Since
"Welcome to Sailing Trips BCN! I'm Ricard, the captain and founder guiding this maritime odyssey.
My love affair with sailing began amidst the picturesque waters of l'Estartit and Barcelona, where I ventured into instructing dinghy sailing back in the early 2000s. The allure of the sea led me to the captivating landscapes of New Zealand in 2004, where I found myself immersed in the world of seasoned sailors and the renowned roaring forties. It was there that I fostered enduring friendships and embarked on countless South Pacific voyages, surrounded by vibrant marine life under the starry skies.
My expertise flourished aboard the legendary Siesta, a 62-feet maxi sloop, where I honed my skills as a high-seas captain during Mediterranean expeditions. Guiding the remarkable IMOCA60 full carbon Pakea for two exhilarating years across Spain further fuelled my passion for high-speed sailing.
Prior to founding Sailing Trips BCN, I was part of an exciting venture, overseeing the refitting of a 25-meter racing sailboat for transatlantic crossings and expeditions to the Poles. This invaluable experience, combined with navigating tempestuous seas and thrilling winds, inspired me to establish a nautical venture that celebrates the thrill and expertise of sailing.
Sailing Trips BCN embodies my lifelong dedication to sailing, offering enthusiasts and aspiring sailors the opportunity to explore the waves, learn the art of seamanship, and revel in the sheer exhilaration of life at sea."
