6.Helicopter Flight with Optional Yacht Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 224 reviews · 7 minutes - 2 hours · from $134

Pair a short helicopter flight over Barcelona with a 1.5-hour yacht cruise, if you choose the Fly & Sail option. Morthada coordinates the schedule, while Marcello, known as the Spaghetti Captain, may lead the sailing trip. Expect separate departure points, a schedule confirmed the day before, and striking views of the city from two very different angles.

“Morthada from Sailing Experience Barcelona arranged the yacht cruise and the helicopter ride exactly as requested. He coordinated everything perfectly with me and ensured that the timings fit seamlessly with my schedule. A special mention to our yacht guide, Marcello – the “Spaghetti Captain.” He was very humorous and, at the same time, extremely knowledgeable, with 26 years of sailing experience. He made our sailing trip exciting and engaging with his stories, laughter, and expertise. The helicopter ride was both safe and fun. The view of Barcelona from above was truly mesmerizing. I would definitely recommend this experience to my friends.”
