Boat & Ferry Travel in Barcelona

Boat & Ferry Travel

Ferries to and from the Balearic Islands (Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza) arrive and leave from the Estació Marítim in the port south of the Columbus Monument. Trasmediterránea transports passengers and vehicles to the Balearics. Golondrina harbor boats make short trips from the Portal de la Pau, near the Columbus Monument. The fare is EUR 7 for a 90-minute ride out past the beaches, half that for a 30-minute harbor ride. There is also a longer excursion in a glass-bottom catamaran that parallels the coast up to the Platja del Bogatell east of Barcelona's Olympic Port. Depending on the weather, the catamarans (EUR 9 per person) leave every hour on the half hour from 11:30 to 5:30 (6:30 from Holy Week through September). Regular Golondrina departures are spring and summer (Holy Week through September), daily 11-7; fall and winter, weekends and holidays only, 11-5. It's closed mid-December-early January. For information call 93/442-3106.
