Option 1: 3.5 hours sailing trip from Palamos
Look forward to an exceptional sailing trip from Palamos along Costa Brava. The 1915 built, traditional sailing boat with Latin sail is a feast for the eyes, on which up to 25 passengers have space. Get abducted by this marvellous sailing boat and join the sailing tour from Palamos in northern direction along the shore. Watch how the Latin sail catches the wind and how the sailboat glides calmly and gently over the sea, while the crew tells you about the fascinating history of the sailboat and shows you, how the sails work.
You'll start the sailing excursion from the bay of Palamos, passing the Cap Gros with its cave inside and continue along the coast. The sailboat takes you by Calella de Palafrugell directly to the picturesque Cala Castell. In this turquoise-blue bay with its long, golden sand beach, you'll be anchoring for a relaxed swim break. On the sailing trip along the Costa Brava, you'll get served a typical Catalan lunch, the "Pa amb Tomaquet", which is bread with a delicious tomato spread. The sailing tour continues to the offshore islands Illas Formigues and afterwards back to Palamos. Enjoy the warm sunshine and the great views on Costa Brava, while you relax on board watching the wide, deep-blue sea.

Detailed description
Get to know Costa Brava on a sailing tour from Palamos
Holidays are becoming the best memories due to unforgettable moments - create some at a wonderful sailing trip from Palamos along Costa Brava. On the half day sailing tour in the summer months, you can sail along the Spanish coast on an antic fishing boat. The Vela Latina sailing boat was constructed in 1915 and continuously renovated and maintained during the course of the years, so you can still enjoy the beauty of the sailboat nowadays, 100 years later. The experienced crew reveals the interesting history of the sailboat and demonstrares you how the special Latin sail works, all of that during the relaxing sailing excursion from Palamos.
Since the sailing boat just has a small capacity of 25 passengers, you can perfectly relax on board of the Costa Brava sailing trip. Let your eyes wander over the varying coastline and enjoy the sunshine and the marvellous views on the endlessly seeming Mediterranean sea. After passing steep cliffs, a sea cave and the village Calella de Palafrugell with its small bay, the traditional sailingboat directly steers to Cala Castell. The bay with turqouise-blue shimmering sea is just perfect for an unwinding swim stop and for trying the traditional Catalan lunch on board. After that, you'll be navigating to the Islas Formigues offshore the Costa Brava, before the sailboat turns around and sails back to Palamos. The sailing trip is also well-suitable for children and an amazing excursion from Palamos to get to know the history and landscape of Costa Brava better.
On the shorter sailing excursion, you'll mostly sail supported by the motor to make the same route in less time. But of course you'll have just as much time for swimming and relaxing on board, while the gorgeous coast passes by. The shorter boat trip at Costa Brava also includes extensive explanations about the history of Castell and the passionate environmental movement "Salvem Castell", that made the area famous.

Overall rating « Worthwhile! »
Yesterday we were on tour with the "Jolie Biche" (the Rafael was already traveling with a school class) and are still thrilled. It was a beautiful trip along the coast, even if the wind for sailing was rather unfavorable. At least we tried. The skipper was very nice and informative, bath stop and snack were great. Conclusion: Recommended :-)(Posted on Jun 20, 2019) Show review in original language
« Lohnenswert! »
Gestern waren wir mit der „Jolie Biche“ (die Rafael war schon mit einer Schulklasse unterwegs) auf Tour und sind immer noch begeistert. Es war ein wunderschöner Ausflug entlang der Küste, auch wenn der Wind zum Segeln eher ungünstig stand. Wir haben es immerhin versucht.
Der Skipper war sehr nett und auskunftsfreudig, Badestop und Snack waren prima.
Fazit: Empfehlenswert :-)(Posted on Jun 20, 2019) Show translated review - Review by Josefa

Overall rating « Always my pleasure! »
It was a relaxing day on the sea. We liked it once to be on a traditional sailboat. The skipper has held for the bath stop at a beautiful bay, where there was then the possibility to swim a round and a bite to eat. The snacks were typical Catalan and simple - but top! Thanks again to the dear Sunbonoo team for the easy handling.(Posted on Jul 17, 2017) Show review in original language
« Immer wieder gerne! »
Es war ein entspannter Tag auf dem Meer. Uns hat es besonders gut gefallen, einmal auf einem traditionellen Segelboot gewesen zu sein. Der Skipper hat für den Badestopp an einer wunderschönen Bucht gehalten, wo es dann die Möglichkeit gab eine Runde zu schwimmen und einen Happen zu essen. Die Snacks waren typisch katalanisch und einfach gehalten - aber top!
Danke nochmal an das liebe Sunbonoo Team für die einfache Abwicklung.(Posted on Jul 17, 2017) Show translated review
