Sail out from Palamós and explore the Formigues Islands and Cap Roig by catamaran on a relaxed afternoon cruise. This shorter Costa Brava experience focuses on quiet sailing, two swim stops, and snorkelling in clear coastal water.
Depart from the Port of Palamós and sail north along the Costa Brava towards the Formigues Islands. The catamaran follows the coastline at a steady pace, prioritising sailing whenever conditions allow to keep the journey calm and comfortable.
The first stop is at the Formigues Islands, where the catamaran anchors for around one hour. This area is known for clear water and rocky seabeds, making it well suited to swimming and snorkelling. Guests can enter the water directly from the boat, use the floating mat, or relax on deck in shaded seating or on the bow nets.
After re-boarding, the cruise continues along the coast to Cap Roig for a second swim stop of approximately 45 minutes. This gives additional time in the water before the return sail to Palamós. Routes and timings may be adjusted by the skipper depending on sea and wind conditions while keeping the overall structure of the excursion.
Boarding and disembarkation take place in the Port of Palamós. The harbour is centrally located and easy to reach on foot, by car, or by taxi, with nearby amenities and parking.
Guests are advised to arrive in good time before departure to allow for boarding and safety briefings.
No sailing experience is required. This excursion is suitable for families, couples, and groups looking for a shorter afternoon cruise with swimming and snorkelling.
Guests should be comfortable spending several hours on a boat and entering the water via ladder. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times, particularly during swim stops.
This route offers access to the Formigues Islands, an area that is difficult to reach without a boat, combined with a second coastal stop at Cap Roig. Two swim stops within a compact timeframe provide variety without the commitment of a full-day excursion.
The experience focuses on space and comfort on board, with shaded seating, open deck areas, and wide bow nets. Sailing is prioritised when conditions allow, reusable cups are used, and the pace remains relaxed throughout the trip.
The excursion lasts approximately three and a half hours, departing at 15:30 and returning around 19:00.
Exact return times may vary slightly depending on sea conditions.
Boarding and disembarkation take place in the Port of Palamós.
