac was attentive to the weather days before the reservation and throughout the journey as well, the truth was that it was reassuring. We brought food and drinks and played our music the whole time. We enjoyed it very much:)
Didac is the nicest captain and made our day the best day of our holiday! Beautiful boat supported by excellent knowledge with a friendly and relaxed attitude. We had a mixed group with 2 grandparents, 3 parents and 4 kids aged 7-10 and everyone had a great time. Would certainly book again and recommend to everyone! Thank you Didac!!
Didac was a great Captain. From booking to dropping us off after the trip communication was complete and seamless. We sailed around the north eastern part of Menorca. We stopped 3 different times to swim and snorkel. If you want a relaxing day on the water, go with Didac, you’re in good hands with him.
Dídac is a magnificent patron. Super professional and transmits his passion for sailing in each comment. Always dedicate effort and time to explain to us the operation of any aspect of navigation. And get to know the best corners of our coast to anchor in the best and least known coves. And if you want to sail, his Dufour is a thoroughbred for racing. Without a doubt we will repeat.
This beautiful Dufor 44 Sport Performance Yacht is absolutely fabulous! Didac is a very knowledgeable and caring Skipper that ensures your sailing comfort. We were amazed at the beauty that Didac showed us on the Mediterranean sea. We are already planning our next excursion with Didac! The whole sailing experience with Didac went well beyond our expectations!! This day at sea gave us memories that will never fade. Muchas Gracias Didac!

Conocer al patrón con el que vais a compartir vuestro tiempo de ocio, es una de las cuestiones más importantes así que me presento: Me llamo Didac y soy nacido en Barcelona hace 39 años. Soy capitán de yate y patrón profesional además de ser ingeniero industrial técnico mecánico por la Universidad Politécnica de Catalunya. Dispongo de 4 certificados profesionales de especialidad SCTW: formación básica en seguridad, operador restringido del SM, formación en botes de rescate y formación sanitaria específica inicial. Soy patrón desde 2009, he participado en numerosas regatas de costa y altura y soy muy buen conocedor de la costa catalana y de las Islas Baleares. Hablo castellano, catalán, inglés y francés y combino mi pasión por el mar con viajar, habiendo estado en más de 40 países y 4 continentes. Mi sueño es algún día, dar la vuelta al mundo a vela. Estoy profesionalizado, eso significa que dedico el 100% de mi tiempo a navegar y a cuidar personalmente el velero, tanto en aspecto estético como mecánico. Al ser propietario, me intereso por el más mínimo detalle y tras cada reserva, limpio y desinfecto el velero, tanto en interiores como cubierta, garantizando un espacio saludable Covid-Free. Preparo todas las reservas con antelación, al gusto de mis clientes, estudiando la meteorología muy al detalle y ofrezco consejos para que la experiencia sea extraordinaria.
