Full description
Disconnect from routine and discover coves, beaches and little-known corners of the Bay of Cartagena from the sea.
Embark on a modern motorboat and cruise the waters off the historic coast of Cartagena in Murcia. Spot coastal fortifications and old shipyards before relaxing at a fantastic swimming stop in an idyllic anchorage with calm waters. Jump in the water to cool off, snorkel, and enjoy a cold drink on board. It will be 2 hours of relaxation and fun discovering the most beautiful and unknown side of this corner of the Mediterranean.
What we will do
We will start our adventure 15 minutes before sailing time at the meeting point in the Port of Cartagena, where the organisers will welcome us for boarding. Once we have settled into a modern and very comfortable boat with cushioned seats, we will cast off to begin a journey of between 8 and 10 nautical miles that will show us the most fascinating side of the coastline of Cartagena.
We will sail around the Bay of Cartagena, sighting historical points of great interest such as the Military Arsenal, the Navantia Shipyards and surprising coastal batteries such as the Fort of Navidad, Punta de la Podadera, Las Algamecas and Isla de la Torrosa. During the tour, the navigation will be enlivened with recorded commentaries to get to know the secrets of each corner in depth.
The most refreshing moment will come when the professional skipper will look for a special spot in calm, uncrowded waters to anchor the boat. We will have the opportunity to jump into the water for an idyllic swim or explore the seabed snorkelling with the masks and snorkels provided on board. To round off the experience, we will enjoy a drink included (a choice of beer, summer red, soft drink or water) while relaxing in the sun.
After having shared this time of fun and disconnection, we will return to the port of departure having completed 2 hours in total, with the wonderful feeling of having lived a unique experience.
