Real boat life experience in Barcelona, Spain

Detalles

• 

  Descripción

  I’m an engineer and sailing captain passionate about the sea and marine conservation.
  
  I’m currently restoring and operating a traditional wooden sailing boat in Barcelona, focused on cetacean watching, environmental education, and cultural maritime heritage.
  
  The project combines:
  
  • Traditional sailing
  • Marine wildlife observation
  • Public awareness about the Mediterranean ecosystem
  • Wooden boat preservation
  
  I work at sea most of the year and I’m building a small, committed crew around the project — especially people interested in marine biology and life onboard.
  
  This is hands-on, real sea experience — not tourism.
  
  This is a working boat, not a holiday experience — motivation and responsibility are key.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  You will learn:
  
  • Traditional wooden boat sailing
  • Cetacean spotting techniques in the Mediterranean

  Ayuda

  I’m looking for a sailor with a background (or strong interest) in marine biology to join me aboard a traditional wooden sailing boat operating in Barcelona.
  
  Main help needed:
  
  • Assisting with sailing maneuvers and deck operations
  • Supporting cetacean watching trips (spotting, data notes, basic interpretation for guests)
  • Helping with basic boat maintenance (wood care, painting, general upkeep)
  
  Extra helpful (not mandatory):
  • Knowledge of Mediterranean cetaceans / marine fauna
  • Experience guiding or speaking to the public
  • Photography / data collection / hydrophone interest
  
  This is not only boat work — it’s part of an environmental and educational project.

  Alojamiento

  Accommodation on board the boat can be offered. But it depends on the working period, as we sail a lot and also the boat reparations are making live onboard a bit difficult. But...
  
  You will stay in a berth inside the traditional wooden sailing vessel, moored at Port Olímpic (Barcelona).
  
  Conditions are simple but comfortable — this is a real boat life experience, not luxury accommodation.
  
  If you prefer, and travel with a small van, the port parking area can also be an alternative option.
  
  Living on board requires being tidy, respectful of shared spaces, and comfortable with basic sailor conditions.

  Algo más...

  We operate from Port Olímpic, right in Barcelona.
  
  In your free time you can enjoy:
  
  • Beaches 5 min walk
  • Full city access by bike / metro
  • Sailing days along the Barcelona coastline
  
  Barcelona offers unlimited cultural and social life.
  
  This position suits proactive, sea-loving people comfortable with long hours outdoors. Not recommended if you’re only looking for casual sailing.”
