BARCELONA PORT WATERSPORTS BASE

HOW WILL YOU BE GOING TO SEA THIS SEASON?

THE SEA, THE WIND… AND YOU

The Badalona Port Watersports Base is one of Marina de Badalona’s services intended to offer you different ways of getting into the sea and making suggestions that include everyone. Because, whoever you are, you shouldn’t be deprived of the chance to try that first contact between you, the sea and the wind, and then to continue the relationship with supported and guided activities. The Watersports Base promotes the culture of the sea based on watersports that offer great values in terms of personal and collective development. These include the city’s cultural seagoing heritage, individual responsibility, and empathy and respect for the marine environment. There are opportunities for children of all ages, teenagers and adults. You can do them in a group, alone or however you like, depending on the occasion. They can be leisure activities, competitions, celebrations, or lessons for children as part of the school curriculum, after school or as special holiday courses.

The sea, the wind and you. Take the plunge and experience a more direct relationship with the sea around you. If you’re keen, we’ll guide you with our expertise. And you can use our equipment and port facilities, pushing off from the slipway or Marina Beach. Get off your towel and into the sea, with light sailing, surfing and paddleboarding or kayaking. You’ll never look at the water the same way again.

The sea is calling all of us!

CHOOSE HOW YOU’RE GOING TO GET INTO THE SEA FROM THE PORT AND MARINA BEACH

WE’RE YOUR BEST OPTION

LIGHT SAILING

Your first contact with sailing is in small, manoeuvrable, folding boats perfect for learning and for your first races, as a group, in pairs or individually. We have Fusion and Ludics models. Why not come along?

PADDLEBOARDING

It’s the latest trend. You move along on a surf board standing up, propelled by a paddle. People love it because it’s safe and because you do it by yourself. There’s also the XL version, where you can go out in a group. Try it!

WINDSURFING

This combines a board a sail, linked and coordinated via a mast, so you can slide over the waves. You can steer and pick up speed, depending on the wind, by rotating the sail. Give it a go!

KAYAKING

Kayaks are propelled with one or two paddles. We have models of kayak for one, two or three people. They’re ideal for doing sport by admiring the skyline and for going out in groups, or in a two-seater. Like all the suggestions, kayaking is something you can do at any time of year. After all, the Inuit people do it in the frozen Arctic!

TRADITIONAL SAILING

The ketch Ciutat Badalona, Marina Badalona’s classic boat, allows us to teach traditional sailing. This is possible thanks to the alliance between the Watersports Base and the Association of Friends of the Ketch Ciutat Badalona.

CRUISE SAILING

Coordination with Badalona Sailing Club also provides opportunities in the world of cruise sailing. There are interesting options such as the crew exchange, and the sailing club for non-owners. Give it a whirl!

RACES

The competitive spirit is part of being human and we love to organise watersports leagues, races and regattas. Why not?

FOR ALL AGES

The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll discover a whole new world. There are options for all ages. Don’t be shy!

FACILITIES

The Watersports Base is a service provided by one of the newest ports on the Catalan coast, with its own esplanade, slipway, hangar, changing rooms and even a beach. It has the services and staff any marina needs: car parking, bars and restaurants, administration and additional services.

ACCESSIBILITY AND CENTRAL LOCATION

You can come here from wherever you like by bike, scooter, bus, train or metro, on foot or in a private vehicle. We’re in the central coastal region in the metropolitan area, within reach of the whole city and the county.

COMPETITIVENESS

If you compare all the parameters that need evaluation – the training and expertise of our team, our equipment, spaces and safety measures – we win hands down.

STRAIGHT INTO THE SEA

Whatever activity you choose, you can go straight into the sea, either via the slipway or from our beach. You don’t have to walk along endless pontoons or evade hordes of swimmers.

MARINA BEACH

Badalona Port has a slipway and a beach. Not many facilities have both these elements, making the marina perfect for all watersports activities.

RECOGNITION

We are recognised by the Catalan Sailing Federation and we apply its standards.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment suitable for all the watersports we offer is available in the dry dock hangar, guaranteed by the port’s resources and staff.

QUALIFIED TEAM

We have instructors with the training and expertise required for each activity and knowledge of the environment. People on work placements are incorporated into the team to promote the blue economy and the circular economy.

SAFETY

Auxiliary support boats, life jackets and telecommunications are all included in the port’s own safety plan, which is supported by the resources of the port and Marina Beach, which has a lifeguard service during the summer season.

COURSES AND PLAY SCHEMES

These are organised as weeks of leisure activities, offering multi-activity watersports (light sailing, rowing, kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkelling, traditional sailing, etc.) and also courses and schemes focusing on particular activities sailing, rowing or paddle boarding). Ask us and book. If you’re not sure, we can design an option specially for you.

DAY ACTIVITIES

Book one or more days of activities on our courses and playschemes. You can come by public transport. We’ve also got space for parking coaches and for scooters and bikes. You can use the children’s playground and other areas to round off the day. Let’s get it organised!

SCHOOL SAILING

We’ve been included in the School Sailing programme promoted by the Catalan Sports Council, together with the Catalan Sailing Federation, Badalona Sailing Club and the city council. If you’re interested, let your school know. This is a subsidised activity linked to the out-of-school activities programme.

OUT-OF-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

They offer safe, nearby, open-air fun doing sports. You can even have them in English if you like. What more can you ask of an out-of-school activity. How about letting us prepare an activity you can do at the same time as your children?

PERFECCIONAMENT I ENTRENAMENTS

GUIDED ACTIVITIES

Group outings in boats with an instructor who specialises in leading and stimulating groups. To have fun, to learn the basic techniques and to absorb the sea with the people you care about. For families and for two or three people, including light sailing, paddleboarding and kayaking.

CELEBRATIONS

Open-air company outings to reinforce roles. At the end of the day, sailing is all about you and the sea – making decisions depending on the circumstances.
