Full description
Break away from the summer routine and set off to explore the true essence of the Mediterranean at the pace of sailing, with stops for a swim and complete freedom.
Climb aboard a beautiful wooden sailing boat from 1949 in Palamós and enjoy a 6-hour shared cruise. Sail with the wind at your back, take a dip in hidden coves inaccessible from land to go snorkelling or paddleboarding, and relax on deck whilst savouring a traditional aperitif with a drink included. A brilliant, relaxing experience steeped in history, ideal for switching into holiday mode and connecting with the sea in complete tranquillity.
What we will do
We will arrive on time at the meeting point in Palamós, Girona. There, the professional skipper and crew will be on hand to welcome us aboard the “Ría de Ferrol”, a spectacular wooden sailing ship built in 1949. After a brief introduction and a review of the essential safety rules, we’ll settle down on its classic deck to begin our day’s sailing.
We’ll set sail for the wildest coves and hidden corners of the Girona coastline, combining sailing and motoring depending on the wind conditions each day. The route is designed to allow us to enjoy the seascape at a leisurely pace. As we make our way between imposing cliffs, the crew will share fascinating insights into the ship’s history and the secrets of the Costa Brava.
We’ll drop anchor in coves with crystal-clear waters sheltered from the wind to enjoy the sea at our own pace. There’ll be time to put on our lifejackets and jump into the water to swim, explore the seabed with the included snorkelling gear, or test our balance by hopping onto a paddleboard. If you’d rather stay dry, you can lie back and soak up the sun on board, relax under the deck awning, or work up an appetite with a traditional snack of potatoes and olives alongside your complimentary drink.
After a bite to eat, we’ll make the most of our free time to rest on the boat’s spacious decks, sunbathe or enjoy a pleasant nap lulled by the waves. After completing the full 6 hours of this unforgettable maritime and gastronomic experience, we’ll return to the port of Palamós feeling fully recharged.

The activity is suitable for everyone aged 0 and over.
