Sailboat at sunset with the Barcelona skyline in the background

Barcelona Product & Werkbund present

A sailing event for tech professionals and founders

Sunset sail for Barcelona’s tech and product folks. 11 people, 3 hours, one boat.

Edition 01 & Edition 02 sold out

The idea

Most tech events are too big to meet anyone properly.

Product Aboard takes 11 guests out of Port Olímpic for a three-hour sunset sail. You’ll meet product managers, designers, engineers, founders - anyone building things. A networking event like no other. It includes drinks and snacks, and enough time to actually talk in an intimate environment.

Who's behind this

Hosted by two product people who thought: what if the meetup left the room?

Marc Bisbal

Marc Bisbal

Marc is a Senior Product Manager and one of the people keeping Barcelona’s product scene moving, organizing Lenny’s Newsletter Barcelona and ProductTank Barcelona. He has brought product people together in plenty of rooms, bars, and meetup spaces. With Product Aboard, he wanted to try bringing a smaller audience together for more in-depth conversations and relationships.

As a sailor, she figured that if good ideas happen over coffee, they might happen even better on a sailboat. Product Aboard is her excuse to test that theory.

What people are saying

Two editions, in their words.

I really liked that when people introduced themselves, the emphasis wasn't on where they worked, but on the interesting projects they were involved in — it made the connections feel far more personal and genuine than at other networking events.

FAQ

Before you come aboard.

Who is this for?+

People working around product and tech in Barcelona: PMs, designers, engineers, founders, growth, data, and curious builders. You don’t need “Product” in your job title to come aboard.

What's included?+

A three-hour sunset sail with a professional skipper, light drinks and snacks, and time to swim. Nothing overproduced — it is still a boat.

What if the weather is bad?+

If it is not safe to sail, we reschedule to the next available date. If you cannot make the new date, you get a full refund.

Can I cancel?+

Yes. Because there are very few guest spots, cancellations with a refund are possible until 7 days before the event. After that, we cannot cancel or refund the seat, but you can transfer it to someone else who would also contribute.

Can I bring a friend?+

Yes — if you know someone who would fit the vibe, have them register interest too (or just mention them alongside your own dates). We keep each edition small enough for everyone to actually talk, so it helps us know early.
