Paddling in Barcelona
The Mediterranean waters that surround Barcelona’s beaches are often very calm, making it the perfect setting for a calm lake for paddling. SUP, also known as stand-up paddle, is one of the most popular water sports in Barcelona. Fun to try out with friends for a more relaxed experience as you can lie on your board to tan for some time when you get tired!
It’s super easy to pick up, so it’s possible to just rent a board for the day and set off on your own. However, if you’d rather need assistance, you can also book a guide to teach you the ropes.
Check out: SUP school to learn more about bookings and introductory courses. Or, Rent your own paddle SUP.
Flyboarding in Barcelona
Flyboarding is a new water sport that has grown in popularity worldwide in recent years (excuse the pun). If you’ve never heard of flyboarding before, let’s explain. You balance yourself on a powerful water jet board that propels you out of the water into the air and which you then control by walking up, down, forward and backward. Sounds a bit futuristic, doesn’t it? It’s next to defy gravity or become Spiderman.
It takes a little practice to get into the swing of fly boarding, but a team of certified instructors will teach you all the basics. It plunges into the extreme category of water sports listed, but with a qualified center and instructors it is completely safe and fun.

Hydrofoil and eFoil
Another one that we would forgive you for never heard of is the electric hydrofoil, or eFoil. Learn to sail the waters of Barcelona with a high-tech eFoil, a flying surfboard with a small electric motor that hovers over the surface of the water and is controlled via bluetooth. It’s the newest and most exciting way to tour the Barcelona coast!
It’s suitable for all ages and instructors can take you through introductory and advanced courses to get a grip on this futuristic way of surfing.

It’s probably one of the most difficult water sports to master in Barcelona, so it’s certainly not for the faint of heart. But if you want to take on the challenge, this is a great way to have an afternoon of adrenaline pumping.

Seabob tour
Brownie shows if you know what a seabob is! We are sure you have seen them before They are a hydrodynamic jet that you take to propel you both above and below the water. It feels like swimming like a fish and gliding leisurely through the calm waters of the Mediterranean.
One of the best things about seabobbing is that it’s totally environmentally friendly, zooming through the water powerfully and almost silently. With proper safety equipment, dive to depths of up to 40 meters to explore what lies beneath the Barcelona coast.
Check out: Jet Scoot for the best Seabob experience.
Sailing in Barcelona
Do you fancy something more chic and classy? How about a few hours of sailing the Barcelona coast with a professional skipper doing all the hard work for you? That way, you can spend more time relaxing, admiring the scenery, and sipping a glass of wine than doing the heavy lifting yourself!
Book either a private yacht touror join a larger group and sail the calm waters for the ultimate relaxation experience. We recommend a sunset sailing experience to see Barcelona in its best light under gorgeous pink skies.
