Barcelona: Ferrari Car Driving & Sailing Experience

A Ferrari drive through Barcelona followed by a sailing trip gives you two very different ways to see the city in one compact outing. You get 20 minutes behind the wheel, with an instructor alongside you, then relax aboard the Bombon yacht with drinks, snacks, and views of the Mediterranean coast.

I like the smart pairing of speed and calm, and I like that the price includes the boat for two people rather than charging only for the driver. The main catch is practical: you must arrange your own transport between the driving location and Port Olimpic, and the Ferrari company requires a €1,000 deposit before you drive.

Key points at a glance

• Ferrari driving time: You drive for about 20 minutes beside a driving instructor.
• Two-person format: One person drives while one passenger rides along, then both join the sailing trip.
• Sailing yacht: The 90-minute boat trip takes place aboard the Bombon from Port Olimpic.
• Food and drinks: Olives, cheese, fuet, fruit, wine, beer, sangria, cava, and vermouth are included.
• Important deposit: The driver must be over 21 and pay a €1,000 deposit before the Ferrari activity.
• Separate locations: The sailing meeting point is at Port Olimpic, while the drive begins at Paseo Juan de Borbón 86.

Two Barcelona pleasures in one two-hour package

This experience is aimed at people who want a memorable activity rather than a long sightseeing tour. You are not spending the whole day touring landmarks. Instead, you get a short burst of Ferrari driving, followed by a slower hour and a half on the sea.

That contrast is the best part. The Ferrari section supplies the excitement. The yacht trip gives you time to sit back, share a drink, and look toward Barcelona from the water. I find this kind of pairing useful on a city break because it gives you both an active moment and a restful one without taking over your entire day.

The package costs $140 per person. That is not a cheap way to get around Barcelona, but the price includes two substantial elements: the driver and passenger car experience, plus a private-feeling boat outing for two with food, drinks, and a skipper. For a couple or two friends who would otherwise pay separately for a short driving activity and a sailing trip, the combination can offer solid value.

The important word is short. The Ferrari drive lasts about 20 minutes, not an extended road trip. You are paying for the thrill of driving the car, the setting, and the unusual pairing with sailing. If your priority is maximum time behind the wheel, a longer Ferrari package may suit you better.

Starting at Paseo Juan de Borbón 86

The driving activity begins at Paseo Juan de Borbón 86 in Barcelona. You should treat this as a separate appointment from the sailing check-in, because the package does not include transport between the two activities.

The exact order and times are confirmed by the car company and the activity team. In some cases, the drive may come before the boat trip. In others, the schedule could be arranged differently. Give the operator your complete international phone number so the team can reach you with the confirmed times.

This matters more than it might seem. The sailing check-in is at Port Olimpic, while the driving location is at a different address. Build in enough time for the transfer and do not assume that a boat departure time automatically leaves plenty of room for the drive. The package description allows two hours for the main activities, but your total outing will be longer once you add transport and check-in.

You need to arrive at the sailing meeting point 10 minutes before departure. For the driving portion, bring your passport and driving license. The driver must be at least 21 years old. If your license comes from a country outside the Vienna Convention, you also need an international driving license.

What 20 minutes behind a Ferrari wheel means

The car portion is a proper driver and passenger experience for two people. One person drives while the instructor rides alongside. That arrangement is useful for anyone who wants the thrill of handling a Ferrari without being left to manage an unfamiliar car alone.

The route includes a scenic drive through Barcelona and lasts around 20 minutes. You should expect the appeal to come from the combination of the Ferrari itself, the city roads, and the feeling of driving a high-performance car with an instructor beside you. This is not presented as a racetrack session, so you should not book it expecting timed laps or an all-day performance driving course.

Past comments have singled out the fun of cruising Barcelona in a drop-top Ferrari, along with friendly staff and good value. Those details help set the tone. The car section is about the moment: the sound, the attention, and the novelty of driving a Ferrari in a major Mediterranean city. It is less about covering a large distance.

If you are sharing the booking with a partner, decide in advance who will drive. The supplied information identifies one driver and one passenger for the car activity, so do not assume that both people will get equal time at the wheel. The boat portion, however, is for both people.

The €1,000 Ferrari deposit

The biggest financial point is the required €1,000 deposit before the driving activity begins. This is separate from the $140 per person booking price.

You should arrive prepared for that charge or authorization and ask the car company exactly how it is handled at check-in. The information provided does not specify whether the deposit is taken in cash, placed on a card, or released at a particular time. That detail should be clarified before you arrive.

This deposit does not make the experience poor value, but it does make the booking less casual. The advertised price may look like an easy add-on to a Barcelona day, yet you need the driver’s passport, the correct license, and access to the deposit. The driver also needs to meet the age requirement.

For anyone under 21, the Ferrari driving portion is not available under the stated rules. The activity information does not provide a separate age rule for the passenger, so confirm that point with the operator if it applies to your group.

Sailing from Port Olimpic aboard Bombon

The sailing portion begins with check-in at Sailing Experience Barcelona in Port Olimpic. Look for the boat named Bombon and arrive 10 minutes before departure.

Once aboard, you have about 1.5 hours on the Mediterranean. The pace changes completely from the road. Instead of concentrating on the car and the instructor, you can sit with your companion, enjoy the coast, and let the skipper handle the boat.

The route is described as a coastal sailing trip, with views back toward Barcelona and out along the shore. Specific landmarks are not promised, so you should think of this as a view-focused boat ride rather than a sightseeing cruise with a long list of narrated stops. The reward is the open water and the changing angle on the city.

The boat capacity for this booking is limited to two participants, with a skipper included. That small format is a real advantage. You are not buying a place on a large party boat. You and your companion get the boat experience without a big group crowding the seating area.

Languages available for the activity are Spanish, English, French, and German. The information identifies the live guide language options but does not provide individual guide names. The skipper is included, and the car section includes a driving instructor.

Snacks and drinks on the yacht

The food is simple and well suited to a short sailing trip. You get olives, cheese, fuet, and fruit. Fuet is a Catalan cured sausage, so it adds a local touch to what might otherwise be a standard boat snack spread.

Drinks include wine, beer, sangria, cava, and vermouth. That selection gives you a few classic Spanish choices as well as familiar options. The drinks are part of the booking, not an extra purchase once you are aboard.

I like this inclusion because it changes the sailing section from a basic transfer on water into a social outing. You can share a small plate, choose a drink, and enjoy the coast without having to plan a separate stop for refreshments.

One practical point deserves care: the package includes alcoholic drinks, but the driver has a driving activity as part of the same outing. Follow the timing arranged by the operator and use good judgment about when you drink. The supplied information does not give a rule about alcohol and the driving portion, so ask the team if your schedule places the sailing and driving close together.

The transfer problem between the two activities

The experience does not include transport between the Ferrari activity and the yacht. This is the main planning issue.

The sailing check-in is at Port Olimpic. The drive starts at Paseo Juan de Borbón 86. Both addresses are in Barcelona, but they are not the same meeting point. You should check the distance and allow extra time before accepting the confirmed schedule.

Do not book a tight restaurant reservation immediately after the advertised two-hour period. The driving time, sailing time, check-in, and transfer do not create a perfectly fixed block. The operator will confirm the activity times, and the car company may set the driving time separately.

If you are staying near the waterfront, this arrangement may be fairly easy to manage. If you are lodging across town, leave more room. You are responsible for getting from one activity to the other, so the package works best when you keep the rest of your day flexible.

Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend this experience to a couple or two friends who want a special Barcelona memory without committing to a full day. It suits people who care about the feel of the activity more than long driving time.

It is also a good fit when one person loves performance cars and the other prefers a relaxed boat trip. The passenger still joins the Ferrari ride, and both people get the full sailing portion, so neither person is left waiting alone for most of the day.

The package may be less suitable for a serious driving enthusiast who wants track time, technical instruction, or several hours in the car. The 20-minute drive is intentionally brief. You should choose it for the Ferrari moment, not for a full driving course.

Families should check the age rules before booking. The driver must be above 21, and the information provided does not spell out the passenger age requirement. Anyone driving must bring the correct identification and license documents.

Value at $140 per person

At $140 per person, the price makes the most sense when two people use both halves of the package. You receive the car activity for a driver and passenger, a 90-minute sailing trip for two, a skipper, snacks, and a wide choice of drinks.

The strongest value comes from the sailing side. A 1.5-hour yacht trip with refreshments gives you a relaxed block of time, while the Ferrari drive adds a rare and memorable extra. The drive is short, but it is the part many people will remember most clearly.

The price is harder to justify if you mainly want Ferrari seat time or if you do not care about sailing. In that case, you are paying for a combined product when one half may not interest you much.

The experience has earned a 4.9 rating from 16 ratings, and the praise centers on fun, friendly staff, value, and the pleasure of cruising Barcelona in a drop-top car. That matches the design of the outing: it is meant to be enjoyable and photogenic, with enough comfort to keep the day from feeling rushed.

Booking details worth handling early

You can cancel up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your Barcelona schedule is not fully settled.

Check availability for the starting times, but remember that the driving time may be confirmed separately by the car company. Provide a complete international phone number so the team can contact you.

Bring:

• Passport or ID card
• Driving license
• International driving license, if your license is from a country outside the Vienna Convention
• Access to the €1,000 Ferrari deposit

Arrive 10 minutes before the boat departure at Port Olimpic. Make sure you know which activity comes first and how you will travel between the two addresses. That small amount of planning will prevent the main avoidable problem with this package.

Should you book the Ferrari and sailing experience?

Book it if you want a compact, high-impact Barcelona activity for two, especially if one of you enjoys cars and both of you like the idea of a relaxed yacht trip with cava, sangria, snacks, and coastal views.

Skip it if you want a long Ferrari drive, a racetrack session, or a fully arranged day with transport between every stop. The €1,000 deposit and separate meeting points also mean you should not treat this as a spontaneous add-on.

For the right pair, the mix works well: a quick Ferrari rush, then time on the water with the city behind you. Just confirm the schedule, plan your transfer, and arrive ready for the deposit and documents.
