Great Captain experience!

Pros: 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!

A memorable experience on the sailing boat

Pros: Am awesome experience living on a historic sailing boat. The hosts did everything to make my stay comfortable and memorable. Will surely come back

Cons: 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

Exceptional stay on the water in the heart of Barcelona

Pros: 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.

Great accommodation!

Pros: The Southern Cross was perfect for my stay. I wanted some space to myself that was located conveniently. Both requirements were fulfilled by the Southern Cross. It is an old boat, so don't expect luxury. The bed was a little on the shorter side, which was fine for me (1,67m). Depending on how tall you are, you might want to reconsider though. The bathroom was tiny but had everything you need and was absolutely sufficient for a few nights. I was there in January and it was quite cold outside. The little heater they provided was more than enough though, to keep me warm. Without the heater, it would have been tough. I can't say anything about the breakfast because I haven't tested it.

Cons: The air was a little stuffy and I was too dumb to open the window in the bathroom. But I think that was on me.

Beautiful historical yacht with a soul

Pros: Absolutely beautiful yacht with a history and a soul, well equipped. Living room area is very comfortable with wonderful views on a port, a circus, aquarium and a historical city with a lot of lights at night. Breakfast exceeded our expectation. Enough hot water for shower. We had all we needed. Nearby restaurants in a port (cca 10 min.walk) We will be happy to come back in warmer months.

Cons: January was quite cold when temperature dropped to 4°C, we only had a mini heater in our cabin, but the living room was very cold. We ate our breakfast wearing warm jackets and hats. The boat is very old, all doors squeek and bang, windy night was very loud on the boat. The personell was like a ghost :-D, we found prepared breakfast and cleaned room, but didn't see anyone during our stay. We would come back anyway, but preferably in the summer.

I had a good poisoning when I arrived. No issues with the place. Very interesting boat

Pros: Interesting experience. i was ill during my stay. Had food poisoning so couldn’t enjoy my stay at all

Cons: One part of the mattress was wet due to condensation i think. I don’t blame anyone anyway. I was ill and I didn’t want to make fuss out of this. I had very bad food poisoning so I cannot say bad thing about the stay.
