CREATE A PACKAGEBooking a private boat is one of the most consistently popular hen do activities in Barcelona, and once you’ve seen the coastline it makes complete sense. The water is calm along the harbour front, the views of the city from the sea are genuinely spectacular and there is something about being on a boat together that makes the whole group relax in a way other activities don’t quite manage.
Most groups go for a catamaran rather than a motor yacht, mainly because the deck space is better for larger groups and the sailing experience feels more like an event. Catamarans can take up to 30 people and almost all include a skipper, sound system and drinks package as standard. Prosecco on departure has become something of a tradition for hen groups.
Trips run from 2 to 4 hours with morning, afternoon and early evening departure times. The sunset slot in summer books up early, so it is worth reserving that one well in advance of the weekend.

Top 10 Barcelona Hen Activities for 2026
Chosen by our Barcelona-based team after thousands of hen weekends
Barcelona has become Europe's top destination for hen weekends, and these ten activities are the reason why. Whether your group wants to sail the coast on a private catamaran, laugh through a nude life drawing class, or get the full VIP treatment with a Magic Mike dinner experience, Barcelona has the variety to keep every girl in the group happy. The Cocktail Masterclass and Tapas gives the group a chance to eat, drink and compete without leaving their seats, while the Beach Picnic and Tapas Tour cover the stylish, relaxed side of the city. For something more indulgent, the Party Bus and Butler in the Buff take care of the evening in style. BCN Events and Crawls has been organising Barcelona hen weekends for over a decade. Every activity on this list is tried, tested, and booked by hundreds of groups every year.
