Guest Reviews

• Abdallah (10/5): -
• Chris (8/5): Worth it for the price I paid. Staff friendly but leave you alone to enjoy it. - The yacht has an excellent, quirky and a great location. Compromise and go with the flow regarding the unusual loos (not a first time away situation) and the high jump-up into bed.
• Mohammad (10/5): Worth it …. It’s beautiful - It is neat & will managed bout It is a different experience that worth it & lovely The man named Uri was very very helpful & caring with us as humans being not just as customers
• Khrystyna (7/5): -
• frederic (8/5): -
• Markus (8/5): -
• Michael Lars (9/5): -
• laurence (9/5): Différent et original - L'accueil et les rencontres sur le bateau ont été très agréables. Concernant le couchage, il manque des oreillers. On en voit plein sur les photos, mais en réalité c'est un seul et très plat par couchage.
• Semmy De Nada (9/5): Great excotic experience to spend a few nights - Great birthday experience for me Cabin was not that small as feared and the bed was very comfortable and the shower/bathroom was great, with unexpectedly hot/warm water ALL the time when we needed it. All was good.
• Besna (10/5): - La experiencia Ropa de cama sucia.
• Joachim (9/5): Sehr empfehlenswerte Unterkunft. - Die Crew war sehr aufmerksam.
• Alessandro (7/5): -
• Viktor (9/5): Dormir en un velero con historia - Las instalaciones y el trato del personal El precio un poco caro
• Trygve (10/5): We will be back to the boat - Amazing location and great view of the city Not staying longer
• Marina (8/5): Unique experience! Cozy and vintage vibe. - The experience was very unique and the stuff really friendly. Cozy atmosphere with a vintage vibe! The cabins were a bit small and there was no ventilation.
• Jatuporn (8/5): Awesome experience on the beautiful boat! - Location is perfect, close to the old town and next to the cruise terminal where we had to be. Staff were very kind and helpful in every way they can help from the moment we made the reservation until we departed from the boat. Our room(Captain room) is bigger than we expected, the bed is a bit high but comfortable and clean. We could join sailing in the evening that is a special treat! Nothing! We like our experience with Southern Cross.
• Alexander Kot-Zaitsaŭ (8/5): Bardzo klimatyczny nocleg - Bardzo klimatyczna łódź, a w dodatku z historią, bo należała najpierw do królewy Anglii, a potem do Frnka Sinatry. Pokój był malutki, ale miał wszystko, co potrzeba. A poranna kawa na pokładzie jachtu z widokiem na budzącą się Barcelonę to doświadczenie na pewno będę pamiętał jeszcze długo. Dodatkowo bardzo miły i przyjazny personel. Dźwiękoszczelność nie jest najlepsza, słyszałam dźwięki z sąsiedniego pokoju wieczorami, próbując zasnąć.
• Yvonne (10/5): -
• Tracey Borthwick (9/5): - The staff were fantastic
• Benny (10/5): A stay of a lifetime in a royal sail boat! - Very elegant and conveniently located next to major touristic attractions plus amazing views of the harbor We had a small issue with the bathroom but the staff was attentive and solve the problem promptly with good communication
• Tatevik (7/5): -
• Michael (6/5): Vergane glorie naast Shopping Mall - Ligging van de boot, in de haven van Barcelona, ingang Club Nautico- leuke plek De directe omgeving verpest door de vreselijke Mall MareMagnum- een vreetschuur, vreselijk druk. Boot gedateerd- zou opgefrist mogen, vloerbedekking, de douche- gaat net nog, alles wat vlekkig. Cabine erg klein, op foto's lijkt ruimer. Zou wat vrolijker kunnen alles
• Mate (8/5): - Freundliche Gastgeber, hat alles erklärt, Gutes Frühstück , Gute Ort Hat geregnet und war kalt in Zimmer
• Svetlana (9/5): -
• Silvia (9/5): - Nous avons adoré cette expérience sur le Nouthern Cross! L emplacement est idéal et tout en étant très proches de la ville, on bénéficie d un espace de calme pour se détendre loin de la foule. César s est montré chaleureux et attentif pour rendre notre séjour le plus agréable possible. Nous le remercions chaleureusement.

• TXEMA77 (10/5): - El barco es una pasada y el personal aún mejor. Si quieres visitar la ciudad y estar cerquita del centro de la ciudad está es sin duda la mejor opción en Barcelona. Repetiremos seguro ... MERCI!!!!!!!! Nada.....todo fue espectacular
• Wioletta (8/5): -
• matthieu (9/5): A Historic Beauty with Top-Tier Service - The staff, especially César, were very helpful, professional, and friendly. The boat is beautiful and steeped in history; an interesting experience. I would have loved to see it sailing but I had to return. there was a musty smell, which is typical of sailboats, but maybe the bathroom could be aired a bit more when the weather is nice.
• Şerife (10/5): Amazing! - It was a great experience for me to stay in a yacht! The staff and service were fantastic!
• Pauline (7/5): Expérience intéressante mais très mauvaise insonorisation - Petite cabine entourée de bois, très jolie et joli bateau, belle vue sur Barcelone et expérience sympa, personnel sympa. Difficile de dormir. Très mauvaise insonorisation des cabines (normal pour un bateau j'imagine), surtout quand vos voisins sont très bruyants et irrespectueux entre minuit et 3h du matin, et que vous subissez le bruit de leurs ébats. Pour cette raison nous ne reviendrons pas.
• Danni (9/5): Fantastic, would definitely stay again! - Loved the interior, views on the deck, the security of the marina, the staff were lovely and it was an all round good experience in a great location. Not a huge fan of not being able to flush toilet paper down the toilet (but understandable!) Saw a jacuzzi on board but wasn’t working, if that working it would have made the experience even better!
• Grant (10/5): Fantastic location for Barcelona! - I’ve stayed on boats on a number of occasions in the past and this is one of the nicer ones. It was incredibly clean. And well appointed. And the location was close to a lot of amazing walking areas and sites. I don’t eat breakfast, but the coffee was fine. It was also nice to meet some fellow travelers. Of course at 6 foot 4, the berth was a little small for me, but that’s exactly what I expected. All good!
• Huguette (8/5): The additional sail was perfect at the end of a long day! - It was in the marina very close to the old town The rooms/ cabins on the sail boat are pretty small but I love the rocking motion.
• Lia Devincenzi (7/5): Unique stay experience in Barcelona - Fantastic location, comfy bed, lovely breakfast and Cesar was very friendly and there to help with anything. N/a
• Olha (8/5): -
• Verena (9/5): - Frühstück reichhaltig Personal klasse, ceasar besonders freundlich und supportive. Danke
• Aleksandr Fokin (10/5): - Было удивительно узнать, что лодка была построена для свадьбы Елизаветы II, а потом ей владел Фрэнк Синатра. Конечно, лодка это не так удобно, как отель, но эта лодка это что-то удивительное, с историей, шикарным кокпитом. Выпить вечером шампанского на крыше и любоваться бухтой - это просто прекрасно. Очень рекомендую. Доступ к лодке, т.к. она находится на закрытой территории яхтенной школы. Это не проблема, но создаёт сложности.
• 民揚 (10/5): A must-try experience in Barcelona—I would definitely come back again. - The stay exceeded my expectations. The two crew members were extremely friendly and professional—clearly very dedicated to their work. The breakfast was excellent, and staying on a boat was such a unique and enjoyable experience. Nothing at all. Everything was wonderful.
• Yann (8/5): -
• Joseph (5/5): Seemed a good idea but didn't hit the mark. - Locaton was great for getting around. Plenty to do around the area of the boat. Communication seemed good to start with but then became more difficult. Was asked to make my way to one area and then call. I was told someone would meet me there. I then called the number and had a broken conversation with a staff member and eventually worked out that I now needed to make my way to another location. Not great! There was a dampness smell in the cabin and they could do with upgrading the mattress and bedding covers. On the deck there were no chairs and not long after I arrived all staff left. Breakfast in the morning was pretty basic. I booked this accommodation for 2 nights but after one night I ended up booking into a hotel.
• Darren (9/5): -
• Levina (9/5): - L'équipage sympathique malgré que je ne parlais pas la langue 😛 Super intérieur Dommage on entend trop nos voisins des autres cabines !!!
• Helga (10/5): Ein unvergessliches, entspanntes Erlebnis in einer überfüllten Stadt - Ein unglaublich netter Empfang. Die Crew war einzigartig! Es war schön zu sehen, mit welcher Hingabe das Schiff gepflegt und sauber gehalten wurde. Es waren nur insgesamt 10 Gäste an Board, es war immer sehr ruhig und ausreichend Platz. Nachdem in Barcelona (über Ostern) sehr viele Touristen waren, haben wir immer wieder die Ruhe am Sonnendeck genossen und waren 2 Mal (gratis!) bei einer Ausfahrt dabei. Das Frühstück war sehr traditionell, ausreichend und gut. Unser Aufenthalt war wirklich einzigartig und sehr erholsam. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an das liebe Team, wir sehen uns bestimmt wieder!!! Es war alles so wie es sein soll!!
• Olha (10/5): The Charm of an Authentic Yacht Stay - The atmosphere of an authentic yacht is truly something special. Being right in the maritime heart of Barcelona, with unforgettable sunsets and moments that will stay with me as warm memories, made the experience even more unique. The staff were polite, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.
• Renato (8/5): -
• Nilda (10/5): -
• Bart (9/5): - Super aardig personeel en we mochten kostenloos anderhalf uur meevaren op zee, inclusief wijn en snacks.
• Wendy (9/5): -
• Györgyné Rézmányi (10/5): - Szép környezetben, csodálatos személyzettel. Nagy élmény volt. Tökéletes reggeli. Figyelmesek,segítőkészek voltak. Csak ajánlani tudom.
• François (10/5): Atypique et à faire - Le côté original... Pouvoir dormir sur un bateau à Barcelone c'est vraiment atypique Rien. Le personnel est vraiment sympa. C'est un équipe jeune qui cherche à améliorer sans cesse le bateau.
• Erik (10/5): -
• Alexandru (5/5): An experience not to be considered - It is an interesting experience to test boat accommodation. The way it was promoted as a 4 star experience raise expectations. I would hardly provide a 3 star to this boat. The boat itself is from 1960s and you can see it is old both the main cabinet and the bathroom. Also had several challenges as I have been initially announced that the boat might be on the sea during the day and I might be able to use the room only evenings. Last but not least they did not want to provide an invoice for my stay and only with multiple escalations to booking.com site they eventually provided a receipt 3 weeks after my trip.
• Maggie (3/5): - The location is good. The living room areas on the boat are good. My cabin is very small. The basic hygiene standard in my ensuite is shocking! There was no toilet seat that fastened onto the toilet. The shower curtain was so long that I couldn't avoid standing on the bottom of the shower curtain in the very small shower tray, which is pretty dangerous as it could be very slippery. And the shower curtain was very mouldy. While having a shower, the water built up in the shower tray so quickly due to the poor plumbing that I had to keep on turning the shower tap off to avoid flooding the whole cabin.
• Gisèle (8/5): - L'emplacement
• Dobrescu Kovács (10/5): -
• ralf (9/5): Tip Top ! - Außergewöhnliches Gefühl auf einem Boot Zeitzu verbringen. Das Schiff ist alt und das riecht man im Zimmer . Es ist hellhörig am morgen .
• b.sarah98 (10/5): -
• Inna (10/5): Очень рекомендую - Необычно и незабываемо!!! Отличное расположение- в центре Барселоны, в шаговой доступности от исторического центра, очень красивая парусная яхта. Все очень понравилось
• Ludovic (9/5): - Disponibilité, informations reçues, accueil, emplacement
• Rami (10/5): Best value for a money for a long time. - Perfect location, still quiet even in the middle of everything. Ten points for the crew 💪🫶 Gate keeper was confused and he was instructing me to another pier, even ship was in exact spot where the crew have informed.
• Amelia (10/5): I will definitely recommend - Breakfast view was unbeatable As was the buffet Nothing Staff were super helpful and kind
• Melanie (10/5): -
• Rune Hellgren (10/5): Rigtigt godt og især med top-service til en fair pris - Pablo og de andre gjorde alt for at sikre os et hyggeligt ophold. Gav os gratis vand og sodavand ved ankomst og ved afgang. Og hjalp os med at passe på taskerne indtil om aftenen den dag, vi tjekkede ud. Top-service, flinke folk. Kunne lide det hele
• Stephen (10/5): - If I could I would rate my experience as 10 stars ⭐⭐⭐ from being picked up by the captain at the meeting point to the end of my visit, him and his crew were absolutely amazing. Greatest place I have ever stayed in Barcelona. I would go back in a heartbeat and I thoroughly recommend this ship to anyone who wants a unique experience with expert care from every member of a fantastic team. Nothing it was incredible
• Charlotta (6/5): -
• Samanta (9/5): - L originalità della struttura, la vista meravigliosa di Barcellona, il mare, il cielo, dormire cullati dalle onde del mare, esperienza unica e magica, gli interni vintage e tutta l atmosfera che ti faceva fare un tuffo nel passato Nulla
• 保坂 (7/5): -
• Katarzyna (10/5): Excellent expirience - I read reviews before the trip, so I knew the cabins were small (because they are)—but what can you expect in a boat? We were surprised by the quite large bathroom with a nice shower. It doesn't depend on anyone, but the very high humidity meant that I couldn't control my own hair 🤣
• Heather (10/5): -
• Yvonne (10/5): Außergewöhnlicher Aufenthalt mit tollem Service - Ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt mit sensationeller Lage im Hafen. Kleine Probleme beim Check In wurden umgehend und problemlos behoben. Cesar, danke für deinen freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Empfang. Unser Auto parkte sicher im Hafengebiet. Frühstück sehr lecker, für jeden was dabei. Ein außergewöhnliches Erlebnis.
• Anke (9/5): - Top Lage in der Altstadt. Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft. Top Service durch die Crew. Maritime Atmosphäre. Frühstück einfach, aber ausreichend. Die Kabinen könnten sauberer sein (Teppich).
• Begoña (8/5): - La amabilidad y disponibilidad del personal. El precio era elevado para un barco anclado en puerto
• Fabrizia (10/5): Great Captain experience! - The atmosphere of the whole ship, the welcoming crew, the location, the breakfast, everything was great. I had the pleasure and honour to sleep in the Captain room, and everything was clean, very cured and comfortable. I would have loved to spend more time on the ship, I am definitely going to go back there!
• Rozsa (8/5): -
• Virginie (9/5): Une belle expérience, originale, calme, à proximité du centre historique. Nous reviendrons ! - L'accueil était très sympathique. Fayçal était chaleureux et nous a tout expliqué, de l'histoire du bateau au fonctionnement. Sa collègue était également très avenante. Le bateau a plus de 100 ans et il est magnifique. Il a su garder son âme. La localisation est parfaite, le centre historique est accessible à pied, et être dans le port offre des nuits calmes, avec une très belle vue sur la ville. Le parking du centre commercial Maremagnum est juste à côté et permet de laisser sa voiture en sécurité pour la durée du séjour. Malheureusement, les moquettes dans les chambres sont vétustes, ce qui donne une sensation de manque de propreté. Et il manquait une bouilloire à côté de la machine à café pour les buveurs de thé et tisanes.
• Steve (8/5): -
• Levchuk (9/5): Чудове поселення на Яхті в Барселоні - Yaht is near the Barceloneta beach and 20 minutes walk frim the city center. It nice and clean and in the good weather you can much enjoy morning and evening views. I really liked it a lot and consider stayinf for several days affordably cozy stay. Check the weather conditions!
• Fiona (8/5): - Peaceful on board comfy room, hosts kind and welcoming
• Світлана (7/5): - Сніданки, місце розташування
• Petra (10/5): - Skvela lokalita, ochotny personal, skvely pristup a ochota kapitana Tesara, bol vynikajuci, v tomto case - koniec februara, bolo na kavine dost chladno ale ochotne poskytli aj v neskorych nocnych hodinach ohrievac a deky navyse, ranajky vyborne pohodlne Vlhko na kabinach 😁
• Heather (10/5): -
• ARNAUD (8/5): À refaire en mer - Tout Le personnel adorable L'emplacement idéal La qualité du sommeil Mal isolé entre cabines si voisins peu respectueux on les subit
• Gilles (7/5): Convient pour un séjour court au centre de Barcelone si tolérant sur la qualité de l'hébergement. - La localisation est excellente. La bateau a du charme. Les cabines sont un peu vieillissantes (les photos du site sont très flatteuses) et la propreté approximative. Le petit déjeuner est vraiment minimal.
• Gintaras (8/5): Best value for money in Barcelona - Location and atmosphere is superb. Specific smell and humidity.
• Ľubica (5/5): - Lokalita Raňajky boli oničom a dosť tam bol hluk, z lode a z iných kajút
• Alexander (10/5): -
• Anna (8/5): Bella esperienza per una notte - Esperienza affascinante! Camera elegante di legno con tutti i comfort (stufetta, asciugamani, coperte, saponi). Ottima colazione inclusa. Porto molto tranquillo e in un’ottima posizione Non c’entra con la struttura ma ovviamente essendo una barca ondeggia un po’. Sconsiglio a chi soffre il mal di mare. Io mi sono abituata dopo 10 min
• Elena (9/5): - Местоположение идеальное, рядом абсолютно всё что нужно. Достопримечательности, магазины, торговый центр, остановка вообще в 2х минутах. Яхта убаюкиеват Так как мы были зимой то в каюте был обогреватель Персонал приветлив Чисто Завтрак +- тоже хорошо Нам понравилось очень, был незабываемый опыт. Иногда громковато, так как яхту качало, но мы это ожидали и это не было проблемой Не было фена для водос(
• Lopez Acosta (8/5): -
• Rohit (9/5): A memorable experience on the sailing boat - Am awesome experience living on a historic sailing boat. The hosts did everything to make my stay comfortable and memorable. Will surely come back It would be very helpful if they store the bags in case of early arrival. Or else its quite challenging to move around with bags
• Diego (9/5): -
• Jamie (8/5): A fantastic experience all around - The location is spot on you can basically get to anywhere in Barcelona in walking distance they have security on the port . Na
• Serhii (9/5): -
• Natalie (10/5): Exceptional stay on the water in the heart of Barcelona - Exceptional stay in the heart of Barcelona!Unique and beautiful place, perfectly located right in the city center, yet calm and relaxing. The crew was absolutely amazing — incredibly kind, attentive and genuinely caring, making us feel welcome from the very first moment. Breakfast was delicious. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something special, memorable and full of charm.
