					  What a fantastic two hours sailing along the coast of Barcelona. The views are amazing and such a wonderful way to get some peace and tranquility.  It was such... read more a relaxing experience. I have always loved sailing since childhood,  but I don’t get chance to do any now. This was a lovely opportunity to get back out on the water and brush those cobwebs away.

The skipper Faith, was so friendly and clearly very experienced. The safety briefing was excellent and reassured my land capped friends.

The boat called ‘No limits’ sails really well, is clean and spacious.

This is truly an experience to suit all,  My friends settled down in the cockpit, wrapped up in blankets (all provided) drinking Cava and eating Olives and snacks whilst I get involved in sailing the boat. 

I highly recommend this sailing trip to all, it really does cater for everyone.  I will be booking my next trip with Barcelona Watersports.

					  We loved this sunset sail. Faye and her crew were very kind, served us unlimited wine and beer and a few olives and chips to snack on. Beautiful views of... read more the city’s harbor and surrounding area. Highly recommend this excursion!

					  My husband and I bought a boat this summer, and although we had used it a few times, we were grateful for the tuition and confidence that our trainer, Seb,... read more was able to give us. 

Because we were offered the flexibility of completing our Level 2 Powerboat on our own boat, we were able to ask boat (and berth) specific questions and really get a feel of what we were able to achieve in our own craft.

Seb was friendly, informative, and an excellent teacher. He pitched the course at our level, and was happy to answer any and all of our questions. 

We are currently looking at further training, and will not hesitate to come straight to Torquay Watersports.
